THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving services were held last
Sunday at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, Rev. J E Stuart delivering the
sermon of the occasion. A large au-
dience assembled al the church, and a
special musical program was rendered.
After the devotions business meeting
was held and election of officers. w.
G. Reynolds was elected president Of the
United Charities and Lea Garth, secre-
tary-treasurer. A collection Of S160
was taken up, which may be increased
with donations from those who were not
present. Subscriptions to the fund may
be made at any time, Several hundred
dollars will be needed during the winter
to take care of those needing food, cloth
ing and medicines. The work Of the
United Charities is a necessity and citi
zens should not forget that while some
are enjoying good homes and prosperity
others are not so fortunate, and that a
community which takes care of its poor
is always a desirable one, place where
good people and where strangers are
anxious to find a home.
