About Thanksgiving Day.
Death Of Mrs. Baskin at Byron.
4 T^ 1 - n i 0st C0 "i uc ideut with the es
tablishment of colonial govern
ment in America an appointed
thanksgiving day was sacredly ob
served. J
When English authority had
been overthrown, there was added
reason for the annual observance
of such a day.
Now this great republic of free
people enjoys the distinction of
being the only nation in the world
officially called upon each year to
observe a fixed day to express
thanksgiving to the Almighty
God for the mercies and blessings
that come to us so freely and
bounteously, and which He alone
can give.
By authority of the president
of the United States, and bv the
governor of our own state, next
Thursday is fixed as our day of
thanksgiving for 1901.
From national and state stand
points, it"is most appropriate that
the people who love and enjoy
liberty should give thanks to God
that our country is so abundantly
supplied with all that is essential
to life, health and happiness. To
him who will use wisely and well
the privileges and opportunities
that are vouchsafed to him by the
Omnipotent Father and the best
government the world has ever
known, there is certainty of all
the conditions essential to com
fort, good health and correct liv
ing-
The foundation for thanksgiv
ing is the knowledge that there is
cause for gratitude. We are grate
ful for favors conferred, and as a
people we know that our country
has been peculiarly favored.
Narrowing the view point to
our county, our community and
our town, there is no less reason
for the sacred observance of the
annual Thanksgiving day. With a
county great in the healthfulness
of the climate, the fertility of the
soil and the diversity of its pro
ducts; with a citizenship in the
main upright, refined, energetic
and true, our thanks are due Him
who mode all things and ruleth
iu the heavens. Drawing the line
closer, to the community, the im
mediate neighborhood, the home,
the individual, the same cause for
thanksgiving becomes stronger as
it is concentrated
If there were but one reason,
that would be, sufficient for pro
found gratitude for the gift of that
which no one ean acquire by his
own unaided exertion. That is:
we have life, ample oppntunity
for enjoyment, and there are oth
ers not so well surrounded.
Mrs. Lucy Baskin, wife of Dr.
Robert H. Baskin, died at their
home in Byron last Thursday
night, having suffered several days
with pneumonia.
The funeral was at Byron Sat
urday morning.
Mrs. Baskin was about 61 yearB
of age,—Miss Lucy F. Darden of
Monticello, Jasper county—a
member of the Baptist church, a
true Christian in Word and deed, a
most lovable woman in every res
pect.
She leaves the devoted husband
and a son, Mr. John H. Baskin of
Macon, and they have the sincere
sympathy of their many friends
throughout Houston county, and
Georgia.
Dr. Baskin is a brother of Mrs.
Ann Killen and uncle of Mrs. W.
H. Norwood of Perrv.
—The Toomer brothers, who
now have control of the grist mill
on Flat Creek, about 4 miles
south-west of Perry, are young
colored men reared in Houston
county. They are sons of Wal
ter Toomer and his wife, who were
reared on the plantation of their
former master, the late Mr. Hen
ry Toomer, about five miles from
Perry. By energy and good man
agement Walter and his wife have
accumulated some property, as
sisted materially by the boys who
now have charge of the mill.
These colored people have earned
the respect and good will of their
fellows, and all the white people
who know them are their friends.
—Next year will be Houston’s
time to furnish the state senator
for this district, the 23rd; and al
ready several prospective candi
dates are sparring for position.
With an open field and no favors,
the best equipped man will win.
It is also said there 'will be new
aspirants for representatives, and
for county offices candidates ga
lore.
—Last Monday and Tuesday
an officer and a fj&Pmer traveled
over fifty miles in search of a sto
len cow. They were at times on a
“hot trail,” and even went into
another county, but they didn’t
get the cow.
