Thanksgiving Day I
Next Thursday!
The merchants will oloso.
And give the clerks a well-earned
rest.
From Amerious thousands of ex
pressions of gratitude will go up
from thankful souls to the Heav-
euly Father for the countless liless-
lngs showered upon them durlug
the past year.
And are these not countless?
The world is grateful for uni
versal bloaalngs. Our own dear
Union for many particular bless
ings. Tne fair Southland for man
ifold showers of blessings. Geor
gia for especial blessings among
theso, and our own olty, the
Queen city of all,forblesBlnga upon
blessings, and still more blesslnge.
Hero we aro with the most de
lightful, healthy and Invigorating
climate under the sun. Natural
advantages so numerous that half
has nover been told. Prosperity In
every line in a manner unheard of
in the aunalB of growth and prog
ress. A people cousplcuous for
honesty, morality, enterprise, lib
erality, perseverance, energy and
full of love for humanity. All and
more.
An even general list of onr bless
ings above every other section or
city on the globe would fill a vol
ume.
Bufficlont to say we have been
wonderfully blessed, and are grate
ful.
On next Thursday this gratitude
will be expressed.
Tho merchants have already
agreed to close their doors and give
their employees au opportunity to
give thanks in any way they choose,
It will truly bo a day of thanks
giving, for we know we are blessed.
Hut hero a thought enters of the
poor. How will they spend tho
the day? Will they seat them
selves to a dinner luxurious with
good things? Will they have as
muchcaueo, and will they feel ae
much like giving thanks as those
able to have their turkey?
Then let the good people get to
work, and make thorn have abund
ant reason for blessing the day set
apart for giving thanke.
Let them begin to-day and to
morrow, and give to the destitute
things to satisfy their hunger and
make their hearts bound with Joy.
Next Thursday Is tho day, and
three working days are left for our
Ottlzens noted for their kind heart-
ednoss and generosity to prepare
and arrange everything. That
there are many around us suffering
almost tor the necessities of life
caunot bo doubted. That their
tablos will be almost bare next
Thursday la equally true, and what
• blessing it would be for them if
our good people provide them with
edibles substantial, and that for
one day at least would let them
know what a good meal Is.
Much trealmeut would be In keep
ing with the nature and nsual ac
tion of our citizens, and all that Is
necessary to gladden scores of
hearts and homes Is for some good
man or woman to take the lead.
Who will dolt?
Bpeak at once, and start the ball
rolling to-morrow.
Don’t put It off, but lete’s make
the next Thanksgiving day one
which will be a bright spot in tho
lives of the destitute, aud a day
wheu a perfect oceau of heartfelt
thanks will be poured from happy
souls.
