WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1897.
Thanksgiving.
President McKinley has issued the
usual annual proclamation naming the
last Thursday of November as a day of
prayer and.thanksgiving, and his p1 oc-
lamation will be 'followed . due
course by similar proclamations from
the Governors of all the States.
Thanksgiving Day has by common
consent and long observance become as
distinctively an American holiday as
the Fourth of July. It is the'day of
family reunions and of general felicita-
tic-4:1, and: the American people will
have as good reason for giving thanks
ti 115 year as in any former year of their
in
experience.
Blessed with abundant crops, free-
dom from fatal epidemics, peaceful re-
lations with all the world, and the re-
turn of business lprosperity, no other
people on the face of the earth have
more abundant cause for thankfulness
than our own, and the day Should be
observed with more than usual devout-
BESS.

If further evidence were needed of
the coming of good times than that we
already have in longer hours and more
men at work, says the Ansonia Senti-
nel, we have it in two local events
which have been given to the public in
the past week. The first is the build-
ing of two large additions to the Ster-
ling Co. ’5 great factories, in Derby.
When people reach the point where
they can afford to buy pianos it is a
satisfactory evidence that they are not
wanting for the necessities of life; that
they are beginning to recover from the
hard times under which they have
been suffering. A few days ago, we
quoted from the “Music TradeReview”
an interview with A. J. Brooks, of the
Huntington ‘Piano 00., of Shelton, in
which he'said that orders were grow-
ingflarger and the business outlook was
bright. The same journal again brings
evidence of the truth of Mr. Brook s
statement by quoting another piano
man who has just returned from the
West, and who finds the same condition
of prosperity everywhere.
Another evidence which we refer to
is the building of the new . silk velvet
factory in Shelton by the Blumenthals.
‘ If there were not satisfactory proof of
the return of good times these saga-
eious business men would not spend
thousands of dollars in Shelton prepar-
ing for a business which must be per-
manent to repay them for their expend-
itures. It _ is a good thing for Shelton
and' it will help all the associated com-
munities, for We are so closely bound
together that we ' must feel a part of
the prosperity which affects any one of
us. There will be a‘ greater _ demand
for dwellings, increased trade V in the
necessities and in the luxuries of life.
It is more money put in circulation in
local business circles.
So we feel optimistic and happy. .We
look at the bright side and rejoice. We
have no patience with those pessimis-
tic people who spend their time wor-
rying over the future, borrowing troub-
le for @hich they pay compound inter-
est in‘ depression of spirits, loss of
sleep and nervous energy.
cheer‘ up. Let us embrace every op-I
portunity that comes and help to make
the little world in which we move bet-
ter for our being in it.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There' IS comfort 1n the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills ever y wish 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys,’ liver, bladder and
eve1 y’ part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine 01
beer and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to win-
ate. The mild and the extraordinaly
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cul es of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
