"IflUe" "settlement; and " eTcr
twelve-month" has passed the lit
lie hand is reduced to a. mere
fragment. The cloud that had
appeared on the horizon did not
caue these people to turn back
thpv onlv pressed forward in
their determined efforts to estab
the name of "freedom
in
this, a new world.
More and more of their coun
Irvineii ftil lowed, and in the
autumn, one year after their ad
vent into this new world, they
held the first Thanksgiving serv
ice in the little lop cabin which
they had dedicated as a house of
vir.-hip, and with, as it were, one
Mijrc, one heart, and one mind
sanir hymns, offered prayers U
the Father of all pood for tin
llesinps received from His hand
Hearings in the great foreslf
had leen made and huklles of lop
cabins, surrounded by .stockade-
of huce tree trunks Could be
seen here and there dotting the
endless wilderness of woodland
The smoke frm the chimney?
bespoke what was soon to be th
smoke from human sacrifices ol
an hundred homes. The pres
ence of the "pale face" was a
goad to the flesh of the savage
for bv the side of the camp tiff
he could see that the coming of
the white man means a ' separa
tion of himself from his coeted
hunting ground. lie began to
resi-t their intrusion, and soon
the piece pipe ga e way to the
war dance, the painted face and
the tomahawk.
Many are the nights, when all
was quiet slumber within the lit
tle cabins. hae the sleepers been
aroused by Hie fiendish shriek of
the red man, as he and his com
panions surrounded the homes,
bur-1 in upon the occupants,
da-hed out the brains of the in
nocents, or carried I hem off int o
captivity. Are we putting it too
strongly when we ay that our
freedom was paid for with the
blood of human sacrifice?
Coining down to the pre.-ent
time.. b-t us stale that the uood
people of Lewi-don and icinity
have arranged to hold the com
memoralive Thanksgiving serv
ice at Lewi-ton church, and trust
that we may maintain the same
spirit as did our forefathers
when they set forth the example.
Our pastor, Hev. V. A. Talor,
will deliver the morning sermon
at 11 o'clock. Special music,
consisting of solos and choruses,
will be rendered. ,
Immediately after the devo
tional services the ladies of. the
K. N. K. will serve a general
Thank-giving dinner. The menu
will consist of all of the good
thin-- that go to make up a
fe.-live banquet, and -none other
knows how to prepare these
templing viand- belter than John
Fanner-' wives and daughters.
One -pecial feature of the dinner
will be roast goo-e, browned ami
garnished by the dainty hands of
Mr. Farmers' daughters. The
remaining portion of the menu
we leave to you to imagine.
The ladies' bazaar good-, cn-si-ling
of such articles as will
be -uitable fur holiday gifts, will
be on sale. r is the dinner all
that will be served. Supper, cn-.-i-ling
of all good things in gen
eral, with fresh oysters as a
special attraction. Come early

giving spirit. We as.-ure you a
cordial welcome by all Levviston
people.
