BERLIN

Berlin, Nov. 29.-WeIl, tomorrow is
Thanksgiving day and I've heard so
much about the Thanksgiving dinner

We are sorry to report that Mrs. A.
L. Prisoc is the victim Of rheumatism,

Pillaus seem to be the order Of the
day. Mr.. J. L. B. Hudgens gave one
lest Wednesday night and there was a
large crowd in attendance Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Smith also gave a pillau
last Friday night which was well at
tended and all had a pleasant time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith proved themselves
charming entertainers.
A jolly crowd was going from the
pillau Friday night and the buggy
broke, the two young ladies being
thrown out and were run over by the
buggy. One of the young ladies was
so excited she could not tell whether
the wheel ran across or lengthwise of
her.

J. McCully last week.

Snakes throw Of their outer skin
once a year. Human beings change
their skin perhaps nine times in year;
that Is, they have a new skin about once
In six weeks.

illness Is a part of health. You cam
not be healthy unless you are clean
not only externally, but also inter-
nally.
The blood should also be assisted
occasionally, like the skin, in throw
ing off poisons SO that the system may
not get clogged and leave a weak spot
for disease germs to enter. When the
blood is clogged We suffer from what IL
commonly called cold.

weak, rundown, debilitated condition
which SO many people experience is
commonly the effect of impure blood.
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

One of the few faults we find with
the Times Union is that once in awhile
it tries to give the impression that
something people of today are indig-
nant about is not so bad because
something worse was done fifty years
ago. Most of US who were alive fifty
years ago are dead now, and the rest
Of US soon will be. 1t isn't going to
ease the neuralgia of the man of 1916
to tell him his daddy had the tooth
ache in 1866.

Says the Times-U Union "Short

corded by all who have visited Ocala

and the attendance has been excellent.

Anybody who is a chronic reader of
Dixie can't help receiving the impress
sion that it considers the Times
Union responsible for nearly all the
evils flesh is heir to. About the only
thing it hasn't blamed on the T.-U. is
the election of Cats.

The dispatch in Fridays newspap-
ers that j. P. Morgan & Co. had re-
ceived instructions from abroad not to
sell French and British securities in
the United States probably meant
that J. P. Morgan & Co.. had figured
out that it would be difficult to sell
said securities.

The surprising fact is noted by the
saloon men that there is more liquor
sold in the United States than there
was forty years ago. Another sur
prising fact, that there are more than
twice as many people in the country
as there were forty years ago, is not
alluded to by them.

After looking over the recent fair,
our most conservative estimate is that
it is worth million dollars to Mar
ion county. Every citizen of the
county should resolve during the next
twelve months to do all in his power
to help the faithful few who have done
the work and helped bridge the gaps
in the expense account.

feast. But, my friends, we must not forget that eternal vigilance is the price of human liberty.
 "A democratic government is the most difficult government in the world to operate successfully. Indeed a democracy is more than a govern ment-it is a process of national self education. We hear a great deal about efficiency nowadays. It would be perfectly easy to make America efficient. This could readily be ac- complished if we were prepared to dismiss the Congress, suppress the newspapers, close up the channels of public instruction and put the control of the government in the hands of one strong man. If the bound1ess energies of O,00O,000 people could thus be directed to a single purpose and our people could be induced to refrain from revolution, we would have the most efficient government in the world. But it would cease to be democracy. It would cease to be the inspiring thing which takes hold of the imagination of men. The flag that represents so much to us by way of sacrifice and toll and service would lose its beauty and it's glory if it could no longer float over free men with hearts so devoted to it that in periods of great national stress and peril they cannot contemplate it without tears. There is something in the flag of a free country that is inspiring to all men who love humanity and believe in the capacity of men to continue the march of democratic progress. There areSwonderful things going on in the world today. We are living in the most interesting and stimulat- ing period of history. By some stroke of fate which it is not our place now to analyze or question, practically the entire civilized world is being made a sacrifice to the failure of European diplomacy Thus far we have kept clear to these entanglements We must persist in so doing to the end.
 America is the only great country of the world that is free from the scourge of war. We are in a position, when this black dream of war has passed to lift up the fallen hopes of humanity. America, as the only great disentangled nation of the world, is in a certain sense the trustee of the mor- al judgments of humanity. It is our M1SSlOn anu u udS USSI OuA AAOPO SO bind up the wounds of war and to re- create and vitalize the ties or frater- nity that ought to unite all nations and ought to bind together the hearts of all human beings everywhere. Such is the destiny of our splendid and free country. We must not in the con- fusion and perplexities of the moment lose our vision of what America means to the world. We must lose our hold on the high things that have made America great, that have distinguish ed 1t from all other nations that have ever before existed. We thus have at once an inspiration to move us and a service to perform. It is a difficult task but it is a task which all true sons of the country will gladly under take. In this hour let us give our hearts to our country more fully than we have ever done before"

AMERICKS DUTY NOW TO SUCC0R FALLEN HOPES OF HUMANITY, SAYS CUMMINGS, IN COLUMBUS GRAFTON

after time passes and the dreams are
 realized and the visions become a verity does humanity hasten to pay reverence and respect to their mem
 ories. There would never have been any progress in the world if 1t had
 not been for the dreamers of the
 world. One of the persistent perils of the present is that we shall fail to recognize the men who have the true vision. As we glance back over the pages of history we find many sorry chapters which describe the unhappy fate which too frequently falls to the
 lot of the reformer who has not been able to satisfy the people of his own age that he was their true servant and friend. History tells us that to Socrates they gave the hemlock, Grac- chus was killed with sticks and stones, the Maid of Orleans, they burned at the stake, Robert Emmett they killed under color of law. Lincoln was assas- sinated and One, greatest and purest of all, they crucified. Of course there are irresponsible individuals with vain imaginings who are of no service either to their contemporaries or to the future. But every now and then there arises in every generation some
 man who sees truly beyond the age in
 which he lives.
 christopher Columbus was a dreamer, and by many of his fellows was regarded as little short of a mad man. And yet probably he dreamed the greatest dream that any human ever dreamed andrwonderful to re- late-it came to pass. When Colum- bus sailed across the uncharted seas, he sailed across the centuries as well. Waiting for the great discoverer on the far rim of the world was a new land, which in process of time we.s destined to be the hope of the human race. Columbus and Columbia- what name and what nation!
 At such a gathering as this we can pay our respects not only to the mem- ory of a great man. but we can renew our faith in America and her institu- tions. America Is a great and won derful country. We have a right to rejoice. America is prosperous. America is at work America is at peace. It is written in the stars that we shall go on from triumph to triumph. What has been accomplish ed in this country in the way of es- tablishing a free government has not been accomplished without the sacri- fees of ;L multitude of patriots. The blood of free men through all history has sealed with it's sacrifice tho conn pacts of liberty and America as 1t exL rights of man. Robert Burns said: ists today is a vindication of the Liberty's a glorious feast.' We, here in America, are partakers of this

 a Following is the address of MT! Cumings delivered at Southington:
 There is something peculiarly sig nificant about these gatherings which we so frequently hold in America, where the interest centers about some great historical character. I some times think that in the convivliality of such occasions we fail fully to catch the real inspiration of the moent. All great historical characters whose ac- complishments have made humanity grateful that they lived were almost without exception regarded in their own time and generation as visionar- les. All men who have the power to project themselves prophetically into the future are dreamers They dream dreams and they see visions and only

SURVIVORS OF SCOTTS
 ARMY TO CELEBRATE

New York, Oct. 13.-Surviving off, cers of the army of General Winfield Scott which coupled the city of Mex ico, will have a reunion and banquet tonight in celebration of the sixty ninth anniversary of the organization in the Mexican capital on October 13, 1s47, of the Aztec club of 1S47 of which they are members. The club numbers about 200 but is composed now mainly of relatives of officers of the army, navy or marine corps who served in Mexico in that campaign.
