THANKFULNESS.
In accordance with a growing modern usage, other things besides the traditional big loaves and gigantic marrows figure among the decorations at harvest festival, for many seem to have taken to heart the dictum of a well-known clergyman that gifts of coal, tools, manufactured goods, and even tobaceo, might be more appropriate from town parishioners than agricultural produce. The great thing, of course, is to express thankfulness, like the old dame who once told Deap Hole: "I've had a lot of trouble this year. First 1 lost my sister, then my pig, but one thing I ought to be thankful for, and I am—the Lord's been pretty much on my side this vear for greens."
