THANKSGIVING.

THE Governor of the Commonwealth
has set apart tomorrow as day Of
Thanksgiving and prayer and requests
that all good citizens observe it as such.
In this land of peace, prosperity and
plenty all OF us have reason to be thank
full and to give thanks. He who pro-
vides for us and all mankind, life, health
and strength, and surrounds us with all
the comforts, beauties and pleasures OF a
prosperous country demands at our hands
an humble submission to His will and to
his divine authority. 1t is meet there
fore that we should repair to our several
places of worship tomorrow and render
thanks to Him, the giver Of all good gifts
unto man, for his mercy and protection
over us.
The past year has been one OF great
prosperity to the News, and we are
thankful for the patronage generous
public has bestowed. We recognize the
divine favor also, which has enabled us
to give to the public a weekly newspaper
in every way worthy OF their friendly
recognition. The people take it because
we cover each week the entire field of
local happenings and events. 1t is our
aim to let nothing of interest to the gen.
eral public escape. Our advertisers are
crowding its columns, because experience
has shown to them that it is the best
medium through which to reach the
public in this entire locality. The News
and its employees therefore will take a
day of rest tomorrow and eat turkey
with the balance of the folks, and like
wise their share OF the other good things
which this generous land affords.

OUR COUNTYS PROSPECTS.

USUALLY in the fall months we look
for a revival in trade. After long, hot,
dry summer, business of all kinds takesa
new imeptus and our merchants and deal
ers take on new life and fresh courage
for the work that is before them. Look
ing back over few years we don't recall
a time so favorable for business and
greater season Of general prosperity
among all classes than surrounds us at
present. Breckenridge people are not
more favorably blessed in this regard
than are her neighbors surrounding her.
Natures bountiful supply has not been
confined to one section or TO one class.
Crops in all sections have made yields
OF unparalleled magnitude. Wheat, corn
and tobacco is in abundance and fair
living is not only at the door Of the rich,
but the poor man also. When such con-
ditions are apparent good times and
more money is bound to prevail.
We still hear the old croakers grumb-
ling little, but they do so from the
force of habit. The young man who is
starting out on a line Of business for him
self need not go outside of Breckenridge
county to find employment. Texas and
the great west may present alluring
charms for the young and uninitiated
country lad, and do often, and many are
led away upon the idea that fortune is
just at their finger tips there, but older
heads know the folly OF their notions.
For sure, steady and substantial growth
in desirable business, we are as apt to
find it at home as in the settlements OF
the far west.
Sixty miles of railroad now traverses
our county and the traffic and trade il is
soon TO develop will necessarily bring on
new movements and new conditions.
There is two dollars in circulation now
to where there was one two years ago by
reason of it. And yet, the money,
doesn't seem TO come fast, but the stream
is steady and we all feel it.
Looking over our resources in timber,
NOdl anu SlOIt IL NOulu hctil W
give employment to both labor and capt.
tai for years 10 come. The natural pro-
ducts to be taken from the earth are a
county's main reliance for successive de-
velopment But for the one item of tim
Der alone that has been taken from
section of our county the past year there
would have been a stringency in money
matters among the people not easily re-
medied. So we see that where we fail
in one item it can generally be supplied
by another. Taking it all in all we think
our county is now on aroad OF prosperi-
ty That which benefits one sections
helps another Here in Cloverport We
have the mandatory of brick which is
likely in a few years.to call for an invest
ment of thousands of dollars. In anoth-
or section the timber interest or the coal
interest may attract attention and call for
investment So il is our interests may
become varied yet mutually dependent
one upon another and every mans duty
should be to speak in behalf OF his own
county.

The people here are complaining con-
siderably over the poor accommodations
furnished them by the railroad. They
say the depot is not sufficiently large to
handle the freight shipped in and out of
here.
Mr.. Edgar Bennett in connection with
Marshal Morris, is arranging to open a
stone quarry on Mr.. Benefits farm.
They have already contracted to furnish
$4,000 worth of stone. They. will work
about thirty hands. The stone is of a
very excellent quality.
Mr. f. X. Rhodes and Charley Miller,
who were appointed committee to look
after the building of bridge across
Monastery Ford, made their report.
They were further directed to receive
bids on the cost of building either an
iron or wooden bridge and report at
January term.
The motion to appoint bridge Com
missioner was postponed until the Janu-
airy term. Public opinion is that the
court chould appoint reliable Commits
sioner to look after the bridges of the
county. Leaving this matter in the
hands of the magistrates of the several
districts is poor economy, if that is the
point to be made. 1t is not the business
of magistrate to repair bridges. Hav-
ing as many valuable and costly bridges
as we have in the county, it seems that
Commissioner should be appointed.

THE PARsoN GOT 1T.
He Reproves His Congregation and 70
Talked to I'm Return.

He Reproves His Congregation and 70
Talked to I'm Return.
From the South Wales News.
A somewhat unusual scene in an Episcopsl
church in Cardiff occurred not long since n
appears that the pastor took what he thought
was a seasonable opportunity TO reprove the
members of his church for their non-attesa-
ance at Sunday morning worship. He i'm
partially included his own family. As soon 20
he had concluded, his own daughter rose up
and said that her father when he first woke
could not rise unless his hot water IVES
brought and the towel was placed under b.,
nose. She related how boots had TO be cleaned
fires lighted and the breakfast prepared. and
then went on 10 describe how the worthy
clergyman required his book and his coak.
and his gloves, and his hat and his stick
and-his cake and his wine, before he wee
ready to start TO his work.
This was all detailed with minuteness ana
volubility. The reverend father kept No
servant and there was the household work -
be done, and, besides. he insisted upon q hot
dinner served with punctuality. Under thess
circumstances, the lady pleaded, was il pos
ible for her TO get TO worship on n Sunday
morning? The sympathies Of the audience
were with the daughter. Ii is not likely thst
the good parson will soon repeat his COM
plant of non-attendance.
