LOc AND $1.00. Grindal Gossip. Grindal, Nov. 4.—Rev. Mr. Thomp son filled his appointments at Reho- both Sunday evening. He preached an excellent sermon, taking for his text the 6th chapter of Matthew and 10th verse. “Thy k'ngdom come.” He clearly pointed out the fact that we should not do good deeds because of fear of punishment, hut for love of Christ. Lust Wednesday while ginning cot ton on W. A. McWhirter’s place, Kir by & Foster’s ginnery caught fire, de stroying about one hundred pounds of lint cotton and seriously burning Lester Coleman, colored, about the face and arms. We are glad to report it all a mis take about Mr. Wm. Goudeloek be ing dead. May he be spared many long years yet, for too fast are the old soldiers passing away. Speaking of early rising being harmful, It is our honest opinion that late hours and early rising is harm ful, especially for women and chil dren. Recently we passed a groupe of ladles chatting. “No,” one was saying, "we never have time for any thing Mke that at our house. We are just rushed to death, especially dur ing school term, and we never go to bed ’til) nearly 12 o’clock either.” And I assure you that work, worry and late hours were plainly written on her person. “The rains of cold November an- here once more. November is not only the month In which “Some days must he dark and dreary," hut it is also the month in which a day Is set apart, for returning thanks for the blessings of a twelve month’s. Per haps a review* of the origin of Thanksgiving Day would he interest ing, especially for the children. The popular impression L’ that the first Thanksgiving day was observed t»f the Pilgrims at Plymouth, bat a aar^ ful search of the origin brings to light the fact that the flrat thanks giving for the safe arrival of tho ships, and other blessings, was first heard of on the New England shores on August 7, 1607, from the lips of the Pophapj colonists. Really the first national Tnanas- giving Day was November 18, 1777, by-'ect 0 f Congress, thanking God that He had been pleased to smile on them in the prosecution of a Just and necessary war, and for the defense and establishment of their rights and liberties. It was not until the Revo lutionary war that the feast became national, and after 1784 It wM oniy nccnslnnally observed, except In New England: hut the Civil war brought the people to a new sense of national oneness and ever since 1863 the pre§- i lent of the Enited States has annu- 'all. issued a proclamation of thanks giving. which now is generaly ob- served throughout the States. Ail Christian nations have set apart days fop returning thanks, hut not since the annual celebration of the Feast of the Ingathering of the Tows has another nation regularly set apart a special day for a tbanks- I giving festival. From Inquiry, we learn that most everybody in this section Is most i through picking cotton, and some say it hat theirs is turning nut better than they expected. Verily, we all have much tr> he thankful for, for we have 1 entton if no money. Annie Laurie. ■> 'AN TV Nt!V'* «M HAP^FNtNGS IN THB i r Vi N f INTtRSFT N FOREIGN r.ANoa TAK* ANC !
