Resettact and the White Store invite daily visitors to shop during a sale offering dresses at half regular price and suits at New York cost. They claim to sell anything and everything at actual cost, urging customers in Jackson to buy and leave with bargains.
Miss Emerson and Giles Starr share a snowy train halt toward a feast at Sharpsburg as their feelings unfold. Augusta King derails plans with Val Starr, while Emerson and Giles exchange confessions and laughter over a weighing of hearts. They finally savor a private Thanksgiving with Mary as the engine nears.
A playful exchange spans multiple papers with Thanksgiving humor and a sobering note. Mme Gobbler mourns a father who attended a dinner, while Shanghai reflects on gratitude and Gosling asks what we have to be thankful for.
A compact history traces the observance of thanksgiving from early Leyden in 1575 through colonial fasts and renewals, Washington and Lincoln proclamations, and modern presidential and municipal proclamations, noting the last Thursday in November as the traditional date. The piece closes with a light cartoon quip about grandmothers and thanks.
