the United States, and it is fitting that
it is so, coming as it does at the end
of the autumnal season when the album
dant harvest is gathered and stored
in the barns and all nature assumes
that beautiful aspect of cheerfulness,
while the surrounding fields contain
the only remaining traces of the re-
cent cleaning, which presents shock
after shoch of corr, with here and there
heaps of golden-hued pumpkins ready to
bemade into delicious pies that is no
doubt favorite pastry of many of the
readers of The Republican, especially
the good housewife whose delight it is
to retain last remnant of the good
old-fashioned Thanksgiving of yester-
years, and whose festive dinner would
have indeed appeared sad and wanton
had the pumpkin pies been omitted
from the menu.
1t is perfectly right that this day
should be one of great rejoicing and
naturally enough elaborate banquets
be prepared with that genuiness of
peace on earth to men of, good will"
pervading our atmosphere. But first
and foremost every man, woman and
child should consider it their duty to
be present at one service at least held
in their respective churches today for
the purpose of returning thanks to the
Divine Ruler of the universe for the
many favors and blessings that He
has so copiously showered upon all of
His children.
Pause for moment and contem-
plate the numerous blessings you have
received during the past twelve
months, and to whom are you indebt-
ed, and l feel sure that every pew in
every church in Garrett county will
be filled to overlooking with grateful
worshippers, and then if out of the
abundance of your fortune you desire
to show in some manner your appreci-
alton for the gifts which God has Law
ished upon you, you can do so very
nicely by contributing at least one
dollar to the Jewish Relief Campaign
fund. Such deed would express in
act what would be incapable of pro-
nouncing audibly. Dear people, think
of it! Eight hundred thousand chill
dren frantic with hunger-deprived of
food for days and days, pleading for
your sympathy as only little children
can. This is the exact situation in
Eastern Europe today. Remember, re-
ligious utilization must not count-the
CHILDREN ARE STARVING-WE
ARE HUMAN-WE MUST HELP
AND TODAY!
Snow fell to depth of several
inches on Monday morning of this
week and it-looks very favorable that
the weather will be in keeping with
the occasion-Thanksgiving.
Mrs. John F. Pendergast spent last
Saturday visiting and shopping in the
county seat.
DR.. John D. Darby, of Oakland, was
Hutton visitor recently.
Sheriff George D. White, of Oak
land, passed through Hutton on last
Saturday en- route to Terra Alta.
Mr.. Albert T. Moon. whose farm
is located about two and a-half miles
north of Hutton, sold his place a few
days ago to Mr.. White, from near
Oakland, and on Saturday, December
9th, Mr.. Moon will dispose of his per-
sonal property at auction. He was
unfortunate short time ago when
his barn and its contents were burned.
Miss Marshall, of Oakland, who is
the county grade supervisor, visited
the Hutton school recently.
Mr.. Edward H. Pendergast, of Pied
mont, West Va, spent Wednesday
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
w. Pendergast, of this place.
The golden sun streams down
In rays of beauteous hue,
Like a heavenly benedicticn
That, the Father sendeth you.
