Mr. Editor, Ou tho evening of Nov vcuibcr 20th, 1904, wife and I in our dc? .?lining yenrs had our children and grand diildren (except our oldest grand daugh t< r) with us. How it did cheer our hearts 0 lia ve them with us in our dcolioing yea1 s as wo travel down thc sleep of lime and not one of them halt, mumed or blind-all healthy and enjoying life. Should I not pay "Praise the Lord," seo-, ing them all clethed and in their right lilied and able to work for their living? And we, os grandparents t-avcling on in our 50th year of married lile aud expect ting to be living at thc closing up of ibis ult! world that thc inhabitant:! thereof arc dcmg so much for our adversary, the wicked ono. P. S-As the above was not sent you in lime, I will add a little moro as a co dicil. This is Thanksgiving Duy, and I tun full jolly for that, knowing that our Heavenly luther has been so merciful to 1 and family to prolong our lives to this ay. Praise the Lord for bia goodness and" render mercies shown to us, with cribs of fiuc corn for sustenance a year a? head, styes weighted with fine hogs for I bacon, potatoes if they keep, for a year's .upply, poultry ia large quantity and eggs br pies and cake, with boney to sell and sweeten oar lips.
