Thanksgiving Day,
The last Thursday in November I
set apart by this great country of on:
(these grand and glorious Unite
States) for "Thanksgiving Day."
The first record of Thanksgiving
which is truly an American custon
was in 1621, the year after the land,
ing of the Pilgrims, for mos boun
tiful crops. This is a religious fee
tival, peculiar to this country and r(
sembles the Hebrew feast of ingath
ering. These days were appointe,
after this at different times and fii
various objects. Congress recom.
mended a Thanksgiving Day yearl
through the Revolutionary wai
Later on, these days were named bN
cause of other causes of momen
During the Civil war proclamatio
for publie thanksgiving were issue
in 1862, 1863 and 1864, and silt
that time the day has been regular]
appointed by the president of tb
United States. It is usually observ
ed the last day in November.
It is a day set apart, specificall
for every man, women and child i
humbly bo, their heads in prayer 1
our Maker for the multitude of bles
ings which He has seen fit to i
bountifully bestow upon each ar
every one of us, not only as an ind
vidual, but also upon us as the cot
ponent part of the greatest nation
the earth. And although sinful a,
wicked we may have been all b
lives, He has been exceedingly go,
to us-the sinner as well as the saii
He has caused the rain to fall on t
just and the unjust alike, and wi
all the blessings He has vouchqaf
us, how far short of our duty to o
Maker have we fallen!
A great many people misc:nstr
the object and purposes of 'hanki
giving day, There are some wi.
with gun and dog, take to the fiel
to slicot the unsuspecting quail
dove; many others for any kind
sport, fun or frolic, amusement
any .kind or nature-anything b
the r:eal purpose for which this d
was intende~d. Some. few have a d
ferent view, and these will remain
home and talk, and 'discuss the
neiglpbors-their faults and habits
and not for a moment will they spe
of the good traits of these neighbo,
but gossiping tattling will be the ri
ing enjoyment of~the day. Then the
is a class, who WehA know the obje
and purpose of Thanksgiving da
and this class, though small, ye
very email, will respect- this day r
upend it as it should be spent.
few of: these good people will meet:
their respective sanctuaries and thei
lift up their voices in prayer to the
Master for the many blessings as
comforts showered upon them an
theirs. This class of people are fe
and far between, yet the good Lor
will hear and answer their prayers..
My dear young man, stop and r<
fleet 'ore you desecrate this great an
good day. Colkbrate it as it shoul
be and as it was intended to be, a da
of prayer and than~ksgiving to thi
"Giver of all good gifts" for Hi
goodness and kindness to us all-fo
the matny blessings and tender mner
cies vouchsafed us. Do not desecrat
this good day in the wicked and sin
ful way that you have been doing il
the p~ast, but hold this Thainksgivinj
as a holy day.

Last Mcnday a notice was sent to
- the representative business men and
public spirited citifedls of the town
of Pickens- ror a me~ting to he held
that afternoon in' Solicitor J. E.
Boggs'oficle, looking to pulling off a
- fair at the time of the poultry show
E. H. Craig was elected abairman and
J. N. Hallum secretary.. A commit
tee on finance consibting of A. M.
Morris and J. R. Ashmore was ap.
i pointed. W. E Fondley, W. J. Bolt,
J. L. 0. Thompson and E. H. Craig,
ex-officio, were appointed as executive
committee. J. McD. Bruce, J. E.
Boggs, J. N. Hallum and J. L. 0.
Thompson, were appointed a com
mittee on publicity and advertising.
Something like $50 00 was raised
in the meeting by the finance com
mitte, and they aie meeting with
great success canvassing. This mon
ey will be used to make the poultry
show a success and to further add to
the attractiveness of the exhibition.
. Other features will be added such as
fancy needlework, cookery, fruits,
brops and stock and a very creditable
premium list will be gotten up. Full
er details will be given next week,
r when J. E. Bogg chairman of the
publicity committe gets back home
and writes it up
Did you know that, after all, there
is a great deal in "talk"? Well, there
is, and it acts for weal or woe, on the
individual, the church, th4 communi
ty and town, just in the proportion in
e which it is used. For instance: Let
a man talk dull times and it becomes
infectious. everybody talks dull time.
Instead of rustling around to take
care of what business there is, they
all go sit down and mope over dull
times. If a customer does happen to
'o drop into one of these "dull times"
storeP he actually gets frighten( d out
30 of on(-hulf as much as be ibk-*de1- to
buy, because things look fo blue, He
catches the spirit of the stok-_r.ii.d re
solves to hang on to all his money
n with a death grip. Likewise the
d merchant bemoans the fate in store
ar for him if "trade does not open up"
>d a d he freezes on to his money even
if his business goes to pieces on ac
be count of running short of goods to
th fill up the empty shelves. Such fel.
3 la ws ought to be looked up. The
ur bug-hear of bard times shoulel be sat
down upon. It is doing more to kill
ue business than anything else. Tell a
man he sick, keep it up, aud you will
- ventually' honnd him to death.
or Did you eve.r analiz3 and diagram
of the word "kicker?" Do you realiz
of fully its meaning and what one ol
I4t them things in a town leads to? The
sy kickers on the farm are not so hard
if- to get along with as the kickers in
at town. On the farm there is the kick.

ct but nothing but a funeral will get rid
