This is a recognized holiday throughout the entire country and should be a day free from labor, and observed with appropriate exercises. We have much to return thanks for this year. Talbot County has been abundantly blessed with a glorious harvest, and good prices for the products. The county is in a better condition than it has been for years past and for this we should be profoundly grateful.
