MANRING. Deputy. AN OLD TIME THANKSGIVING An aged lndy recently contributed to the Brooklyn Citizen this description of a New England Thanksgiving three quarters of a century ago. when life was simpler and saner than today: The house was cleaned from the roof to the cellar the week before, as Thanksgiving in New England was a greater holiday than Christmas or New Year's and it must be observed by everybody. The house was lull of nice odors. One day it was mince pie and fried cakes, then it would be sweet pickles and election cake, then pump kin pies—my sister Persis counted ten in a row—then plum pudding and Wednesday night a chicken pie that would almost crowd the top of the oven and would come on to the table— a piece of it, I mean, warmed up— every Sunday till the next year. It held the plumpest chickens and sweet apple quarters that had been half dried, and the meat and gravy were sweet as the apples, and spices and other goodies, and all in a large milk pan. with a flaky crust at top and bot tom a quarter of an inch thick. To make that crust Persis and I had to burn clean corncobs in an iron ket tle and gather up the ashes, and moth er poured hot water on them, then strained the liquid and stirred it into some buttermilk, and that made It bub ble and fizzle just as soda nowadays. Thursday morning we were up bright and early, and mother read a chapter in the Bible. Then we all stood up while father prayed for us, and 1 felt almost like crying, it was so solemn, but 1 forgot all over the nice breakfast and the walk of a mile to the church and the music and the return at noon to a dinner smoking hot on the table. Mother hnd arranged a party for us that evening, but we could not wail i"or that, so our sleds were brought out. and we climbed the long hills with a group of girls and boys and seated ourselves, letting one boy ride with us on each side to steer it. The parlor was all in order. The floor was covered with white sand swept into curves. The woodwork was a bright blue, white sash curtains at the windows and a plain stand with a green haircloth on it ant. a large Bible resting on that. Six wooden chairs and a stiff backed rocking chaii composed the furniture of th^ room. Stiff and formal as it looked, that was not the place for party or party games. The next room was for our pleasure ground. It was large and roomy. Saved Many From Death. W. L. Mock, of Mock, Ark., be lieves he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. "What I always like to do," he writes, "is to recommend Dr. King's New Discovery for weak, sore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obsti nate coughs, la grippe, croup, asth ma or other bronchial affections, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well today because they took my advice to use it. I honestly believe its the best throat and lung medicine that"s made." Easy to prove he's right. Gel a trial bottle free, or regular 50c or $1.00 bottle. Guaranteed by all Druggists. FOR SALE. I am desirous of disposing of some of my property in Colfax. Good in come business and residence prop erty. Before buying, call and see me. Conditions and prices will at tract you. J. R. GOOD.
