FIFTY YEARS AGO Mrs. Richard Bishop has been quite sick the past week, but is now some what better. John Huemaim, who was injured by a vicious bull a week or two since, is improving slowly. He had a narrow escape. On Thursday night of last week two hay stacks, the property of Homer Clemens, who resides southwest cf this village, were burned. From the location of the stacks and the dampness of the weather, there was no doubt but that it was the work of an incendiary, and steps were immediately taken to ferret out the guilty parties.

EXCEPT the Fourth of July Thanksgiving is the most distinctively American of all our national holidays, [t has not always been held so late in the year, nor has it always been held everywhere at the same time. Originating in New England, it was1 not observed throughout the country until after the Civil war, when the Presidents, as well as the governors of states, began to Issue Thanksgiving proclamations. Thus It has become a symbol of national unity. The custom of celebrating a Thanksgiving day did not originate with the Pilgrims, though they introduced it into tjiis country. ' Kor seven days when the harvest was over the Hebrews of the Old Testament held their Feast of Tabernacles, a sort of camping- out time in memory of their period of wandering In the wilderness. In October the (Greeks oelebfoted at Athens their "Thesmophoria," in honor of DOmeter, the goddess of agriculture. It was a festival that began with religious rites performed by married women only, and that ended with a general banquet and dancing. On October 4 the Romans kept a similar feetlval that they called "Cerealia" in honor of Ceres, their goddess of the harvest. Indeed there Is In , almost every Kuropean nation a tradition of a feast to mark the end of the garnering of the crops. In Old England it was called "Harvest Home" and came down from the Saxon period; in Scotland It was "Kern"--a word that means the last sheaf. The Dutch of Leyden, where the Pilgrims spent ten years before they came to New England, celebrated on October 8 every year a festival to give thanks for their delivery from the Spaniards In l.">74-- a day that corresponds to our Armi& tlce day. In the Scandinavian churches a special Sunday Is designated every fall as Thanksgiving day.--Youth's Companion. Shop at Public Service tfi*- for useful gifts that last! Electrical gifts!
