THANKSGIVING DAY.
Our .annual national festal ilny
is to-morrow. IMenty and pros
perity abound and health and
happiness are ours to enjoy. Let
it, then, be made a genuine Day
of Thanks. Let us bo thankful
for the blessings of heaven, in
the varied contents of "basket
and store," for the fruitage of the
orchards, the holdings of the
granaries, the friends that are
with us and the tender memories
we have of those" who have gone
beyond'. Let those who have
plenty give thanks that they
have much to enjoy, and thanks
that it is their privilege to give
of their bounteous store to those
who are less fortunate, and
thanks agiiin that it is not only
those who receive, but those who
give who are blessed.
Day of Thanks to those who
have but little, that it may be
made the means of comfort and
enjoyment by the mingling of
what little they have with the
leaven of content. Day of Thanks
to the sad and sorrowing, to the
needy and unfortunate, to those
who suffer from wroug doings of
their own or from others, that
dark clouds often have silver lin
ings and that the gloom of night
is always followed by the light of
day. Day of Thanks for the life
that now is and the hopes and
promises of the life to come; for
the life-giving, health-giving and
wealth-giving elements so posi
tive and plentiful on every hand ;
for what we have and for the
much more that we may have, of
our own choice, in the way of
careful, conscientious and pru
dent living.
Day of Thanksfor the precious
memories of the past, the tender
ness of affections and endearment
of the present and for the rich
promises of the opening future
of the Home Life before us. Day of
Thanks for the loves of our homes
and the endearing tie of kin
ship, for the occasions of family
reunions, for the opportunities of
mingling together of the old and
the young, for the loving embra
ces of parents and children, for
the ample means afforded for the
bestow men t of blessings of the
aged sire and mature matron
upon the children and children's
children of their day and gener
ation, for the giving of benedic
tion s by 1 1 1 e gr a n d -s i re a n d gra n d -dame
upon the little ones of the
family Hock, for the privilege of
being recipients of such blessings
and benefits.
Day of Thanks to the lofty and
lowly, for the freedom of thought
and action which is their heritage
in this land of liberty; for the
protecting care that our national,
state and local governments af
ford us. Day of Thanks for the
"olive branches'' that may gath
er around the Thanksgiving ta
ble; for the circumstance that
briugs so many who have stray
ed from the old roof tree back to
the embraces of loved and loving
family circles. Day of Thanks
for the old who are still with us,
tis we reach one hand backward
to them and another forward to
the little ones who are the con
necting links of the lives not onlv
of those who have gone before us,
with our own, but of our own
with those who are to come after;
for the duties that these little
ones demand at our hands, and
for the lessons of life that they
teach us as we go on our way
from one Thanksgiving Day to
another and making each one, as
it comes in its turn, a genuiue
Day of Thanks.

Miss S. Tomlinson. Atlanta, &a., says :
"For many years I have been afflicted
with rheumatism combined with severe
kidney troubles, indigestion and nervous
prostration. Several phvs
RneUIIiatlSIIl icinns were employed and
numerous patent medicines
resorted to without benefit. At last I
began the use of B. B. B.. and its effect
was like magic. Rheumatic painsceased,
my kidneys were relieved, and my consti
tution improved at once.'
Z. T. Hallerton, Macon, (Ja., writes:
"Three years ago I contracted blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
ami his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two
HOI SpriDgS months, but nothing seemed
to cure mo permanently, al
though temporary relief w as given me. I
returned home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting
well. I was persuaded to try B. B. B.,
and to my utter astonishment it quickly
healed every ulcer."
