A realty sale of considerable impor-
lance was consumated today when the
Conlbear property on Lake Hollings-
worth was sold to Mr.. l.. C. Gainev,
OF Cincinnati, the price paid being in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The sale

her son Joined the colors, it was too
much for her to look after. The fine
orange grove bordering Lake Hol-
lingsworth and the lovely home on the
top of the hill make of this real show
place, and one which the new owner
will doubtless derive much pleasure
and profit from Mr.. Gainey is sec
rotary and treasurer of the Storrs-
Schafer Co., a leading gents cloth
ling establishment of Cincinnati. and,
although he is having to return home
fer time, he is leaving his wife and
daughter-in-law, Mrs N. L. Gainey
here, and they will occupy their new
home within the next few days
Mrs. Conibear and daughters will
move to town as soon as they can Sc
cure a suitable house, and will remain

pleasing news to their many friends,
who trust that this splendid family
will find it possible to continue to
make this their permanent home,

NEW LITHUNIAN NATION
ASSURED OF EXISTENCE

A new and independent Lithuanian
nation will soon assume it's position
among the nations of Europe, rising
up out of the wreck of a suDjugated
and oppressed state. When the Lii
thunian diet, permitted to reassemble
by the Germans, pronounced itself
unanimously in favor of an independ-
ent Lithunia, it put into words the.
hope of every true Lithunian.
One of the new departments of the
future Lithunian state, which will be
virtually the center of the coming in
dependent government, was establish
ed at this meeting of the diet. 1t is.
known as the estate counciP' or "tary-
ba." This state council has under it's
control such important matters as
public education, religion, finance,
commerce and industry, justice, police,
etc. Since the time of it's formation
it has been ratified independently and
on neutral ground by Lithunian or
ganizations in Russia, America, Swe-
den, and Switzerland.

RF1 nth the growth of the nation
As,5kytks there has been correspond
ing growth in responsibility.
The raw experiment of a
q nation framed from the skel-
S-SRND eton colonies of the eastern
seaboard has proved the greatest sue
cess in government the world has ever
known. Democracy sits at the tables
of the land today. Brotherhood asks
its helping from the amply filled
boards of the American home. These
two attributes Of the American people
fully express the secret of Americas
success as a nation. The growth Of
the nation has been in accord with the
extension of these ideas. They are
both home ideas, and therefore they
are both ideas that express the inner
spirit of the day of thanksgiving.
The fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man-these were the
leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. They are the leading concep-
tions of the sons of those fathers to-
day. They are the conceptions that
can never be made hackneyed by hypo-
critical use or by designing abuse.
They will stand forth in the genius
and action Of the American people un-
til each year shall add praise to praise
in the measure of the fullness of rea-
sons for the giving of thanks.
Peace, provision, protectiOn-theSe
are the priced possessions of a ma
tion whose one aim is to eXalt the
ends of human liberty, to extend hui
man democracy and to exalt the ideals
of human equality. AS this nation
touches the world at large it does so
through its leading national concep-
tons, and only when these are vitality
assailed can it take up arms for it's
own defense. It has the obligation
resting upon it to conserve the true
needs of liberty, and this can be done
only by insisting upon the sacredness
of human rights and human opportu-
mites. Hence the day set aside for
thanks is a day of pure and unadul-
terated Americanism into which no
alien sentiment can possibly enter.
Hence it is that every head of the
family in acting in his capacity at
the head of the family board becomes
the priest of the things made precious
in the life of the country and of which
mention is made as thanksgiving
The evening leader., 1918-11-26
This Year the Spirit of Thanks
giving Should Properly Be
Filled With Praise.

EElHO that views the universe
ksskWk in it's orderly movements
and sees the mind Of the AL
mighty in the fixed blessings
q of existence can doubt that
l-SA1 out from the cataclySmS OF
the world war the choice of blessing
or cursing will work out in the victory
of the good? The old cry, Hath God
forgotten to be gracious?' needs no
longer be voiced. God has not forgot
ten to be gracious. So that, as the
Americans assemble in their churches
on the day set apart for expressing ma
tional gratitude, they will rejoice
above all else that the nation Of free
men has adopted as its motto: Whom
the Lord makes free is free indeed"
Let them rejoice that America is bent
upon proclaiming liberty to the entire
bounds of the earth. The curse of au-
tocracy, the curse of a blasphemous
assumption that God is on the side of
the strongest battalions, the curse of
debauchery of human ideals and hu-
man aspirations, the curse of the es-
tablishment of force in the place of
purity: of power in the place of peace
this is the cursing that is being
wiped out in blood. The blessing of
world peace and the prevalence of the
spirit of brotherhood and of mutual
advancement for the peoples-such is
the peace that is being wrought out.
The United States has placed its all
on the altar, realizing that sacrifice
Is the noblest virtue of a nation.
Hence, while exuberance may not
abound, the spirit of thanksgiving is
filed with praise over the mighty
manner in which the mind of the Al
mighty is being made clear in the
movements of the times; with the
United States playing leading part
in its impressive unfolding,
