Shortly after tho landing of the Pil grims, while scorching for n sultahle phtce In which to buttd their homes, they ono day came upon some deserted Indian huts, In which they found some haskets filled with corn. From this supply they succeeded In saving enough to plant their first year's crop. In tho spring of 1021 tho seed com was gown and Its growing watched anxiously by tho peoplo of tho little colony. To their great Joy, tho har vest of the following October was a bountiful one. Governor Bradford or dered a three days' feast la celebration thereof. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks nnd water fowl, corn bread and vege tables no doubt formed tho chief con stltuents of tholr feast, not to speak of tho five deer brought In by a tribe of friendly Indians. This festival Is supposed to bo tho first real Thanksgiving day from which wo dato our celebration. This cclc bratlon, although without doubt the origin of our national Thanksgiving day, may bo looked upon as merely local observance, being held by the Plymouth colony only. They were the fororanncra of less local celebrations In Massachusetts and gradually In oth or colonics, for In 1030 a publl Thanksgiving day was observed In Morton by tho Hay colony, nnd again In 10,11. During tho next fifty years there wcro ns many ns 22 public Thanks giving days appointed In Mnssachu setts, usually In Octobor or Novotn bcr, after tho gathering In of tho har vests, or to colcbrnto soma public benefit. It did not become a regular holiday until n long time afterward, In 1780 Washington Issued tho fa mous Thanksgiving proclamation rec ommending Thursday, November 20, ns a national day to bo devoted to prayer and Thanksgiving. Washing ton's example was followed by other Presidents. In 1803 President Lincoln appointed the fourth Thursday In November as tho national Thanksgiving day, Slnco then tho day has been observed an Dually without Interruption.

I T is with pleasure at this that I sincerely thank my many customers for their very liberal patronage. It has been my constant effort to give you better merchandise at the lowest possible prices. Late changing conditions have permitted this to bo done to a very noticable degree. My policy is when the wholesale price of an article declines my price will decline correspondingly regardless of profit. I never resort to the so-called SALE methods to offer you recognizable bait and raise the pride on another article which you cannot accurately judge the value of through comparison.

JOHNS Open Evenings When the Shades are Drawn and the tender ministry of the living must give place to the service of the undertaker, It is a real comfort to surviving friends, to feel sure that the preparation for burial will be conducted with dignity and proper respect for the lately departed one. Then, too, Modern Science Iuh found a way through the art of Embalming, not only for removlug the peril of contagion, but also of restoring the natural flush of health, so that the latest picture in memory will be pleasant to recall.
