Row It Was Obverred by Direction ol
Governor Bradford.
Th* Pilgrim Fathers landed at Ply
mouth, as we all tnow, on Monday, Dec.
21, 1020.
Under favorable uuspiccs the first har
vest was gathered. With hearts of Joy
they secured the lionntiful crop of Indian
corn which had ripened in the tierce heats
of August and the warm haze of Septem
tier. As they looked on the heaped up
stoats 1 the first fruits of their toil in tbe
new land—their hearts swelled with
tbankfnluess that the Lori had so merci
fully cared for them, and that, though
sorely smitten with pestilence, they were
now blessed with healllii peace and free
dom from the dread of famine.
Mindfnl of the Providence to whom
those blessings were due (those stern, bold
men were very devotional), Governor
Bradford proclaimed a solemn Thanksgiv
ing feast, and ordered that preparations
should be made for celebrating it with
such festivities as ayre in their power.
Fear men were dispatched into tbe woods
to shoot wild fowl, and though the 'game
bad been scanty throughout toe summer,
the quartet of sportsmen returned at night
staggering nuder tiieir burden of turkeys,
gees* and pigeons sufficient to provision
tha entire' settlement tor a whole week.
There was rare labor done by the good
Puritan dames, plucking and dressing the
game, pounding corn and baking it, get
ting nut and polishing the tin and pewter
table services brought from England and
Holland, and scrubbing the wooden
trenchers that served the poorer pilgrims
in lien of tin or pewter.
Tbe roar of one of the great gnns on the
hill top announced the commencement of
Thanksgiving. It was Thursday, Oct. 24,
a little leas than one year after their ar
rival in Cape Cod bay. In tbe different
dwellings and over fires lit In the open air
egan the work of roasting and boiling.
When all had assembled the sergeant
stepped forward, and the men, three
abreast, with firearms shouldered,
marched orderly and silently toward the
meeting house. Behind came Governor
Bradford in his long robe of office, walk
ing gravely, as befitted a governor. On
his right hand walked tbe venerable Eld
er Brewster in his preacher’s cloak, bear
ing (he Bible reverently in hii hands. On
the governor’s left was the military chief
of tb* colony, Miles Standish, his heavy
armor laid aside for a short cloak, his
trusty sword at bis side, and a small cane
In bis hand as a mark ot office. Proudly
he watched the firm tread, sturdy frames
and serviceable weapons of tb* little troop
before him, and was bolt regretful that
among tbe subjects for the day’s thanks
giving waa the blessing of peaee with all
the tribes about them. It waa aba a pity
an sonny good muskets should be used
only in shooting wild fowl, so doubtless
he thought; for the sturdy little captain
was, as be had said, a man of war, half of
whose thirty-seven yean bad been spent
in knocking about the world as a soldier
of fortune.
The sermon of Elder Brewster was ap
propriate to the oecraion. Never was he
known to preach a better discourse or a
shorter one, though it would be thought
long euongh now, particularly if the
steam of roasting Meleagris gallopavo
tickled the nostrils of preacher and con
gregation, a* It did them.
It was a Thauksgiving dinner, and no
mistake about it. To be sure Ihe tables
were of tbe rndest, ami there waa not
much display, nor were there the many'
little delicacies that can often be found
now on Thanksgiving tables. But the
turkey was there to all his glory of
browned skin, rich gravies and palatable
stnffllng, and so were a number of other
birds, great and small, roasted and boiled
and baked over the embers. There was
corn bread and hominy and paddings,
and several little nlcknacks such as skillful
housewives could make up of the mate-
yi.i. at h.pd Nor were tbe tables alto
gether wanting in dlsplsy. Some families
had brought a few household relics from
their English homes, and these were set
ont to do honor to the day of rejoicing.
The dinner over, the pilgrims turned to
te hfimra they had left. As the day
oaed and darkness came creeping to
from the pine woods around Plymouth,
the settlers trod once more, to fancy, tha
green I-"— of England or the busy streets
of Leyden. They sang the prelum and
songs that had been snng around their-
Encllah firesides, mingled memories
of the put with thankfulness for the pres*
it and hope for the foture.
Hark! An Indian shoot, followed by
challenge from one of the guard. A
sharp rattle of a dram* and erery man
grasped his firelock and rushed out to
alarm. Nearly a hundred savages were
pouring Into the village with shouts and
cries. But there was no occasion for
alarm. It was Massasoit and >btaATes
coming to to thank th* White men for
their assistance snd to share their festivi
ties. They brought with them five
and a good supply <4 other game, re

night before came near Iayiagme off for
ever, too. Didn’t you hear about that?
Funniest thing that ever happened
the rood. As I was coming to
on the last section of 57, X having the
rear end, I went up ahead to speak to the
conductor, who was on tlD engine. It
was as dark asaatack of bBraeRP before
the moon rose. As I was going 'back I
slipped oo a broken foot board right at tbe
end of one of thoee infernal refrigerator
care, and fell. I couldn’t see a band be
fore me, but I knew I was going down. I
clutched for the hand rail, bnt tailed to
reach it, lost my balance, and went down
between the cars, breaking my fall by a
one hand grasp on the brake rod. I
knew what that meant. It came over me
like a flash. It wss ileath, and I knew it.
My first thought was of my wife and
babe—of what a Thanksgiving dinner
they would have with the turkey the
superintendent had sent us, and me
a-lyin’ in the little front room aU cold. 1
can’t tell you all I thought to that second,
and I wouldn’t if I could. It was awful.
I can remember striking the ground.
I strnck on my feet, my efforts to
grasp the hand rail and my half
grip on the brake rod having started
my feet down .first. The horror of that
shock. Quicker than yon can wink the
thought ran through my brain that in Ihe
next instant I would be crushed by the
wheels of the dozen cars behind me. But 1
wasn’t. I fell headlong on the ground and
rolled over and over, braised and stunned,
but conscious. I couldn’t realize why the
othercorsdidn’tranoverme. Iwaitedfor
them, second by second. It seemed hours.
Soon I roused, scrambled to my feet, and
found flint there were no cars after me. The
train hail broken to two and I had fallen
off tho rear end. One of my arms was
terribly sprained, also my left ankle, and
I was braised a good deal, hut I could
walk. There was my lantern by me
Just then I rememberer' that the throngh
express was following onr section,
and that there was no one on the ca
boose to flag It. I hobbled, almost
crawled, hack about three-quarters of a
mile and fonuil onr missing core standing
in a curve and a cut where the express
would surely have telescoped ’em, anil got
there jnsl in time to signal the express
and stop it, Next day 1 was aide to sit

A THANKSGIVING SERMON.
Prids and Humility.
Once upon a time two turkeys went to
roost on a tree.
“I am the finest bird that flies,” re
marked one, complacently, “and nothing
is too good .’or me.” So he picked ont a
nice, soft, springy limb almost at tbe top
of the tree nnd went contentedly to sleep.
The other one had been brought np to
consider modesty a great vtrtne, and
bnmbly remarked: “I rm oonte it to sleep
near our dear Mother Earth. 'Pride gocth
before a fall,’ and who knows.but that a
storm may come and blow my ambitions
eompan oa lo the ground, thus breaking
his vain neck?”
So lie took a seat on the lower limb.
A storm did not come, bnt the owner of
tbe turkeys did. and the one on the lower
limb was caught, and on Thanksgiving
day was eaten.
Moral—Danger comes as often from
below as above.
Of aU the days that have been set apart
as sacred to the people of this country, two
stand forth in holy radiance as the out
come of the purest sentiments. The one
is Decoration day, and the other Thanks
giving. The one was born In loving mem
ory of the dead, and the other in gratitude
to the bountiful Giver of aU we enjoy.
The flowers we lay upon the graves of onr
soldiers and lost ones are not sweeter than
the thanks we offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, but it is safe to say that in aU
this broad land there is not one person
whose heart, whether it is weighed down
by sorrow or light with joy, docs not send
at least one grateful thought toward the
source of all good, though perhaps they
are hardly conscious of it.
Gratitude for favors given is a pore and
ennobling sentiment, snd meet is it that
thia youngest and most signally blessed
country should set apart one day whereto
the whole nation, ns one soul, should bow
to silent thanks for all the bounties and
blessings we enjoy. We receive the feast
in the spirit of a reminder that these
blessiugs are bnt a part of the abundant
store; aiul with the feasting the thanks
giving rises like incense. Let there be no
empty tables in all the land, that not one
single heart fail to offer its meed; and let
ns aU “Praise the Lord for his good
works, for bis mercy endnreth forever.”
Tbe first Thanksgiving day recorded
was observed in Leyden, Holland. Oct. 3,
1575, because ot deliverance from siege.
Snch qbscrvances were not uirasuul to
Europe. The first New England
Thanksgiving was held by order of
Governor Dradford, at Plymouth, to
1621, “that they might after a
more special manner rejoice together.”
There were thanksgiving days ia New
England froiu 1631, nearly every year, for
special purposes, and in the New Nether
lands from 1G44. During the revolution
the observance was general, but after that
was confined mostly to New England, till
just before the civil war. During the wax
it was nationally observed and is nows
general custom to nearly all the states.

The following Is the list of the dishes at
Thanksgiving dinner on a Pennsylvania
farm. Everything with the exception of
the pudding was placed upon the table at
once, to obviate the necessity of rising, as

all herself. At the head of the able whs

Juperor Court meets to-day. Judge - N
L Hutchins came in on yesterday. Tho
weather is clear and we will have quite a
crowd here. I suppose the Grand.Jury,
will have a good deal of business, before
them, but, from the material composing
that body 1 suppose they will have au
eye siagfe to the interest of the county
as well as the court, and the business
will be conducted to the interest of. all

Large Hogs.—Mr. Ferdinand Phinizy,
one of our most successful farmers,
whose home-cored hams are known, all

The gentlemen of the legal profession
are coming in by degrees. Messrs D

'It is generally conceded that it is the

by citizens from the county and visiting
attorneys, that has been known for yeata.

Among the visitors at iiourt, we note

break in the roads and the necessity of
draying between. He thinks, and justly,
too, that travel through Athens would be

close connections and better schednlea,
which would follow. He says the Ms*

Young Daniel, of Madison, is here among
his many friends. We see Col Omer

extensively connected family of Mc
Whorters are there, and have great
weight in the county and section, Mr
foe McWhorter, of Stephens, being on

body of citizens. The McYVhorters are
