I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. NOV. 26. 1914. When we fancy we have nothing to he thankful for let us think of the plight of the soldiers on the firing line in the European unpleasantness, men who for days and weeks lie the frozen trenches, apprehensive every moment of losing life or lind? from bullet or shell. Oh, yes, we have a lot to i?e thankful for. The Charleston Evening Post's "Greater Charleston Edition'' issued Tuesday afternoon, was a notable achievement even for that enterprising newspaper. The edition contained fifty-two pages chockfull of valuable local and general information. The "Greater Charleston Edition" is well worth a close and careful perusal. **r ^ Many of our contemporaries are advising that it is "tine hog-killing weather," which predication is indisputable, hut we have no hogs to kill, and if our friends will furnish us the hy-products, such as sausage, liver pudding, Kentucky oysters, alias chitterlings, back-bone , and sjiare ribs, not to mention hog's head cheese and pigs' feet, either for cash or on subscription, we will risk the weather 'most any old time. There is a sort of grim humor in ' the spectacle of two armies Hying at J each other's throats and each one : invoking the Almighty to aid them I in smiting the enemy, hip and ] thigh. In this enlightened age it 1 seems Hagrant presumption for men engaged in slaying their fellow-men ] by wholesale to expect the Father all mercies to help one nation to j do^trov .inntlior nrwl it >civrir- of ' sacrilege to offer such petitions to Him from whom "all blessings How." Few of us have a sufficiently vivid imagination to picture the horrors that attend the gigantic struggle now raging in Europe. One writer describing a battle-field scene says that the dead and wounded lay there, not by hundreds or thousands, but by (ere*. Moreover, he adds, the inadequate and 1 over-w.u'ked force of surgeons oper-' ate on the wounded men on the, battle-field and perform the most J seriou- operations without giving; * ^ anesthetic- to alleviate the agony of | knife and saw. Think of whacking off an arm or a leg without any' lethal drug to allav the pain! WEEKLY NEWS LETTER FROM LIVE LAKE CITY J LITTLE HUMAN INTEREST STORIES OF DAILY LIFE BRIEFLY NARRATED.
