There have been persistent rumors

to the effect, that there are the finest
| indications ever in this immediate
section of oil. 1t transpired that
those who made the discovery were
endeavoring to keep it subrosa till all
the options on desirable lands could
be secured. 1t seems that this has
been done.
The prospective oil field is located
in the basin of Petit Bayou, about op.
posite Olivier station, between the
Teche and Grand Lake.
Yesterday surveyors were on the
tract to locate the point where the
first well should be started
Two of the great refining companies
so it is said, have been interested IN

The entire peninsular between the

DATES FROM 1866.
National Thanksgiving Day
Is Comparatively New in
Country's History.

1t Is Jnst 81 years since the last
Thursday in November was adopt
ed by the president of the United
States as the day set apart from
all others of the year to be OBJ
served by the people of the nation
as Thanksgiving day. 1t was the
first Thanksgiving celebrated after
the close of the Civil war, and the
proclamation by President John
son a few weeks prior, appointing
such date, was issued because it
was a generally understood fact
that Lincoln had planned, during
the dark days at the end of the
struggle, to have some one day IN
November reserved yearly by all
states in the Union.
Throughout the war the celebra
ton had occurred only here and
there in scattered communities.
And always before, in the various
states which did celebrate the
day, it was purely sectional af
fair, for which the governor issued
a proclamation upon his own mi
tiative. November, 1865, witness
ed the beginning of the holiday as
national institution. Since that
date the governor of all states
and territories, upon receiving the
presidents proclamation, publish
their own, naming the day in
formal fashion. 1t is an Ameri
eau festival day, unique in more
than one respect, but most per
haps because it Is the only religi
Gus festival celebrated in this
country upon the recommendation
OF the government.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1916-11-18
is AN OLD INSTITUTION

Despite the popular opinion tc
the contrary, Thanksgiving day
as an Institution is not peculiarly
American. For history shows
that all ancient nations used to
celebrate some feast of a thanks
giving nature, while most of the
tribes of our American Indians
had a big gathering aud harvest
feast years before the white men
ever set foot on the shores of the
new world.
BY the Greeks and Romans the
festival days in honor of the god
dess of agriculture were times of
rustic sport, of professions through
the fields and the decor ating of
the home with fruits and flowers.
The people of Egypt enjoyed a
time of feastlng after gathering in
their harvests and laid the fruits
of the year on the altar of the
Goddess Isis.
