THANKSGIVING DAY.
United States of America are
called on to lay aside for one day J
their daily business and devote
it to Draver. praise and thanks
giving. It is a time honored rus
tom in this country, although too
much honored in the breach
than in the observance. It is
much regretted that the day is
not more properly observed by
the great majority of people. It
is a pity that the suggestions in
the Presidents proclamation for
the proper observance of Thanks
eiving Day could not or would
not be carried out fully. It would
be so very appropriate and prop
er if all the peopb of this great
country would assemble in their
respective places of worship and
with one voice and one heart of
fer up their praise and thanks to
Almighty God for the manifold
mercies and blessings vouchsafed
to them during the past year.
Never before hve the people
of the United Statss had more
cause to observe a Thanksgiving
Day than they now have. While
nearly all the civilized nations of
the world are waging the blood
i est war of all the centuries our
beloved country is at perfect
peace. The powerful nations of
Europe and the most powerful
nation in Asia are now engaged
in a war the like of which is not
recorded in all the annals of time.
Our people here cannot imagine
the horrors of that terrible war,
but they know enough, or ought
to know enough, to make them
very thankful that our great Re
public is not engaged in it. Every
day thousands of gallant young
men are being slaughtered, thou
sands of women are made wid
ows and thousands of children
are made orphans. Cities and
villages have been destroyed
Large areas of the country have
been devastated and desolated,
and the peaceful inhabitants
driven from their ruined homes
The mind cannot conceive their
terrible sufferings, and all this
the fortunate people of this coun
try have happily escaped. Ought
we not then to be truly thank
ful? Not only are the people of Eu
rope suffering so much from the
horrors of a bloody war, but also
here on our own continent our
neighboring countries are suffer
ing from the horrors of war.
Our northern neighbor, Canada,
being a part of the British Em
pire, has sent to the spat of war
many thousands of hpr stalwart
sons who are fighting gallantly
with the Allies in France and
Belgium. Many a Canadian home
has already been shrouded in
gloom and grief at the death of
some loved one who has een
killed in those bloody battles,
while just across the border the
people of the United States are
at peace and engaged in their
usual daily duties.
On our southern border, in un
happy Mexico, those turbulent
people seem determined to kill
each other in their continued and'
oft-repeated revolutions, and no
man can now safely predict when

Greensboro, Nov. 19. From

half a dozen or more different
camps and forces of men are lo
cated and the men are hard at
work grading for the double
track line of the Southern Rail
way company. Nearly one-third
of the' grading for the uncom
pleted parts of the line is finish
ed, and at the rate the work is
being d Mie the grading will be
finished before the SDrine1 months
It is believed that there will be a
double-track line from Charlotte
to Washington by or before the
middle ot next summer. The
line is double tracked from
Greensboro to Concord, -ndfrom
Charlotte to Harrisburg, leaving
only the short distance between
Harrisburg and Concord unfin

For a long time neither life, lib
erty nor property has been safe
in Mexico, and that unfortunate
country seems like a seething
volcano even when not in full
eruption. The people of the Uni
ted States cannot be too thank
ful that they are now not en
gaged in a war with Mexico.
War with that country has thus
far been averted only by the
hand of Divine Providence and
the wisdom of bur sane and safe
President. Our people are not
aware how narrowly, several
times, we were on the verge of
war with Mexico a war in which
we would have nothing to gain
and much to lose even if our vic
torious armies swept over that
country.
Yes, our people truly have
great cause for thankfulness that
we are at peace, while the great
nations of Europe and Asia and
our neighboring countries of
Canada and Mexico are suffer
