in the busy days whic-li surround us we are
apt to forget that there is always something
left to thank God for. The Pilgrims gave
thanks for being alive aft'T reaching their
destinutioj on that rocky, sterile coast.
What these poople thought of lif with
their courage. honety and fear of God, has
leavened the best life of America. It is 285
years since the first Thanksgiving gathering,
called by some foast of ingathering t his
band of serious men and women thoughtless
of feasting and more of fasting, but they
still found sufficient reason for gratitude
to inaugurate a day when they should come
together lo show their appreciation for do
liverence from many dangers and thanks
for small mercies received. Those were
barren days fraught with little joy, but they
IiTed, therefor they rejoiced.- We who are
reaping the harvest sown by the.-te .turdy
ancestors, have the deepsst and highest
causes for thanksgiving. We have our
homes, our guarded firesides with the privi
lege of making it such a home that all who
dwell in it can look back in the years to
come with thoughts of its cheer and its
elevating influence its love. The young man
or woman going out into the world with the
memory of such a borne, takes with h m the
most precious memory that an earthly life
can give.

This man bought a supply of tobacco with

of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheering
qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at
less expense than cheap tobacco.
SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this
paper so that every chewer has had an
opportunity to get acquainted with the
facts and know that drugs are not used
to produce the cheering quality found in
the famous Piedmont country flue-cured
tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he
ought to chew. Still there are chewers
who accept other and cheaper tobaccos
that do not give the same pleasure.

we again found them hang

pelled fo take off onr hats
and acknowledge an intro
duction to a peach of first
