DAY OF THANKSGIVING
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving
and as our country has much to
be thankful for, The .Journal
would suggest that all or as many
of our citizens as can do so join in
observing the day in a genuine
spirit of thanksgiving.
Can we not for at least a part of
one day lay aside our business
affairs and seriously meditate upon
the goodness and greatness of an
All-Wise Providence who has so
bountifully supplied the conditions
whereby we are permitted to en
joy the multitudiuous blessings of
living in these times of great
peace and prosperity ?
Can we not assemble at our re
spective churches and engage in
a real service of thanksgiving in
the humble attitude that we
-hould ?
After being thankful for the
many things we are the recipients
of as unmerited gifts from the
bountiful hand of an All-Wise and
Morciful Providence, let us not|
forget to be thankful that we have j
homes, with good wives and child- j
ren, and good fathers and mothers, |
to love and to love us. What
could afford more genuine pleas
ure for an occasion of this kind
than the gathering together un
der the old parental roof of all the
scattered sons and daughters? No
greater earthly joy can come to
man than to participate in a real
Thanksgiving re-union of this
kind where a genuine spirit of
gratitude is uppermost in all
minds, where two or three gener
ations meet and thus strengthen
fraternal ties and encourage filial
piety.
But no matter how we observe
the day, let us not forget the true
and sincere spirit of thankfulness
that prompted the first observance
of the day, and let us remember
that Thanksgiving was not insti
tuted by a people surrounded by
comforts and luxuries, but who
turned their hearts to God in the
midst of hardships and privations
of which wo today scarcely com
prehend the meaning.
Let us cultivate a spirit of
thankfulness, of gentleness, of!
brightness, of gladness, and of
thoughtfulness.
True, we should not wait until
Thanksgiving to do these things, '
but if on this occasion we will ser- j
iously and thoughtfully meditate
upon these things and resolve to
follow the promptings of our bet
ter nature, we will become better
men and women, better neighbors
aud better citizens.
The increasing rate of suicide
has caused a country editor to do
some serious thinking, and here’s
what he says: “At the present
writing we have no desire to leave
this vale of tears and hurl our
selves into Abraham's bosom, but
if we should desire to do so, we
wouldn’t lean up against a loaded
shotgun aud then pull the trigger,
as many do. Neither would we
eat a solid meal of rough-on-rats,
blow out the gas, drink concen
trated lye, sit down in the lap of a
buzz-saw, smoke cigarettes or call
a Kentuckian a liar or a poor judge
of whiskey. We would simply
get out an edition of our paper in
which we would strive to the best
of our ability to print the plain
square-toed truth about every
thing and then calmly await the
end.”
By doing some good hard think
ing you will perhaps remember
that we had a state election in Ar
kansas back early in September.
By hard work the secretary of
state has just finished compil
ing the official vote, and on Tues
day gave out the vote for and
against license. The majority
against license in the state is 23,
362, a gain of 1,180 over two years
ago. There are now only thirteen
wet counties in the state.
According to figures complied
in the Treasury Department at
Washington, the American peo
ple are prospering despite the
high cost of living. Deposits in
the savings banks increased during
the year $257,000,000. The aver
age depositor’s account was
$455.22, just $24.77 more than the
average of the year before.
Dr. Jno. H. Dye of Searcy will
be a candidate for chaplain of the
next state senate. The Journal
believes that no better selection
could be made and we heartily
join his many friends in hoping
that he may be elected.
Ideals are like stars; .vou will
not succeed in touching them with
your hands, but like the seafaring
man on the desert of waters, you
choose them as your guides, and,
following them, you reach your
destiny,—Carl Schurz.
It is estimated that the value of
Arkansas crops this year will be
two hundred and twenty million
dollars, with an additional twenty
million for fruits. The Arkansas
farmer is getting to be some pun
kins. _____________
Let us not forget that next
Thursday is Thank-giving. Wc
have much as a people to be thank
ful for and we should at least show
our appreciation by a proper ob
servance of the day.

trates. Many sufferers use them

the greatest satisfaction, whv

the stomach nor create a habit
Why not try them? Get a pack
