THANKSGIVING DAY

From the time Of our early
Puritan ancestors II has been the
custom TO set aside one day Just
before the winter as day of thank
giving It's Importance WAS more
apparent In those days probably
than In these, not but that there
are aa many things for all TO be
thankful for at the present time
hut there we're things that were
more vital Ia those days of siren
uosity for existence.
Our fore fathers were thankful
that they had been spared from the
sayages aud that their homes had
not been burned and their families
separated as was very common 10
those times. They were also thank
ful tina, they had enough TO eat
IA IL was not an uncommon occur
renee for the crops to fail and they
were forced TO live on pretty crude
food for the cold winter months.
To-day things are vastly different
AZ regards our chances OF life ana
the holding together OF our faini'
lies but still We are not unmindfui
of many blessings which have been
vouchsafed us.
We are thankful that we have
been well and that our homes have
moi been ravaged by diseases thai
our children are allowed TO enjoy
blessings that our ancestors never
dreamed OF In the way of ednca'
tlonal advantages, that the price
of living has not increased so much
thai the average workingman can
not provide for hts own that bust
meas has been good and workplenly
that the earth has continued e

The main pur- pose of his Investigation, he declares, is to make possible a betterment of the moral conditions of the county and to make public the names of the ministers who are implicated would only lessen. he declares their power for doing good where they are most needed.
 Among the others brought before Judge Blair, today, was a son who sold his vote to his father for $1O He said he had no other interest in the election and otherwise would not have voted.
