The Thanksgiving Sermon
and Patriotic Oration
stopped at a halfway station and the
"patriarchal Pastor'shot off
' "Count your blessings! Sing it!"
And the people stood and sang until the
rafters rang
Yes! Count your blessings and
Re-count them, but do
NOT DISCOUNT
THEM
The Avar IS over and do not forget it !
Give us the Senate plan of new bridges between'
the nations and all the world will unite together,
coming and going.
Give honor to the noble President who
conscientiously and laboriously did his best, within
an inch of sacrificing his life.
Let US quickly strike General Grant's chimes
and " let us have peace."
With the early and final adjustment of the
Senate's duties under the Constitution of the United
States, the waves of unrest and fear will settle down,
business, labor, the railroad situation will be
righted, and instead of the II. C. L. will begin to
slowly restore the good times with L. C.L. (lowering
cost of living), which will surely come along when
everybody goes to work again and slops talking and
lecturing and holding meetings.
