Strange it is that are not many men
falling over each other to get into the
race for the Legislature in this county.
One never hears the subject mentioned
by any of the old party leaders. The
truth is the Democrats are afraid, so are
the Republicans. What a splendid
chance now with both the old parties
waiting for something to turn :up, for
some good. substantial, reliable patriot
to offer for the place. Good chance
there is for a clean man. He can win
with hands down.

employments" to pray to God for His
favor upon an ill-fated people. The
morning was most beautiful one
The skies were clear. The whole day
was spent in fasting and prayer. It
then rained with soft, sweet, mod
crate showers, mixed with seasonable
weather, as it was hard to say
whether our withered corn or droop-
ing affections were most uuickened
and revived, such was ye bounty and
goodness of God" 1t was amid these
rains that Captain Myles Standish
went northward to secure provisions
of the Friendly Indians" Upon his
return he brought a large amount of
provisions. He also reported that
the ship supposed to have been lost
had been sighted. This gave great
JOY to the colonists. Relative to the
same we quote:
Having these many signs OF Gods
favcr and acception, another solemn
day was set apart and appointed,
wherein we returned glory and
honour and praise with thankfulness
to our good God who had dealt so
graciously with us"
Each year the Plymouth colony
held thanksgiving. Passing on, we
notice the arrival of John Winthrop
and his associates, a very religious
people. They, too, held a day of
"publick worship and Thanksgiving.
We find that on February %, 1880,
the first Thanksgiving is proclaimed
in Boston. The winter had been
very cold and a hard one. Many
deaths had taken place, the record
of which is unknown to history. Rev.
Cotton Mather is probably the best
authority of the times. He relates
of one man who had invited his

turned out for the winter. Larsen's
instructions were to reft at the Falk-

Hill in the summer of 1902.
That summer and the next winter
passed and Nordenskjold and his
comrades saw nothing of Larsen or
OF the Antarctic. One day they saw
coming over the ice and rocks two
objects which every one at first as
serted were emperor penguins, but
on coming nearer proved to be Duse
and Anderson, who, landed the year
before by Larsen and cut off by open
water from their proposed journey
overland to Snow Hill, had spent nine
months in a hut built of the stones
which they could collect, and subsist-
ing on the scanty supplies left with
them, but chiefly on the penguins
and seals they had been able to kill.
Men were never more warmly well
coined than these two, wintering un-

Finally, as hope was almost de.
parting, and the summer drawing
fast to a close, one fine day Captain
iIrizar, commander OF the cruiser
dispatched by Argentine, called at
SNOW '1ill and bade Nordenskjold
and his reunited party make ready
to leave for home. The welcome
summons was, of course, willingly
obeyed, but "if Larsen were onlv

Shirley proclaimed two services. In

organized, and divisions came among
the churches, yet both "Tory" and
Rebel" held their annual Thanks

ernor Hutchinson issued his famous
proclamation, which in part said that
he was thankful for "the continuance
of our civil and religious privileges.

adopted, a day was set apart, as re-
solved by Congress, that the people
be thankful for the goodness of God.

narrator speaks as follows:
