The Presidents Thanksgiving Proclama.

The American people have always abundant cause
to be thankful to Almighty God, whose watchful care
and guiding hand have been manifested in every
stage of their National lfe guarding and protecting
them in time of peril safety leading them in the
hour of darkness and danger 1t is fitting and proper
that Nation thus favored should dav in every

acknowledge the goodness of God aud return thanks
to him for his precious gifts.
Therefore 1, Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the Goth day of November in
stan day of public thanksgiving and prayer, and
do invoke the observance of same by all the people of
the land that day. Let all secular business be
pended, and let the people assemble in their usual
places of worship and with prayer and songs praise
devouty testify their gratitude to the Giver of every
good and perfect gift for all that he has done in
the year that has passed. for our preservation a
united Nation and for deiverance from the shock
and danger of political convulsion for the blessings
of peace and for safety and quiet, while and
rumors of wars have agtated and affected other ma

of pestilence, which in other lands has claimed its
dead by thousands and filed the streets with mourn

the husbandman and increase nations wealth,

And let there also be the day thus apart

we give thanks and enjoy the comforts which have
crowned lives, that truly grateful hearts
clined to deeds of charity, and that kind ana

Editor Jackson Standard, jackson, Ohio:
In your issue of last week my name

the streets of Jackson, and a contact with
the police. wish to say that there is a
mistake some place, as l was in no-wise
connected with such. MyIname has been

P. S.-Please publish the above and

[The Record in the Mayors Office at
this place shows that Park James was
arraigned on the 21st day of October, on
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, that he plead guilty to the
charge, and was fined So and costs. Sen
tence was suspended for few days, and
on Oct. Goth, he came in and paid. This
man who was fined must have been play
ing Park James, for a joke on the latter
gentleman. The resemblance is said, by
parties acquainted with Mr.. James, to be
very striking and both men claim to live
in the same neighborhood.-E STAND

In the last Lesson we had the account OF
Jonah having been cast into the sea and
swallowed up by great fish which the
Lord had prepared. Three days and
| nights did he remain in the fish, during
which time he prayed to the Lord earn
estly. The Lord spake to the fish, which
| vomited Jonah up on the dry land. Then
the word of the Lord came the second
time unto Jonah, commanding him to go
to Nineveh and preach to the people of
that great city. This time Jonah was
glad to obey the Divine command, be-
cause he had thoroughly repented of his
disobedience and was now earnest in the
mission upon which he was sent.
Arrived in Nineveh, he went about the
streets, an odd-looking figure dressed in a
garb of hair-cloth. His message was not
long, but it was significant: "Yet forty
days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown"
The weird prophecy struck terror into
the hearts of the King and his people, as
there were already numerous revolts and
threatening dangers in the Kingdom.
The King saw the danger and commanded
his people to turn unto God, and cry out
nightly. This form of worship would
not have found favor, if merely as a COM
pulsory form of worship, but the people
themselves were thoroughly frightened,
and in earnest. They did not worship in
the light of any promise, but threw them
selves upon the mercy of the Lord, and
He heard them, and the Kingdom was
not overthrown. Jonah did his work
thoroughly, he performed his mission
faithfully; but it required very severe
discipline on the part of the Lord to COM
pei him to do his duty. Gods children
should be moved by implicit faith in the
Father, to do his bidding, without regard
to worldly considerations. Only to know
that the work to be done is the Fathers
pleasure, is enough to inspire the faithful
child to untiring effort. Jonah hesitated
to take the word of life to a sinking peo-
pie, but bitterly repented of his error,
and did the bidding of his Master. We
should be eager to carry the word of
life and light to the needy, without incur
ring the d1spleasure of the Father by
hesitancy or neglect of known duty.

What Can Be Done 2
A SERIOUS PROBLEM CONFRONTING
The OFFICERS !

The question of what to do with the
criminals arrested by the corporation
authorities, has come to be a serious one.
Men have been arrested from time to
time, fines assessed, and the prisoners
sent to Jail to "board it out" at so much
per day. Just how far this Furnishes the
criminal for the offense, may be easily
conjectured. To send a man to COM
Portable Jail, especially in the winter sea-
son, is no punishment to the criminal,
but costs the corporation so much per
day to pay his board. Suppose, for in
stance, that a prisoner is sent to Jail to
serve out fine, at the rate of seventy
| five cents per day, and the corporation
has to pay fifty cents per day for his
board. He really pays nothing to the
corporation for violating its ordinances,
while the corporation pays fifty cents a
day for the privilege of keeping the pris-
oner, in good style.
This thing has been carried to such an
extent that it has come to be farce.
Almost every prisoner who is brought
before the Mayor defiantly notifies the
officer that he will 'board it OUT in jail
Even those who have money in their
pockets will do this. 1t is about time
that this picnic was broken up. Large
sums of money are paid for work upon
the streets, while able-bodied men are
lying idle in the Jail. "But you cannot
get man to work them," is the excuse.
This brings up the question whether it
would not be profitable to employ a COM
petent man, even through it required the
payment of good salary as a superin-
tendent of chain-gang. The criminals
have come to understand that they can
not be made to work, and laugh at the
officers who threaten them with the law.
This dream of Ehabitual violators of law |
should be abruptly dispelled.
Even taking the view that men cannot |
be compelled to work out their fines and |
costs, there is still another way of remov-
ing some of the enjoyments of prison
life Let the prisoners who are ordered
to prison to serve out their fines, be
chucked into the city prison, adjoining
the Mayors office, and let them serve out
their terms there. 1t will not be quite so
pleasant, but it will have better effect.
That costly prison was not built merely
to let drunken men sober-up in. 1t is out
of the question to pay out corporation
funds for boarding prisoners in the coun-
ty Jail, when the town has good prison
of it's own. These are merely sugges-
tions, but it might be well to consider
them carefully.

Our young friend Pat. O'Maley-who
was here a few weeks ago on a visit-had
a five-dollar joke played on him in Gin
cinnati, one day last week. He met a
very nice old man at the depot in Cincin-
natl, who wanted to borrow five dollars
to lift soWe packages. He handed Pat. a
check for $3.50 as security. After Pat.
got tired of waiting for the nice old gen.
tleman to come back, he told detective,
and the next day the old fellow was
caught while trying to swindle another
man.

J., III. NJ.

My soul leaps up with joyous bound,
To hear the gospel call,
My weary heart new JOY hath found
Beyond sins gloomy thrall;
Now angel music fills the breeze,
From countless harps of gold,
As, through the Autumn-tinted trees,
Its beauteous waves are roll'd.
Across the thickly-drifted sky
The gloomy clouds dispel.
And far and near. and low and high,
Their joys the Heavens tell;
see a sunbeam reaching down
To cheer the doubling way,
Or lighting up with Glory's crown,
A little chi. at play.
1 see a rainbow arched above,
With many -colored hue
painted emblem of His love,
. To every creature true;
Then falls the sweet, refreshing shower,
And, flashing in the light,
On many softly -blushing flower,
A crown of jewels bright.
see the clouds with silver lined,
A picture bright and fair,
Where art immortal hath combined
To trace Gods glory there;
All mortal griefs are swallowed mp
In glad, Inspiring thought,
JOY fills the soul-refreshing cup
In Heavenly beauty wrought.
The joys of earth-how swift they ny,
Like chaff before the blast
A moment seen, then rushing by,
Lost in the glimmering past;
look beyond the troubled sea
Ofmortal hopes and fears,
There beaming brightly, silently,
The star of hope appears.
My Lord, lift in feeble praise
My faltering voice to Thee,
1 know the glory of Thy ways
For Thou hast set me free;
IT'S joy delightful thus to own
The glories of Thy word
'Tis rapture thus, beneath the Throne,
To praise the Righteous Lord.

Over the organ hung the wedding
bell" large bell made of evergreens, in
terspersed with flowers, and arranged in
side so that it would ring. This was a
decidedly ingenious piece of workman
ship, and was made, we believe, by Mrs.
DR.. Ewing and daughters. Complete ar
rangements had been made for this Recep-
tion, and there was nothing lacking
which could contribute to the entire hap
piness of the company. After the rooms
had become well filled, Rev. F. S. Davis,
of the M. E. Church, led in prayer, during
which petitions doubtless went up from
every heart for the happiness of the
household, and especially the young
couple in whose honor the guests had as
sembled. Then a magnificent supper was
served. After this, Mrs. G. G. James
took her place at the organ. Mrs. James
is an excellent performer, and treated the
company to some fine playing. Mr. E. G..
Powell-who has few, if any, superiors as
vocalist, in this community, was called
upon to sing, and under his leadership,
and the accompaniment of Mrs. James,
the company generally joined in the sing
ing, which took a wide range, from sacred
songs and hymns to patriotic airs and
army songs.
The company remained until late
hour, dispensing about eleven o'clock.
This was one of the happiest social events
in the history of Jackson, and DR.. Ewing
and family are to be congratulated, not
only upon the happy marriage of a mem
Der of the family, but upon the admirable
success of the Reception.
