Thanksgiving.

Considering how many families were
out of town on Thanksgiving day and
how many women are detained at home
by the extra duties imposed by hospitali-
ty, there was large attendance at church
in Wellington. But whether roasting tur-
key by the kitchen range, looking after
the grandchildren or entertaining the lit
tie neices and nephews that could not be
taken to church, there is no doubt that
many hearts were warmly cognizant of
the Divine goodness, who were not num-
bered with public worshipers that day.
Few but would find some quiet half
hour in which the mercies of the year
were reviewed and recognized. Domestic
affection, family ties-eyery feeling and
principle that makes life more sweet and
the home stronger-is stimulated by this
annual festival:
''Sweet thought, pure love and honest living,
Flow from the keeping of Thanksgiving.
Ills then the dead become most dear;
NTis then the living bring most cheer;
"Tis then the best within seems
Aspiring toward our youthful dreams,
And life looks really worth the living,
In the old homestead ut Thanksgiving.
Thanks grim old Puritans, to you,
Who ''buildeth better than We knewl"
True, ye were hsrd and stern, 'tis said,
Ignorant and bigoted.
But one sweet gift is OF your giving
Thanks, sad old pilgrims, for Thanksgiving"

Political and Foreign News.

The Cleveland Leaders news bureau in
Washington is equal to that of any of the
New York papers. The Leader has CON-
modious quarters at 1897 F street, near the
Treasury building, which is in charge of
three correspondents, who will furnish the
paper news the coming year equal in guam
tity TO that of any paper in the land. 1t
has also arranged with the New York Her
aid so that the foreign dispatches of that
paper are to be sent to the Leader, thus
giving it practically special correspond
ent in every capital on the globe. Those
who take the Leader will, therefore, get
not only the important news of the world
but the best political correspondence from
Washington.

Why is it so many suffer from rheuma-
tism, aches, and pains, kidney disease,
liver complaints, heart affections, etc.? 1t
is simply because they will not come and
be healed. ALI disease begin from want
of iron in the blood. This want Of iron
makes the blood thin, watery and impure.
Impure blood carries weakness and dis
tress to every part OF the body. Supply
this lack of Iron by using Browns Iron
Bitters and you will soon find yourself en-
joying perfect freedom from aches, pains
and general ill-health.

To the Editor of the NEW Doxrx1oS;
am glad to see the railroad qucs-
tion again receiving attention through
the columns of the NEw DOMINION. 1t
is question that will not down at
our bidding" The fact is Mononga-
liza needs railroad and will never
be quiet until she gets it, and the
sooner it is built and all controversy
set at rest the better for her people.
now WE CAN eErIT.
We cannot secure railroad by
proving the necessity for 1t, by even
unansweable arguments; and there
is no need OF such proof for all admit
the necessity. What we need is ac-
ton on the part of the people OF our
county. That Kind Of action that
offers free right of way; that puts
the hand in the pocket, and by both
public and private subscriptions aids
and encourages such enterprises.
Without that aid and encouragement
along their lines, perhaps not one in
ten of the roads built or building in
the country would have been con-
structed. We cannot expect to Sc.
cure such benefits at less cost; aud
and II 1t were possible TO do so, are
we so poor in purse and still 50
much poorer in spirit, rs to ask, or
even be willing that the citizens Of
other counties should spend their
money in building road FOR us and
we refuse even to aid them. Let it
never he said.
But Monongaia as county has
said mo Subscriptions" One re-
source is left. The East side has
never faltcrcd, and will still he found
true to her own and the best interests
of the county and state. Let Union
Morgan and Clinton districts, with
tile borough Of Morgantown, in pro
portion to their wealth, vote $50, 600
to the capital stock OF the West Va.
& Pa. II. r. IN the following condi.
tons, viz. that the road be built on
the East side of the river through
these districts and that the work be
done in us short time as can reason
ably be required Of them. This
course will work no injustice to any
portion of the county and will settle
the question NJ once and forever
What say you gentlemen, Of these
districts? Makeup. Tickle an en-.
terprise which will wipe away the re.
proach Of fogyism; Increase the
wealth and population Of the county,
and put money in your own pockets.
