Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1906-12-07

Well Thanksgiving day has come
and vanished.
I often mediate about this life of
ours, especially GA days like the one
that has just past and have takeo
this view of it,
Human life what is it, I often feel
that its vapor gllded by q sunbeam
the reflection of heaven in the wat
ers of the earth.
In youth the other world seems a
great way off, but later we feel and
realize that it is close at hand.
We come like the Ocean Wave, to
the shore, but scarcely strike the
strand, before we roll back into for
getfullness whence came.
We must sometime or other enter
on the, last year of our life.
But it will be- the year in which
our body and soul part, the year in
which for us time ends and eternity
begins.
1t is only on the border of eternity
that the fleeting period of life is com
pretended
Thanksgiving Services were held
in our village, conducted by Rev. G..
w. Rainer, and seemed to be enjoyed
by the many, who took advantage of
the beautiful weather to assemble at
the house Of worship to return
thanks for the many blessings be-
slowed upon them in the past year.
Mr. A. Sanders, a senior member
of the Knights of the Grip, was per-
ambulating our streets on Wedaes
day. Grand Pa is Il fine old man.
| have never known him to wash bis
face in frying-pan, [ have never
heard of his combing his head with a
wagon Wheel So anyone can bet
their money on bob tail mule, but !
will stake my money on Grand Pa
securing orders before he leaves the
village for the house he represents.

A few mornings since, as your

Office on turning the corner of the

the Greene Co. place of business
toasting their toes by fire
made from old barrels and
empty goods boxes. I noticed
a person in the crowd who seemed
to be holding the crowd down and
seemed to be very gaily bedeck-
ed in flaming colors and upon close
inspection found it to be the person
age Of Hon. S. |. Green, who lad just
made his triumphial entry in the vii
lage having returned from the Vet
Grams Reunion IN the Gulf City, on
the right lapel Of his coat he wore a
flaming red badge, on his left lapel
he also wore badge of a more mod
est color. He looked like an old war
morse, and I know full well if he had
heard the sound of q drum and fife he
would have made the crowd march to
the front at once, by giving the com
mand shoulder arms.
