We learn from gentleman living at Belle
view that it has been intimated that a'blnd
tiger" may make bis lair in or about that
place in the near future. Wecannot believe
that the b. t. W I'll be so audacious: but, if
so, good citizens, let him have a short shrift
and long rope, metaphorically speaking.
The fair domain of Iron county must not be
devastated by any of the tribe. Should he
make the attempt despite good advice and
| fair warning, however, he will get a whole
some experience. Whether, as Sam Waller
says 'it's worth While goin' through so much
to gain so little," is another matter.
| We think Prosecuting ATTORNEY Sheets of
| WAYNE county went little out of his way in
giving Mr. HI. n. Holiday certificate OF
good character on the "check" question.
Mr.. s. Is the man to prosecute on behalf of
| the people, whose servant he is supposed
to be, and he ought to keep out of all en-
tangling alliances with supposed violatOrs
| of the law-either that, or get out of his Of
| flee so that it may be filled by man who is
not handicapped with verdict of acquittal
before the hearing of the evidence. Mr..
Holiday may be proved to be as innocent
of the charges against him, as child unborn,
but Mr.. Sheets is not the man to say so in
advance of the legal proof.
Mr.. w. A. Stamey, who lives near Annap-
oils, called in TO see us yesterday, and pre-
scented US some fine apples of his growing
picked from trees raised from the seed.
They are of two varieties, names not known,
but of excellent flavor and fine keepers.
One is beautiful tint of red, and the other
golden yellow. At the same time MIR. ).
brougb: us blacksnake skin measuring six
feet and ten inches. 1t was found by Mr..
Geo. McClOud, a granite cutter, a few days
ago, on a flat rock on the side of Stoney
Mountain, and lay just as his snakeship had
shed it. Mr.. McCloud sends 1t to us as
specimen of snake growth in Southeast Mis-
souri,, and we have caused it to be exhibited
l. al shn
warranted to neither stretch the truth nor
the length of the cast-off epidermis.
Thanksgiving was very generally observed
in the Valley. The stores closed before
noon, and all other business places, except
the restaurants and the saloons, suspended
operations during the entire day. The post
office received and sent off the mails morn
ing, noon and evening, but was closed tight
as wax in the intervening hours. The land
offices also gave thanks, leisurely, taking all
the day for the service. The public schools
were closed also. Services were held in the
Presbyterian church in the morning, and at
the Methodist church in the evening: all the
denominations merging into one congrega-
ton during the day. Rev. Father Wernert
officiated at the Arcadia College Chapel, and
fair sized congregation took part in the
exercises. The observance of the day grows
with the advance of time, and it is well.
Americans are not overburdened with days
of rest.
The usual shooting for turkeys
were on hand last Thursday, and all day
long the devoted fowls stood up before the |
muzzles of the rifles of sportsmen who
cracked away at "ten cents a shot or three |
for quarter" We are womanish enough |
to hold and assert that that sort of "sport"
is cruel and demoraizing, and if there is no
law prohibiting it, so much the worse for
the law makers. BY the rules of the match,
a hit is not hit, unless the shot takes effect
aoove the knee, and in several cases last
Thursday turkeys were wounded several
times before being finally despatched. Such
"sport'' is not manly, but cruel and vicious
in Its tendencies, and ought to be abolished
by the good taste of christian people, even
if the law does not take cognizance of it
and prohibit it. Come, boys, find some 9TH
err way of amusing yourselves-at least on a
day set apart to acknowledge the bounties
and mercies of Providence.
Thanksgiving was quite gala day at the
giving to the Most High was celebrated and
the TIE Deum sung the pupils enjoyed rec
reation day, which was terminated by a
grand musical entertainment at p. NJ. The
programmes for the occasion were neatly |
printed by the pupils pursuing the branches
of stenography and type-writing. The or

The young ladies who took active part in

the thoroughness of their education.
