FORT kjumk Thee, O Father, for days yet to be— For hopes that our future will call us to thee— That all our eternity form, through Thy love, One Thanksgiving day in the man sions above." Another Thanksgiving day has passed, probably the last one to be set aside by President Roosevelt. The proclomation recommends that the people shall cease their daily toil, and in their homes or churches, meet and render praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of all good. Wonder if the majority of the peo ple have celebrated it in this way. Each one had something to be thank ful for, if he could but realize it. It was observed in various ways I know—then would you like to know something of how I observed it? First, was thankful that I could gat iter again my former strength to resume the pleasure of writing, my silence and idleness, so far as writ ing is concerned, having been due to the effects of a severe nervous shock, caused by two intoxicated fiends coming to our apartment at the dead hours of the night—commanding the door to be opened, that they might come in. What is the curse of our country? For other blessings than that I am thankful; those which have, in a way, made my life a peculiarly happy one What my body has lost for a time, perhaps my character has gained, through an exercised kindness from others toward me. Especially through a message received, contain ing these lines: “I am sorry that I did not get to call oftener, for my visits to you, and noting your cheer fulness in affliction and abiding faith in God, will always be an inspiration to me. Regret that you never felt able to attend service, but as afore said. your trust and faith Inspired me more than many who did.” After reading the phrases it caused me to feel so much my deficiency. in the forenoon of the day I antici pated the arrival of some friends, who were to spend tho day with me— hui a canopy of clouds hung over the country, and they were afraid to ven ture out, lest the eelestieal guages of the water supply be opened and they might get “kind of soaked.” Despite the inclement weather, all here left to attend the Jr. O. ft. A. M. Thanksgiving feast held at Holly Grove hall, save mother and myself. There was a quiet here that had the quality of a gentle confessor who hears and will never tell; yet there was no sorrow for me in this autumn. In the quietness, I stationed myself in what 1 have christened, my “think ing-stone,'’ (because I can think to better purpose here than elesewhere) and fell to reading: after passin several hours in that way, began to think in the strain of joyous excitement which for me the beautiful in nature always evoked, then for a time my thoughrn became singular—wandered to former Thanksgiving days. The wonderful autumn colors of October and Novem ber came and have past. How peace ful is the time! It is worth while to cross the ocean to see King Autumn die thus glorious ly. They call this pause when regret doth make the great Reaper linger pitifully—they call it the Indian sum mer, because of its various hues re sembling the Red Man. I must not omit that which is to many, tho most important feature of Thanksgiving—dinner. But to mo it was nothing out of the usual menu. I being as an aged farmer of Union county, who, at one time after much persuasion, yielded to visiting the Northern markets with some mer chants of Union. He was a farmer of means, but ancient; seeming to not have any aspirations beyond an accumulation of property. While in New York the merchants planned to take him to the best equipped hotel the city afforded. After entering the dining hall and scanning the menu which was writ ten in French, the farmer found he could not read it. then quietly re marked to the remainder of the par ty: “Don’t get above your raising, boys, take ham and eggs, ham and eggs.” when the caterer was waiting to serve them. He ordered that in preference to the sumptuous repast awaiting him. Neither could T get above my limit ed diet, fruit and albumen, to partake of the delicacies others relish. In all the quietness the day was pleasant to me. and recalled to memory this quotation; “So count your blessings, one by one, At early morn and set of sun. And, like an incense, to the skies. Your years of thankfulness shall rise. Look for the love that heaven sends. The good that every soul intends. Thus you will learn the only way To keep the true Thanksgiving day.” With best wishes for the continued success of The Ledger. Lucile Lee. Mr. Elmore’s, Mrs. Davis’s father, last week.
