something real and raw and human
a terrible struggle, but they played
all their chips and won big. What
must have been their feeling when
once the good old terra firma, or Ply
mouth rock, rested beneath their con-
gress CATERS, or had better say
their Parliamentary boots. Anyhow,
when we get the alcoholic blues and
feel sorta brown in the mouth just
remember the Pilgrim Fathers and
what their trials were compared to
ours. OF course you will havs to
mention that they did not have to
pay rent or butcher bills, but we will
allow that they didn't for the sake Of

them overeat. Anyhow we can form
a sort Of good picture in our minds's
eye Of how the old boys fixed their

the Indians. Anyway we are wishing
you all q bounteous Thanksgiving and
hoping that you will all use good
judgment, otherwise you may have

you all good advice we viii pass on
to other topics which has come to
pass since our sojourn among the
wilda.
Next Friday evening, the 25th, will
be the date for the first meeting Of
The Lincoln Literary and Debating
Society. We do not contemplate more
than just lining up for the ensuing
and have not as yet placed an
elaborate program. This first meet
ing will be very important, AZ cleo
ion of officers will take place, sell
ection of suitable timber for pre-
gram committees etc. ETC. However,
we aim to have q small program
which will upon this one occasion
have to be made up among the aud
ence. So come prepared to give a
little 5 minute talk or recitation, any
thing to help out. Later when the
program committees get in their good
work and competition established be-
tween the different ones chosen to
select entertainments for us all, we
an hope for some very gratifying re-
uits. Remember the date and DC
