We noticed in last Friday's iaaue
of The Ledger that “Little Bill” said
that one of his neighbors had a hen
that lays two eggs every dav and also
a rasher of meat to cook them with.
Mr. Huskey said that the hen might
be laying two eggs every day, but
be did not believe it about the meat
to cook them with. He said that
his ben layed the eggs that he said
she did, but did not furnish the meat
to coob them with. Mr. Huskey has
refused to take ten dollars for his
wonderful Rhode Island Red hen.
We enjoy reading Mr. W. R. L.’s

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.

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
