Thanksgiving DaY

InhhhSeliuS Ddg
Thanksgiving Day originated in
New England in the year 1921 after
the first harvest, and was observed
during the Revolution. The Procla-
nation issued by the President of the
United States, George Washington,
in the year 1889 is one we'll worth
reading-it shows how we'll the
Father of His Country felt, how
humble he was when approaching
the Divine Being and thanking Him
for the favors which the people of
the country had received.
President Lincoln in the year 1868
when the Civil War was devastating
the country did not forget to desig-
nate a day of anksgiving-the last
Thursday in November, which GUS
tom has been continued by the diff
ferent Presidents of the u. S. and
Governors of the different states un-
til this day. When November 30th,
1888, rolls around let us not forget
to assemble ourselves in the
churches of our choice and thank the
Ruler of the universe for the many
blessings we enjoy. We, as a people
have been hard hit, depression has
left its mark, but it could have been
much worse. The people of Ellen
dale have been fortunate, while other
sections have felt the woes of de-
preston more keenly-the people of
this town and vicinity have not suf-
fered for something to eat and
wear. Let us give thanks.
Selling Liquor on Sunday
One of the Representatives has
introduced bill in the Delaware
Legislature to allow the sale of in
tOxicating liquor on Sunday. 1t is
said the Governor was shocked, and
we should think that all other right
thinking people of the state would
be shocked to think that one of the
Representatives should offer a bill
of that nature. Surely the Sabbath
is being violated enough as it is,
without the sale of liquor. Perhaps
the gentleman is ashamed of him
self, and will withdraw the bill.
Red Cross
Every one who is able should con-
tribute literally for the support of
the Red Cross.
This great charitable organization,
the greatest in the world, should not |
be permitted to suffer for want of
funds which would enable it to carry |
to suffering humanity of every part |
of the earth its help in the time of
need.
The soldiers who belong to the |
American Legion and others who |
have seen service in the World War ,
should ever be grateful to those !
"angels of mercy" who were ever
present to help whether in the hos
pitfalls or on the battlefield. People |
of Ellendale, help the Red Cross.
