THANKSGIVING AT THE JAIL
TO the Editor Ocala Banner:

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
History informs US that many years
ago the Honorable William Bradford
set apart a special day to be known
and observed as Thanksgiving day,
and ever since the good people of the
new world have so observed it as a
day Of thanksgiving to the Lord for
his kindness in the past and looking
to Him as the Father of all Good,
and as we are a part of this new
world we must take part in the
Thanksgiving and raise a song of
praise and say a word Of prayer.
The prisoners, remembering this,
decided to keep the day as best they
could, being confined in Jail, but they
offered their thanks in songs and
prayer for the most of the day, and
all seemed to enjoy it very much.
But they enjoyed equally well the
nice dinner which was given them
by Sheriff Galloway, and they take
this as an opportunity to thank him,
also to thank the colored Presbyter-
ian church for the nice oranges, ap-
pies and sugar cane, which they so
generously gave to make them happy.
Presbyterians are good people, and
l will join the prisoners in giving
thanks to them for the afternoon SER
vices, religious papers, song books
and Bibles given them for their COM
fort. We don't only thank the Pres
byterians, but all who have aided in
the religious work. And I do think
that every prisoner has been benefit
ed. 1t is a glorious thing to save a
soul from death. JATT,ER
