liKT'S IiIVK AT IIOMK
One of our prominent business
men has given us a copy of a paragraph
which lias impressed him am!
seems to us, also, to suggest a very
potent cause of our preseut business
depression. It reads as follows:
"The Southern Farmer gets up at
the alarm of a Connecticut clock,
buttons his Chicago suspenders to
lU'r.rnllc ivochnc Ilie
with Cincinnati soap, in a Pennsylvania
pan. s'ts down to a Grand Rapids
tabic, eats Chicago meat and
Indiana hominy, fried in Kansas
lard on a St. Louis stove. Puts a
New York bridle on a K mtueuy
mule, fed on Iowa corn. Plows u
farm covered by an Ohio mortgage,
with a Chattanooga plow. Win 11
bed time conies he reads a chapter
from a llible printed in Boston and
says a prayer wri ten in Jet >->; ! nil,'
crawls under a blanket made tn New
Jersey, to be kept awake b> a South
Canl'm dog, the only horre product
on the place, and then wonders why
he cannot make mone> raising cotton."
Just as we have all doubtless been
guilty of these or similar offenses
against our neighbors and ourselves,
so may we ill. by united effort ereati
a demand for home products by dl_
versifying our Interests and becoming
independent,? in other words bv
living at home.

We believe that the future glory

The first official public Thanksgiving
Day was kept in 1631.
Occasional days of feasting, prayer
and thanksgiving were kept by
the colonists, but the first general
Thanksgiving Day was appointed by
the Continental Congress, for Thursday,
July 20. 1776.
The first national Thanksgiving
Day was set for November 26, 1780,
by President Washington. -Southern
