Observance
OF Thanks-
giving Day
Festival Marks History
OF 1872 Years On
This Continent
This Continent

Thursday of this week, Thanks
giving Day, marks the observance Of
a festival by white men of this conti-
nent for 322 years.
Gov. William Bradford, Of Mass
achusetts, started the custom among
his Pilgrim followers in 1921, after
the first harvest of those early settr
lers Then it was service devoted to
prayer
Marylanders first observed Thanks
giving Day in 1898 at the conclusion
of a mysterious plague which had
taken a toll of hundreds of lives in
the southern portion of the state.
The substantial burghers and mer-
chants of Baltimore Town did not
see fit to observe this festival until
1881, when the community was a
great mart of exchange according
to John Thomas Scharf's chronicles
of Baltimore" but still had fifteen
years to go before it's incorporation
as city.
General Washington and his wife
had just passed through the town on
their way to Philadelphia, when the
citizens passed resolution to set
aside December 1 3 /" as day of gem
eral thanksgiving.
On that day the solid inhabitants
dressed in sober coats with great
cuffs with ruffles ait their wrists,
breeches of velvet, plush and buck
skin and buckled shoes, ambled heav-
lily into their dining rooms.
The wives, prettily CARRIED in
gowns of lowered or plain silk, of
damask or calico, trimmed with fine
Mechlin lace, set plentiful repasts
before their husbands. For in those
days the Maryland table was as full
as it is today.
There was venison, goose, turkey
and roasted or boiled wild or tame
fowl From side tables decanters of
Madeira, Holland gin, Jamaica rum,
and cognac were brought to add lus-
ter to the meal.
In the humber dwellings ancient
Maryland punch and persimmon beer
were drunk with meals of mush,
"homine, :" moIasses, wild fowl and
fish.
