A most impressive thanksgiving service will be held at the Randolph county at 12 o’clock, noon, next Wednesday when pause will be made for two minutes to return thanks for the bountiful crops with which the county has been blessed this season.
At a signal given at 12 o’clock sharp, everything in the fairgrounds, every person, show or concession, will remain perfectly quiet for two minutes while ministers of the town and county will return thanks from their different stations within the grounds.
This service will be in keeping with similar services held in various parts of the State this year. Much has been said about a similar service in this count, and it has been deemed that one day during the fair would be an appropriate time in order that the people of the entire county could join in the expression of gratitude and thanksgiving.
