Thanksgiving Day passed off very
quietly. No ball or other public enter
tainment 1t was home affair In
stead of any public service at the church
Rev. S. c. Eaton, on the preceding Sab
bath, gave most excellent sermon on
the ancient and modern way of spending
the day. 1t was one of the best histori-
cal addresses that we ever listened to
and held the close attention OF large
audience.
While there are serious problems to
be confronted in the home, state and
nation that threaten the peace of So
ciety, yet there is abundant reason for
thanksgiving for innumerable blessings.
We are at peace as nation and are en-
joying national prosperity, and the pros
pect looks bright for continuance of
these favors.
Forty-six years ago our Thanksgiving
Day was quite different from the pres
emit. Personally with about dozen
boys from Sumner we were out watch
ing for the enemy on the Maryland side
of the Potomac. Our camp stove had
broken down, our supplies were just
then the most meager OF the campaign,
| anu Uu tuc udy VI ludhhoSifiuS III
Maine, while friends at home dined on
turkey and chicken pie, we toasted on
two bareback and dipper of muddy
water. Still, we were better off than
many of our gallant boys in blue. At
any rate, we were out of Libby and An.
Jacksonville and in no present danger Of
battle.
Well, those days of anxiety and doubt
are happily past and We are united
and prosperous nation. The dark days
of '6l-'85 have given way to days Of
peace and plenty and the country now
occupies prestige of power and unity
that no other power cares to assail.
Yes, we have much to be thankful for,
and one of the greatest causes for graft
tude is the loyalty and kindness exhibit
ed by the United States government In
providing for the last years of her loyal
defenders that they may not suffer for
the necessaries of life. The whole ma.
ton ia. day honors those who went forth
to defend our liberties aud such mag
nanimity was never displayed by any
nation towards fallen foe. When the
last mouthful of that turkey and chicken
pie gets past our outlet, let's sing once
more old "America,' aud Gods bene-
diotion will be given when We will all
"eo home"

Neglect or pessimism we believe Is the
greatest enemy the public have to con-
tend with when applied to the loss or
recovery of health. Practically every
case of consumption might have been
cured II hope had been maintained and
proper treatment had been resorted to at
the first symptom of the disease. Until
the advanced stage is reached consump
ton Is durable. Catarrh Is responsible,
we believe, for every case of cOnsump-
ton. It Is about catarrh we want to talk
to you today, incidentally consumption,
since the two are so closely allied.
We have medicine made from tho
prescription of one OF the most success
full catarrh specialists known. This med
icine has a record of 9S per cent. Of
cures, and we believe it is positively
without any equal. We are 80 satisfied
that We are right, that We will supply
the medicine free in every instance
where it Is used according to directions
for reasonable length of time and fails
to cure and give satisfaction 10 every
particular. We want everyone In South
Paris to try this medicine at our risk.
There are no conditions or formality at.
tached to our offer. We put the user
under no obligations to us whatever.
The medicine We want you to try Is
Rexall Mucu.Tone. 1t ia q catarrh rem.
edy that goes direct to the seat OF trou-
BILE. 1t is carried by the blood to every
part OF the system. 1t seeks out and
destroys the germs or parasites which
cause catarrh. 1t purifies and enriches
the blood, tones up the muco.cells,
s0othes and heals the tissues that were
ravaged by the catarrhal parasite, and
brings about condition Of health and
strength that prevents the germs of con-
sumption from ever getting . start. b.
sides this; Rexall Mucu.TOne Ia q won.
derful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh
builder. Its good effects are felt from
the very first dose. 1t IL one of the larg.
est and most satisfactory selling medi-
oInes that we have ever had anything to
do with. We know so much of the, great
good that 1t has done that we personally
back It up with our reputation and
money, which fact should be ample guar.
antee to satisfy anybody.
Rexall Mucu-Tone comes In two sizes,
800. and 100. We urge you to try it.
