HLW Thanksgiving at the Church. Thursday laut, was duly observed, as a day of prayer, and thanksgiving by a a union service of all the churches in the large and beautiful temple of the Presbyterians In this olty. It was a typical Piedmont November day. love ly, and the bouse though not full, waa a good audience, largely made up of iadics. The Rev. Mr. Adams, the pas tor of the church, conducted the ser vices, and preached the sermon, as sisted by Revs. Messrs. Clark and Car lisle of the Methodist churoh. Rev. Mr. Pitts of the Baptist church was absent, attending the Baptist convention in sossion at Greenville. Mr. Csrllslo read the President's Proclamation set ting apart the day for thanksgiving and religious observance by the sixty five millions of people forming our great oummunity. Mr. Adams read the Psalm, 145, and took for his text, verse 11, Psalm 06: Thou crow nest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness* It was a simple, beautiful and elo quent discourse. In his exordium he related the saying of a great divine, that he was often called to pray for the siok, but rarely to return thanks for the recovered; the story of the ten lep ers who were cleansed, and the one that turned back to return thanks. He contrasted the surroundings of these sixty five millions to whom the Procla mation is addressed, with European peoples: the blessings of the peace we enjoy: the quasi state of war of the greatly armed nations abroad and the burdens entailed upon the people; the complicated entanglements and rela tions of these; our civil and religious liberties; tho blessings showered upon the nation and particularly our South land, the dosing days of the year going out in peace and reviving prosperity. This beautiful and eloquent presenta tion of the blessings for which we should be thankful to God was closed with the climax of tbe preolous gift of his son as our saviour and redoomer. A Delightful Christinas Magazine. The Christmas Ladies' Home Jour nal by far surpasses, both in.literacy and artistic excellence, any previous is8iio of that popular magazine. Con splcuons among the contributors are ex-President Harrison, who gives the introductory paper of the series he is preparing upon "This Country of Ours"; Mrs. Mary Anderson de Navar ro, who most interestingly tells of "My First Appearance on the Stage"; and Mary E. Wilklns,-who gives the first of "Neighborhood Types" papers. Rud yard Klppllng's Intent and best ro manco "William the Conqueror" (rich ly illustrated by W. L. Taylor), is be gun in tho Christmas Journal, as Julia Magruder's new novelette, "The Violet which Charles Dana Gibson has illus trated, while Mrs. Burton Harrison's fascinating story, "The Holiday Dance at Vvorresquoyaoke" (pictures by W. T. Smodley) is delightfully concluded.? James Whitcomb Riley's tendorly re miniscent poem, "At the Gate" (super bly Illustrated by A. B. Frost), and Kate Greenway's winsome dainty little people, are two page features of the Decembor Journal. Mrs. A. T. D. Whitney in a "Friendly Letter to Girl Friends" sharply criticises Bociety for what it is, and snows its true mission or purpose, and a fitting page-mate to it Is Lilian Bell's caustic analysis of "The Man Under Thirty-Five," a bril Uantly-witty paper. Edward W. Box editorially discusses the South and Southern people, directs attention to "An Evil cf the Holidays," chats upon "A Young Christmas" and "Young Men and Evening Work." Dr. Park hurst talks strongly in condemnation of "The Passion of Money-Getting"; Hezokiah Butt er worth tells "How Longiellow Wrote "His Best-Known Poonis" ? and Robort J. Burdette hu morously and pointedly treats of "Wasting Other Peoplo's T'me." Aside from the usual departmr ;s and taiks about fashions In femin*' ire, thore ie a dainty-illustrater an.cle? "Attractive Dinner Cards." w. ioh out linos the art of dinner-giving", also in structions in Christmas decorations for churches, talks of Christmas gifts, receipts for candies and puddings, sug gestions for needlework, parties and games. "An Ideal Kitchen" and "A 13600 Suburban Home," both illus trated; are especially useful articles; tho latter gives all the plans and de tails of construction, and is by a prac tical architeot. The musical feature of the number, a hymn, "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee," is one of Bru no Oscar Klein's best compositions? Tho artists represented in the Christ mas Journal are among the most nota ble illustrators, and include A B. Frost, Kate Greenaway, W. L. Taylor, 0. D. Gibson, Alice Barber Stopnens, W. Tmedley, E. Grlvaz, E. M. Hallo woll, Abby E. Underwood, Mrs. E. S. Green, W. S. Rlee. One dollar per year, ten cents per copy. OBITUARY. Died at her residence in Laurena countv, S. C, on August 12th, 1805, Mrs. Rebecca E. Patterson, in the 58th year of her age. The deceased was a devoted Christian having united with the Upper Duncan's Creek Baptist church when quite young. A few years ago she withdrew from that church to help organize the Lanford church. She was a consistent member for more than thirty years. She was confined to her room for five long years and bad two strokes of paralysis, the last one proving fatal. She leave seven children, a broken-hearted husband, who was ever trne and faithful to her, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. But they weep not as those who have no hope, for we feel our loso is her gain. Her remains were carried to Lanford church and tbe funeral services con ducted by her former pastor, Rev. E. O. Watson. May the Lord comfort her husband and her children and host of friends and relatives in their affliction. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." ._<E. 0. W. H.

On io Atlanta Is all the go now In this section. Those who have been have enthused those at home and a* nobody wishes to be out of tho fashion nearly all aro going or gono this week. Among those who havo made the trip wo would mention: M. T. Simpson and wife, Perrin Watts and wir?', SV. B. Fuller and family, Q. L. Carter and family, R. D. Nance and daughter, Col. J. H. Whnrlon and wife, Prof. W. T. Mo Elroy and wife, Mrs. J. O. Williams, Mrs. Janie McSwain and son, sov eral young ladies and about twenty young men and some darkies. This Is enough to show to what nn ex tent the craze has spread. Our friend Luther Wells beats the record for going to tho Exposi tion on short time. lie left this place or. Monday uight at 12:86 o'clock, was at the gates when opened Tuesday morning, went all through it, took it all In, camo back to car shed got on train at ,8:45, P. M. and at 2:30 A. M. Wed nesday morning was back, home, having been gone just twenty-six liour-, traveled 385 miles and took In tho Expo Ition. Luthor is a hustler and Cross Hill is still ahead, if anybody boats that send us word and wo will have Luther to try again. Mr. N, B. Davenport and family have moved to his plantation on Sahida river. They will be greatly missed. Dr. E. Q. Simpson after a residenco of about fifty years at Cross Hill bus gone with the family of Mr. Davenport. Mr. J. W. Simmons'now occupies tho Davenport mansion. Mr. J. C. McQowan has moved to tho plantation of his fat her on Cane creek. Dr. VV. E. Goddard will occupy the residence of Mr. McOnwan'a. Dr. K. VV. Pinson and wife have moved into their handsome resi dence on Main street. Mr. Mason Hill isbuilding a resi dence on Main street. Mr. A. M. Turner had tho mis fortune to loso a fine cow a few days since. J. W.Simmons lost a very valua ble and fine horse a few days since, Mr. John Grant has rented and moved to the place of Dr. J. P.

Mrs. Anderson and daughter of Anderson have been spending soim time with friends and relatives in town. Dr. J. F. McGowan and family of Euhalee, Ga., spent last week with relativen in town. We aro al ways glad to see the doctor. Well the convention Is about through its work and tho biggest thing that has been accomplished is paying tho members $4.00 per day and the taxpayers will have to foot the bill of forty or sixty thou sand dollars. Tho?e who voted for the $4.00 per day will have a hard time explaining to the satisfaction of the people. To us it seems that It would bo well to Invite tho $4.00 fellows to a back soat hereafter.? "You can fool all the people awhile, and Bomo of them nil the time, but you can't fool all the peo ple all tho time." The profits of tho Dispensary goes to education ?so the more whiskey you drink, the more money there will be for schools, "pie for shame." Miss Jane Austin died Novem ber 28th after a long and painful illness. She bore her suffering with exemplary Christian patience and placidly foil asleep in heaven. She leaves 9ae brother and a large cir cle of relatives and friends to mourn her death. SCRIBE. When traveling, always take a cake of Johnson's Oriental Soap with you ; diseases are often caught from using hotel soap. Sold by The Laurens Drug Co. Danger from Catarrh. Tho most important feature about that very common complaint, catarrh in the head, is its tendency to develop Into some other more serious and dangerous disease. The foul matter dropping from the head into the brochial tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis or consumption, that destroyer which causes more deaths In this country than any other disease As catarrh originates in impurities in the blood, local applications can do but little good. Tho common sense mothod of treatment is to purify tho blood, and for this purpose there is no preparation superior to Hood's Sar sarparilla. The powerful action of this medicine upon tho blood ex pels every impurity, aud by so do ing cures catarrh and givos health to the entire organism. HEADQUARTERS FOR ?? BARGAINS IN Laurens. Where? L.
