The Democrat at Lennox makes l.:
debut under the new manager looking
bright and clean, and wears a new make
up, but does not give its politics. How

-Wiseacres and phllauthopists tell Us
the world will be consumed by flames.
B'lieve it? Seemingly-of late-thert
isn't enough material in the universe
that'll burn, or at least we tail to discover
it. Some one please state where the es-
| sence Of "blastcd" coal mine can be
had near at hand:
We learn that F. NJ Rowley is laying
the foundation for store building, 4OxG0
two story high, on Main street Beloit, and
| that when completed will be occupied by
him with dry goods, moving his stock
from this town. Since Mr.. Rowley first
embaked in trade at this place he has
made many warm friends who will wish
him success in his old field of business.
Last Monday night the lamp in pris-
oncr Burke's cell set blind which
hung up in the window on fire, tn burn
ing of which terribly charred the casing.
The alarm was Immediately given by out
side parties who was attracted by the
light, and the fire extinguishei, The
lamp is said to have been all ablaZe,
which, as it was near the window, caught
the blind. The timely arrival perhaps,
saved explosion of lamp, and the court
house from being burned.
Remember the entert ainmcnt al court
house tonight, and 60. This is no tray
cling troupe, but one gotten up by those
who are interested in home aftalrs.-thc
building Of a church parsonage-ard for
this reason every one, little and big,
should feel in duty bound to 90 and in
crease the crowd and finance. The ad-
mission is small, IS cents covers the bill
for reserved seats, while IS cents will give
you an easy and comfortable place little
back, TO watch the performance. Go and
feast your eyes on the Esprit Of 1876 as
you won't regret it. And then comes the
side ST lifting farce OF The 1.-TWO Puddi-
footS," a play which for its originality and
comicalitlcs cannot be excelled. The
Club has given much care and attention
to rehearsals for some time past, and will
be able 10 make it prove success, and

To-day is the National Thanksgiving
day and it should be fully recognized and
observed by all, as tine people of southern
Dakota anc especially Lincoln county
and Canton, have much to be thankful
for. The past year has been fraught with
many scenes of gladness, intermingled,
Of course, with the dark mantle Of death,
bidding "weary ones come up higher"
and abundantly supplied by products Of
the soil, and the recipients of many other
temporal gifts, and why should not praise
be given to HIM who control the wind
aad wave," the giver Of all good? But
while assembling around we'll supplied Ia
bles of luxury and comfort in your sever
al homes, forget not the many who are
destitute, even in this land of plenty,
homeless, friendiess neighbor per
chance, who the pitiless wave Of misfor-
tune has carried adrift from these home
scenes-and extend gratuitously in this
direction. There will be services held
in all the churches at the hour Of II
o'clock, and let all meet and render up
thanks to the King OF earth and heaven,
thus sowing the seed for the future harvest
when the sands of time shall have run
ushering all into the great circle Of I'M
limited hereafter
