dreds of local church people wended
their ways to the First Presbyterian
and the Palatine Baptist churches
this morning to attend the union
5 Thanksgiving and praise services,
(which had been announced to take
place at these houses Of worship.
People OF the United States have
much to be thankful for at this sea
& son OF the year in view of the fact
\ that almost all the great nations OF
the earth are at the present moment
at war and death and destruction
Il stalks throughout war ridden Europe,
while the United States is at peace
with all nationt,
While prosperity is not apparent to
any great extent in this locality owing
!, to the depression in business through
out the United States, which has al
fected to no little extent the business
and prosperity OF this section, yet To-
I cally Fairmont has much to be CRATE
ftil and thankful for. The more fav.
! sored must take UP the task of caring
for those less fortunate who are
thrown on the charity of the world
through scarcity of labor.
This work will be looked out for
J BY the Associated Charities and the
people possessed OF worldly goods
must help his less fortunate brother
during the months OF the winter rap
! idly approaching, when want VIII be
Il more apparent than during the sum-
mer2 and fall.

both services, the proceeds Of which
willt be turned over to the Anti-Tu'
sberculosis League for use In their
work Of caring for those afflicted with
theagreat white pague. or those liable
