By George W. Hackett, Sec.

The thirty-se cond annual reunion OF
the Hacketts was held at North Free
dom Thanksgiving day in the M. w.
A. hall. The number in attendance
was fully up to the expectation, there
being fifty-three relatives and about a
dozen visitors. The six older brothers
were all present and reasonably well
according to their age. The forenoon
was spent in receptions and greetings
and sumptuous dinner was served at
1:30. No good thing that would ap-
peal to the inner man was left out of
the bill of fare and Of the good things
that remained a multitude could have
been fed. At about 2:30 an impromp-
tn program was rendered which was
well received and displayed much tai
ent in musical and other lines. The
program was opened by singing the
reunion song which has become
favorite, being written expressly for
the purpose some years ago.
This was followed by prayer by
Frank Hackett and a few words of
welcome by u. w. Hackett. A num-
ber of letters received from absent
members were read, showing the in
fluence of such reunions. Toe pro-
gram further consisted of musical
numbers, both vocal and instrumental,
and of recitations aud short speeches.
Those who attended from distance
were Mr.. and Mrs. p. 7. Hackett,

Breakfast was long delayed this
morning, also, but we were ready for
it at last and sitting around on our
suit-cases, we ate it out OF our boxes.
About four O'Clock that afternoon we
left that little steamer it having blown

river as il could. We dlsembArked in

stared with both mouth and eyes as
we filed past, trying to avoid the
worst mud-holes and not TO col ide
with pig or child. Their attention
was riveted upon the white baby
which was the greatest curiosity that
had ever presented Itself to their view.
Comments and EXPLANATIONS were
hurled back and forth from door-W way

of their remarks. "Such a skin"

THANKSGIVING DAY
SERVICES ARE HELD
Rev. c. D. Mayhem De-
livers Address and Urged
All to Be Thankful.

The union Thanksgiving services were
held at the Congregational church en-
Thursday evening, Rev. 9. D. Mayhem
of the Baptist church givingsthe adj
dress. The invocation was.given by Rev.
e. P. Hall of the First M. e. church,
the Thanksgiving proclamations, were
read by Rev. E. 0. Cooptz OF the
A. G, church, prayer was made by
Rev. E. G. Henke OF the Presbyterian
church, the scripture reading was by
Rev. Garfield, and the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. Irish. There
were number of musical selections In
Guiding solo by g. w. Brunschwei-
ler. Many were present and it was an
enjoyable service. Rev. Mayhem
spoke in part as follows:
II you live in Grumbler's Alley you
had better move over on Thanks
giving avenue, it won't.cost any more
and you will be happy. There are no
grumblels in heaven and there Is
nothing else in hell. Your attitude in
the matter of thankfulness has much
to do in determining whether your
home is a heaven or hell. This is one
national holiday with a purely reli-
gious significance. We are the only
nation to recognize Divine providence
in this manner.
We are in constant danger of for
getting our benefits in the pursuit OF
pleasure or the worry OF business life.
The material things of the world
crowd God out of the life. Compar-
log ourselves with those who appear
to be more fortunate we miss the
bright spots in our own existence.
This is turn leads to see the working
of an all-wise being in shaping our
destinies.
We should constantly remember
with words of appreciation our hu-
man benefsctors. Our constant in
debtedness 50 the members of our
own families sheuId be expressed in
words of appreciation. Banks of
flowers upon the Sasket OF our de-
ceased friend are beautiful and proper;
but their loveIiness cannot be enhanced
If preceded by words of thankfuIness
and praise during life. We should
not be satisfied to be thankful just one
day in the year, but should make it
constant practice.

Cheapest by Parcel Post.

AT this place we engaged passage on
8 mail canoe. You will remember
that we came down this river on a
mail canoe more than year ago. But
an outgoing mail is an entirely diff
ferent thing from an incoming one.
All articles that are under four
pounds in weight and all that can be
taken into parts las almost the whole
of saw mills and -four mills) are sent
into the country as parcel post to
avoid freight charges. Once In
the country, the government has
to stand the expense of the
transportation when things come
as parcel post. In addition TO this,
there are thousands of pounds Of
papers and magazines from France
and Spain to say nothing of those
from New York and Berlin. In con-
trast, the outgoing mails carry prac-
tically no parcel post and no papers.
The result is that while two or three
mules are all that are needed to carry
out a mail they 60 accompanied by
from thirty to forty animals, all of
which will be required to bring back
the incoming sacks. We went cut in
a tiny canoe, dug out of single log,
and on that occasion there were but a
half-dozen sacks of mail. We came
up the river in a big freight canoe
with ninty-two sacks of mail; some of
them very large and heavy. The small
canoe was poled by three men with
one steersman; the larger canoe had
eight polemen and two steersmen.
And while we went down the Lebrija
in three days, we were six in corning
up the stream. That was making good
time, too, thanks to the rainy season
and high water.
I described the two classes of canoes
a year ago in letter written for the
News. This was a canoe of the second
class-a long, fat boat with deep holds
for the slowing of freight. The pole
men work their poles along the sides,
inserting them into the banks of the
stream or into the bed of the river in
shallow water, and run along the top
of the boat from end to end, thus Civ
ing it impetus forward. They kept
up the constant "Huh, huh, huh,
huh," in long drawn out cadences
that is at once so musical and so tire.

Food Problem Serious.

Our banana leaf roof was sufficiently
high to allow US to stand upright
under it, and the space allotted US,
large enough to permit of our moving
about some, although our constant
fight with the mosquitoes left us little
energy for any other activity.
The question of food, became, as
usual, serious one. These polemen
could not attempt to prepare their
food on the canoe, there was no room
for kettle to be hung. Each night
when we were securely tied up in
some inlet filled with rushes, always
where the mosquitoes were certain to
be thickest-They built fire on the
river bank and cooked a great kettle
of food. This was ready to be eaten
about ten o'clock at night, and If the
men ate anything more in the next
twenty-four hours, it was something
left from this meal. Not being &C.
customed to taking food at ten al
night we made no attempt to utilize
their fire, other than to boil kettle
of water for drinking purposes. One
night we did make some hot coffee
but it destroyed our sleep for that
night so we did not .-repsat that per-
formance. All the food we had all
fhoSa dous uoc ooId
About the third day our bread was
moldy and our platino spoiled, so we
were reuuced to canned meat and
crackers. I Immediately commenced
to fast, which was the best thing that
could possibly have done under the
circumstances, as it turned out. But
Mr.. Williams, feeling that he ought to
keep up his strength on our account
ate as heartily as he could. The sixth
day he was frightfully Ill and fol
twenty hours was in serious condi.
tLon. Of course we are our own
ply sicians on a trip like this. so We
travel provided to meet every emer
gency. All we lack is the ability to
diagnose our sickness, but frequently
as in this case, even that becomes
easy.
