Ben Harrison was very late this
year with his Thanksgiving Procla-
nation. 1t seems that the recent
elections knocked him out and rat
tied him so bad that he didn't get
over it in time to issue his Procla-
nation until very late. He prob
ably would have forgotten it all to-
gether if somebody had not remind.
ed him of it. AS it was he didn't
get 1t out till most of the Governors
of the States had issued theirs,
whereas the Presidents should have
been the first one issued. 1t may
be however that Grandpa's Hat
thought that the Republican party
hadn't much to be thankful for.

There is some fun on hand for
our next Legislature, rs it will have
another U. s. Senator to elect, and
will probably get nothing done in
the way of law-making, or unmak-
ing rather. We hope that no such
crank as this man Dorr, from
Webster, will break in, and we feel
thankful that Daniel B. Lucas is
safely shelved on the judicial Bench.

Southern newspapers are agita-
ting the question of raising fund
for Mrs. Jefferson Davis. She has
been unable to recover anything as
yet from her Publishers for the
history of her distinguished hus-
band as written by herself and pub
lished by Belford and Co., of New
York, who are now insolvent. They
do not deny their Indebtedness to
her, but claim they are unable to
pay it and whether she will ever be
able to recover anything or not is a
question to be settled by the courts
as Mrs. Davis has employed able
counsel and has brought suit. She
had expected to receive enough
money from the publication of her
book to make her independent.

we nave been asked why II was
that the report Of the Kingwood
School did not appear IN the ARGUS
as we'll as the Journal. 1t seems
that no report was sent to the AR
GUS and nothing whatever said
about 1t to that paper. This seems
rather strange, since the ARGUS has
always treated the Principal with a
great deal Of courtesy, and we can
only account for 1T on the ground
that the Principal has allowed his
political prejudice to interfere with
his good sense in the matter. While
the Argus is intensely Democratic
and is proud of it, it has never al
lowed it's politics to interfere with
its publication Of educational mat
ter and it has always made spe-
clalty Of the latter and has taken
great pains to publish items of in
tersst in regard to the schools
and teachers of the county, more SO
than any other paper in the county.
We can conceive Of no good reason
whatever that the Principal of the
school here can have in ignoring
the ARGUS in this matter, since
there is hardly a family In town
but what reads the ARGUS and we
are quite sure that report of the
school would be read by as many
Of the school patrons when publish
ed In the ARGUS as when published
in the Journal. As a matter of
course the report should be handed
to both papers. The ARGUS can get
along very we'll without these reports
and is never at loss for matter for
publication, in fact something is
crowded out Of its columns every
week. We have only written at
this length in regard to the matter
since number of people have ask
ed why the ARGUE did not publish
the report and when told that it
did not get chance were incliRed
to critieise the Principal. II he
has anything to say in the way Of
explanation, we are assured that
the columns of this paper stand
wide open for him.

oourtshIp in the Year 1000.

While the unmarried women of the
year 1900, whether young or old, will en-
JOY the dignity and independence of the
bachelor of TO day, says Edward Bellamy
in the Ladies' Home Journal for February,
the insolent prosperity at present enjoyed
by the latter viii have passed into salutary,
if sad, eclipse. No longer profting by the
effect of the pressure Of economic necess-
ity upon women, to make him indispen-
sable, but dependent exclusively upon his
intrinc attractions, instead of being able
to assume the fastidious airs of sultan
surrounded by langushing beauties, he
will be fortunate if he can secure by his
merits the smiles of one.
In the year 1900 no man, whether lover
or husband, may hope to win the favor of
maid or wife save by desert. While the
poet, justly experimenting the ideal proprie-
ties, has always persisted in representing
man at the feet of woman, woman has
been. in fact, the dependent and pensioner
OF man Nationalism will justify the poet
and satisfy the eternal fitness of things by
bringing him to his marrow. bones in
earnest. But, indeed, we may be sure that
II the year 1000 he will need no COM
pulsion to assume that attitude.

Jefferson DAVIS MEMoln.
The Story of His Life Written by
His Wise.

The Memoir of Jefferson Davis,
by His Wife. published in two volumes,
by Bedford Company, New York, is more
than the mere story Of a mans life, even
though that man was perhaps the most
prominent figure of the remarkable Pc
riod in which he lived. jefferson Davis
was the heart and head of the Confeder-
acy, the representative of those princi-
pies to uphold which the South fought
for four years in one of the bitteIest
struggles of modern times, aud these
volumes, which tell the story of his Ca
reer, form also the most perfect history
OF the Southern States, the most COM
plete exposition of their Political and
social status which has ever been pub
lished. Before his death Jefferson
Davis contemplated an autobiography
which should place his career, his char
acter and his public acts before the
world in their true light. lie prepared
many notes and memoranda, collected
many letters and documents, and had
made some progress in the work when
it was cut short by his death He left
it, however, in such shape that Mrs.
Davis was enabled to proceed with and
complete the undertaking on the lines
laid down by Her husband. The work
may therefore be said to be largely au-
photographed, and Mrs. Davis has
wisely made use of MIR. Davis's own let
