Upon the approach of Thanksgiv-
ing the thoughtful mind naturally
reverts to the past, particularly the
we are thankful and the misfor-
tunes for which we should be thank
full. The Presidents message teens
with encouraging facts-a prosper
Gus nation, nation free from pesti-
lence, famine and war. Our own
State, and particularly our own
county, is peculiarly blessed in
temporal things. Individually we
can every one find much to be thank
full for. We call to mind the poor
creature who thanked God that she
had only one leg, because I've
sho'ly got lust one foot to get cold
and I'm powerful handy with crutch-
es." If we but look about us, we
surely see marvellous things to be
thankful for, particularly those of
us who have health and loved ones
about, and plenty. Let us all now
on the eve of this great American
holiday, Count our many blessings
one by one" M.V.S.
