THANKSGIVING

The following history OF the
custom of Thanksgiving procla.
nation and observance is peril.
nent to the season:
Thanksgiving days have been
observed in this country as far
back as the harvest festival held
by the Pilgrim Fathers at Ply
mouth, Mass, in September,
1921.
Thanksgiving day proclama-
atoms for special purposes were
occasionally issued by presi-
dents ever since George Wash
ington assigned November 26,
1889, as a day of thanksgiving
for the ending OF. the war and
the suspicious start OF this
country as nation.
But the regular annual obser-
walton OF our popular Thanks
giving day does not go farther
back than the year 1868, a year
Of victories for the northern
armies, and one notable at the
same time for a plentiful har-
vest, when good old Abe Lincoln
invited his fellow citizens to set
apart the last Thursday OF Nov.
ember of that year "as a day OF
thanksgiving and praise"
He appointed the same day
for the same purpose in the year
1864; and the same date (the
last Thursday in November) was
selected by every one OF his sue
cessors up to and including
Roosevelt, except in two single
instances.
The first exception occurred
in 1865, when, it is said, the
precedent established by Lincoln
escaped in some way the atten-
tion OF Andrew Johnson, and it
being late in October when he
was reminded OF it, he appointed
the first Thursday in December.
The second and only Other
occasion was when U. s. Grant
in his proclamation of October
5, 1869, appointed November 10
without assigning a reason for
his d,ing SO; indeed, it may
have been done through mad.
for in the very next
year he reverted to the custom
AIRY "last Thursday (which
then proved to be November
24).
This year, the last Thursday
IN November being the last day
of the month, bankers and
others expressed a wish that, as
. matter OF convenience to them ,
he holiday might be moved
rom the Both to the 23d, but it ,,
vas considered wiser to keep up !
. the established date. "the
asst Thursday in November"

After being for long time III con

10Th MONTHLY vlsl1.

DR. Shallenberger has made regu.
lar month visits to this city for
the past ten years. These numer-
GUS visits prove that he has stood
the test Of time, so that his relia-
bility in every sense Of the word is
anquestionable. z
His practice is like an endless
chain one happily cured patient is
pleased to bring in some suffering
friend. We all like to have our eff
forts appreciated and strive harder
to please. Nearly all his cases are
the most stubborn, chronic kind,
which are all the more interesting to
him, as the greater the fight the
greater the victory, he will explain
your case and honestly advise you,
free of charge whether you are rich
or poor. You may consult him at
