Everything is quiet here, except
the small boy; he is giving the
turnip patches prompt attention;
look out boys or you might take
the delerium tremens from thus
indulging.
The candidates are no more,
and consequently we don't have
much to talk of.

W. F. Ashley, of Hurdland,

Tuesday at the Rock Creek ceme-

was buried by that order.
Since beginning this we learn
that our wishes have been COM
piled with viz: a newspaper in

Kirksville is the man that breaks
the news to us, from this city

others of whatever occupation. We
extend to Mr.. Link The hand OF
congratulation, and welcome him

ber, the occasion was one long
to be remembered, and his child
rem gathered under the parental
roof, and with thirty-two grand
children made a goodly company.
Four grandchildren and six great
grandchildren were absent
Those present were Jacob Diehl

ly, John Diehl and family, Phil
ip Diehl and family, Louis 7.

born in Bavaria, Germany, and
emigrated to st. Louis No, in
an early day, removing thence to
Adair county, arriving here May

life has won for him many friends

The Origin of Thanksgiving.

As if to resist the bitterness and
sadness of the failing year, the
most genial and kindly of all of
our festivals occurs at the
end of November. Its very name
Thanksgiving, betrays its pious
brigham origin nnmixed with
any prior tradition. The great
Christian festival of Christmas,
stretches backwards to yule logs
and mistletoes, to Scandinavian
and Britain heathenry: nor dose it
lose by the graceful happy asso-
citation. But Thanksgiving is pure
ly Puritan. 1t is the good warm
heart, conquering the tough head
and ascetic manner of the old pill
grims.
In Elliot's New England His
tory you may read that in 1923,
after the harvest, Bradstreet sent
out a compay to shoot game to fur
nish dainty feast of rejoicing af-
ter the labors of the colony. Hav-
ing followed the directions of the
governor, and the principle of the
excellent Mrs. Glass, they cooked
their game and invited Ma.sasoit
and some ninety other savages,
and all fell to and devoured the
feast, thanking God "for the
good world and the good things in
it."
1t might be dangerous to stake
ones reputation upon the asser-
ton that Thanksgiving is a strict
ly religious feast. Itis a day of
practical rejoicing in the good
things of this world, and there
may even be people whose mouths
are fuller of turkey than their
hearts of thanks. But every year
the area Of the feast enlarges.-
Every year there are moro people
who sit down to "groaning boards
as the reporters express it, upon
occasions of civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving! Long
and long may his hospitable board
be spread. Long and long may
he stand, benignant, at his door,
calling in the poor and the weary,
the blind and the lame, even as
the old Puritans called in Massa-
soft and ninety other savages.-
Rich in blessings and reverend in
years, may good old Thanksgiving
last with the continent, knitting
closer the ties of family and friend
ship; its cheerfulness beaming like
the smile of a patriarch; its charity
burning like a central fire, warm
ing all the year and lighting up
every dark day of care and sorrow

The Mind Cure for the OPIUM Habit.
From the British end Colonial Druggist.
There can be little doubt that
much of the distress resulting
from abstinence from an ac,ustom-
ed stimulant, whatever it be, is
due to imagination, and in some
cases, victims of the habit have
cured themselves by the exertion
simply of u strong determination
to take no more. In large num-
Der of cases, however, the indul-
gence has produced a complete par
alysis of will power, and then some
method of judicious medical reat-
ment is necessary, although even
then success does not always fol-
low. An account of an ingenious
mode of effecting the cure of
long-indulged opium habit is CIV
en- in the Medical Worldly DIR. r.
81. Dalton. The patient was first
allowed for a week to take her us
ual quantity of morphine in the
form of a mixture containing also
five drops of nux yomica and one
quarter grain quinine in each dose
and colored tincture of lavender.
Then for twenty weeks the amount
of morphine was lessened every
seven days by one-twentieth, and
at the same time, the tincture in
creased by one drop and the quin-
Inc by one-quarter grain at each
chang, until the morphine was
left entirely out. In the mean
time, however, the quinine was not
augmented after the ninth week,
but ten drops of elixir of vitriol
added to each dose taken after
wards. The diminution of NOR
phine was minute and gradual, and
the taste being the same, the pa
tient was unable to detect any
change whatever during the four
months treatment. AS soon as
DIR. Dalton became satisfied that
the habit was entirely in the mind
he announced that she had not
tnken particle Of morphine for
two weeks. As soon as she under
stood this the spell was broken,
and she wanted no more morphine
her health had become very much
improved, and her gratitude seem.
unbounded. DR.. Dalton thinks
that if recourse to stimulants be
prevented during the curing of the
opium h abit any physician may
succeed with this plan.

OUR COUNTY COURTS.

The Judges composing our coun-
ty courts are elected to and occu-I
py the most responsible positions
of any of our county officials. We
believe that the voters, as a rule,
and often the officials themselves
do not appreciate the responsible
ty that rests on the county courts
of our stats. They are the guar
dians of every taxpayer in the
state and through their hands the
entire business of the counties must
pass. Too often it is considered
of little moment if the public
crib is plundered, hence they
must ever be on the alert for de-
signing men, who know nothing
but to carry out their own selfish
purposes even though the tax-pay-
ers suffer by it. Illegal claims are
often presented and an unscrupu-
lous attorney, by the manipula-
tions of law, can, sometimes, per-
suade court to allow a claim that
is altogether unjust and illegal.
AT other times, while the inten-
tention of the law is perfectly
plain, an interested party may
give it double construction and
thus defraud the tax payers out of
thousands of dollars. For example,
the word has gone cut that both
circuit and county clerks in many
counties of the state have retained
not only the fees allowed them by
W as salary, but they have
Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1886-11-19

pocketed the surplus that came
into their hands. The clerks, it
seems, have bean allowed by the
county courts, in many instances,
to put their own construction on
the law and by this means there is
aloss ofmany thousands of dollars
annually to the taxpayers of the
state.
1t is due to the people that
every law be enforced to the letter,
and if the law is a bad one it
should be repealed, and the quick
est way to repeal bad law is to
enforce it. And where the law is
such that it may be given double
meaning, the county court should
at least consult the highest author
ity in the state as to its proper
meaning, and thus prevent the in
interests of the taxpayers being
trodden under foot without ar
effort to discover whether it is or is
not illegal.
