ALL SAINTS DAY.
wise.

Services were held in the various churches
on All Saints Day, and beautiful flowers
decorated the graves in the cemetery, which
had been thoroughly cleaned Of weeds and
high grass preparatory for the day. Some
of the most beautiful chrysanthemums that
have been seen for years were distributed
on the graves. While some of these came
from New Orleans, none were more hand
some than those grown here, and many
passengers on the New Orleans train Satur-
day afternoon took flowers from here to
that city.
Chrysanthemurns raised here sold as high
as $2.25 per dozen, while the same flowers
brought $500 per dozen in New Orleans,
extra fine ones selling for so cents apiece.
There is no reason why these flowers
should not be had in abundance by those
who desire to decorate the graves of loved
ones. They are easily grown, and everyone
who has small garden spot could raise
them. Yet every succeeding year brings
forth the same remark: Next year will not
catch me III this fix, for | shall plant Chry-
santhemums for my own use.

THANKSGIVING.

President Roosevelt has proclaimed Thurs
day, November rs, a day for prayer and
thanksgiving.
It has been ong-continued custom to set
aside the last Thursday in November as a
day of thanksgiving to God for his many
blessings. 1t is national day and should
be observed by all in a true spirit OF thank
fulness and not as simple feast day.
After reciting the prosperity OF our nation
since the day of independence, the President
says:
ssFor the very reason that in material
well-being we have thus abounded, we owe
It to the Almighty to show equal progress IN
moral and spiritual things. With nation,

fion. material well-being is an indispensable
foundation, but the foundation aVallss moth

than wasted, which is spent IN plllng heap

merely to the pleasure of the body and to
tha mower that rests only on wealth. Upon
material well-being as foundation must be
,.o;snd the structure of a lofty life OF the
sniTit if this nation is properly to fulfill It's
s-r.oof mission and to accomplish all that we
Fl ordanfIv hope and desire. The things OF
fhe body are good; the things OF the intel,
ioct better: but best of all are the things OF

DON'T SPIT ON THE SIDEWALK

with the establishment of its BOARD If
Health and the passage of ordinances for
ene town from diseases spread by germs,
ooVlngton places herself in line with other
progressive towns; but it must be remem-
oered that the passage of these ordinances
are OF little benefit if they are not enforced.
4nese steps were taken on the advice Of
the Board, which has among it's members
hleolcal men Of high standing and inteli-
gence, who in advising these measures are
actlng IN accordance with established rules
1ound necessary in checking the spread Of
OF disease and safeguarding the health of
tfllckly settled communities. The exercise
OF a little care on the part of the citizen is a
trivial consideration for the protection Of
Tered to himself and his family. The I'M
thinking traveller in the street who expecto-
rates on the sidewalk may do so without any
intention of committing wrong, and it may
seem to him that his offence is too trivial to
merit punishment; but if one goes unpun-
lshed then others will feel that they are
equally entitled to immunity. We believe
the ordinance should be strictly enforced,

fine had been left discretionary with the
Court, not to exceed $25.
Gradually people will become accustomed
to the new order Of things and compliance
with the law will become habit Willful
violators can then be given the extreme
penalty with the feeling that the punishment
is deserved. While those ignorant of the
danger may scott at these precautionary
measures, it will be noticed that the majority
are heartily in accord with the effort to
do away with all hurtful and unsanitary
practices, and it is with the aid of this ele-
ment that the Board expects to accomplish
much for the town.
If no other good results than cleanliness,
the great relief it will afford to women to
know that their skirts are not in danger of
catching up the filth will more than repay
for the inconvenience of observing the law.
Therefore we ask all, both we'll and sick, not
to expectoraie on sidewalks nor the floors OF
public buildings.
