Local Thanksgiving Days.

The practice of having local Thanks
giving days has prevailed to some ex-
tent in America. On Oct. 10, 1914, the
a of Baltimore, upon the sugges-
ton of the city pastors, appointed the
following Thursday "to be observed as
a day of thanksgiving to the Adorable
Disposer of all human events on ac-
count of our recent deliverance from
the British fleet and army" That was
for the escape of Baltimore after the
attack on Washington in 1914. A few
months later the newspapers stated
that 'both houses Of the Ohio legisla-
ture on Wednesday, the Sth day of
February, pursuant to a resolution pre-
viously adopted, moved in procession
to the Presbyterian meeting house In
Chillicothe and rendered public thanks
to Almighty God for granting such bril-
liant success 20 our arms at New Or
leans In the recent victories obtained
by General Jackson and his comPRai-
ots." Chillicothe at that time was the
capital Of Ohio.
