e'er you desecrate this great and
good day. Celebrate it as it should be
and as it was intended to be, day
of prayer and thanksgiving to our
Good Master for his goodness and
kindness to us through all of our
lives. AS the day rolls around we Oft
times reflect, when we see the youth
of the country preparing for wicked
and sinful sport that he intends to
participate in, how greatly the mean
ing of this good day is misconstrued.
Turn over "a new leaf young man, in
life's history and vow to do SO no
more, but instead assemble with
those who do know and who will al
ways be found doing the right thing
at your church, and there i'm humble
submission to His will, offer up to
your good Master u prayer for his
blessings.
Do not desecrate this good day in
the wicked and sinful way that you
have been doing in the past. hold
this Thanksgiving as a holy day.

How to observe Thanksgiving Day

The last Thursday in November is
the day set apart by this great coun-
try of ours, (these grand and g.ori-
Gus United States) for 'Thanksgiv-
ing Day, day wherein every man,
woman and child should bow their
heads in prayer to our Maker for the
multitude of blessings which He has
seen tit to bestow upon each and ev
cry one OF us, though wicked and sin
full we might have been all of our
lives. He has been good to the sinner
as well as to the saint, he has caused
the rain to fall upon the unjust as
well as the just. and yet how far we
fall short of our duty to our Maker.
A great many people, certainly mis-
construe the object and purposes ell
Thanksgiving Day. There are some
who with gun and dog take to the
fields to shoot the innocent and I'M
suspecting quail or dove;maoy others
for any kind of sport, fun or frolic, a.
musements OF any nature. anything
but the real purpose for which this
day was intended. Some few have d
different view and these will remain
at home and talk and discuss their
neighbOrs, their faults and habits;
not for a moment do they speak of
the good traits of these friends and
neighbors, but gossiping and tattle-
ing seem to be the ruling enjoyment
of the day. Then there S class, who
well know the object and purpose of
Thanksgiving day and this class
though small yes, very small, will re-
spect this good day and spent it as
this day should be.
A few of these good people will
meet in their holy sanctuary and lift
up their voices in prayer to their
Master for the many blessings and
comforts showered upon them and
theirs. This class of people are few
and far between, yet the Good Lord
will hear and answer these prayers.
Ny dear young men, stop and reflect

An Appeal for THE Bread Line. -

The Bowery Mission Bread Line, .
at which / 200 men who are out in
the streets for the night are given a
breakfast of hot coffee and rolls every
morning at one clock, is one of the
most pathetic sights in all the wide
wide world. Long before the hour
of opening, these poor starving
men stand in single line that some
times extends for blocks IN length,
waiting for the coffee and rolls.
During the last winter, this break
fast was given to a total of IA, 600
homeless men and boys, and up to-
date nearly half a million of the
homeless have had their weary tramp
restfully interrupted by this unique
ministration. The first of these
Breakfasts is given on Thanksgiving
morning, and the last on the follow
ing Easter morning Altogether the
Mission supplied, this year, over 233,
600 meals and 1902 lodgings to
homeless men and boys.
1t is for this grand, philanthropic
work that we ask your kind and
practical cooperation. The homeless
friendless, disheartened and despair
ing men and boys of the Bowery are
not native New Workers, but men and
boys who, until within a year, hved
happily at the old homestead with
father and mother, and perhaps wife.
They are stranded here, and in des-
pair appeal to the Old Bowery Mission
which, for over thirty years, has been
to the unfortunate, as the rescue cit
les of old, haven of encouragement
rest and protection Shall we turn
them away? 1t rests with the good
people of this country to decide this

a few weeks back in making refer
ence to his election as County Super
intendent of Education of Perry Co.,
we expressed our admiration for
preacher editor A. NJ. Shepard of the
Richton Review, who thus would es-
say to hold down three of the hardest
jobs In the land at one and the same
time. 1t seems that he has wisely
declined to handle the triple position,
and in the last issue of his paper an
nounoes his retirement from the edit
orial chair Here is his vaiedictory:
with this week S issue of the
Perry County Review the present
editor retires from the management
of the paper. We take this step not
because we doubt the possibilities of
the newspaper business at Richton,
but on account of other duties which
take up so much of our time that it
renders it impracticable for us to
continue the management of the pa
per. The incoming editor who has
already been associated with the Office
work will make good all obligations
which have been heretofore assumed
by the paper. We trust that the
Perry County Review will continue
to receive the loyal support of its
many friends. We trust that it will
continue to grow in favor with the
people.
with heartfelt thanks to our
many friends as editor of the Perry
County Review we now bid you fare
well. A. NJ. Sheppard.

When writing up that alluSion to
the small boy at the cane-mil d week
or SO ago, we had no idea finale of
the character that happened out at
Lawrence Cooley's would come to us
to record. A boy of his, eight or nine
years old, it seems got too careless
in his ind1lgences and tricks about
the cane-mill and in some way the
youngsters head went into the grin
ders where the sweet cane-stalks
usually go, and as a consequence,
this juice-swilling lad has scalp
with fourteen deft stitches in it, put
there by DR.. M. L. Batson, who was
summoned to put together what the

side of this the boy suffered no hurt,
and for all we know is back rushing

cess same as ever. Be careful boys,
