last night, to discover our brother local o.
the Muscatine Courier, on the night train
from Iowa City, taking huge comfort "nn-
der difficulties" in trying to convince him
self that he Was 10 sleeping car. With
marital resignation he Was returning to
duty. having spent Thanksgiving with his
wife's relatives. Big thing, happy Upham.

THs Muscatins Journal said the other
day that Musca,inc hadn't dollar in her
Treasury, snd that her orders we're at ESQ
35 per cent. discount. The Courier denies
i. and alleges that Muscatins financially, is
the best of city 10 the State. OF course
hey both know. At oil cvents, if the
C,urier's statement that "Muscatiue's com
munications are worth more than DAven-
port" 10 correct. that city is just rolling in
wealth. We cant deny it.

THANKSGIVING Day Was quite generally
observed here Yesterday. Business Was al
N st totally suspended, and the religious
services at ths various churches, ia th,
forenoon, wero we'll attended. The wealth
er- drizzly aud muldy-was favorable Il
indoor enjoymsnts. Oysters sad turkeys
with the usual concomitants, gave no httl,
occupation to the greater portion Of tn,
population. Good dinners were the orde
# the day, and they were extensively rel
shed. Sociabilty. in many cases, contrib
uted its mite to highten the pleasures Of til
day, and many were happy.
Let US hope, 10 this con acstion. that ever
home, every heart, in tho State-yea, il
the couutry-had cause on that day 10 b
thankful, and rejoice in some. way, for tn
blessings Of the past year.

asking the Legislature at its coming sessio
to repeal tho "wine aud beer clause Of tn
prohibitosy liquor Law. We have since learn
ID that they are being extensively sigue
