GIVE THANKS.

Elsewhere will be found the pro-
CARNATIONS of the President of the
United States and the Governor OF
West Virginia setting apart Thurs
day, the 30th inst, as day of thanks
giving to God for his mercles and
blessings. Thanks to the Divine Be.
ing are always proper, either in pros.
perity or calamity, and just now the
average citizen and christian can
well raise his head under calamity's
pressing and the Democratic Con.
gress, and thank God that it is no
worse. Let there be peace, and let
us all be thankful.

SCHOOL ELECTION.

The Democratic leaders did not
put a ticket in the field for members
Of the Board of Education of Mar
tinsburg. We presume they knew
that the voters have had enough of
Democratic administration, especial.
ly in Congress, and that they could
no longer hoodwlnk the voters. If
the leaders and generals will not
fight, they cannot expect the soldiers
to do battle. The voters have learn.
ed, in a very brief period, that their
interests are personal, and their per-
sonality are home interests, and even
in Martinsburg, where they ruthless
ly count out an elected member OF
the council, good citizens will repair
q wrong.

crsnks Not Wanted in Washington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Post
gives warning that cranks of every
description may look for warm re-
ception hereafter when they land in
Washington, and says that SUSPECT
Gus movements on the part of ire
sponsible looking strangers will mean
prompt arrest and incarceration for
the individual. 1t is not believed
that there is serious reason to appre-
bend any attempted violence against
officers of the government, but it is
none the less considered wise to take
the ounce OF prevention that out
weighs the pound of cure.

NEW HOME OF THE Y M. @. A.
The First Gospel Meeting Held Sunday
Afternoon


The capacity of the assembly room
of the new 7. M. G. A. apartments in
the Jacobs block was Sunday after
noon taxed to its utmost to accommo-
date the large number of our young
men and leading business men, who
were present to take part in the first
gospel meeting held in the new quar-
tiers. The exercises were opened
promptly at o'clock by General Sec
rotary Paul, who conducted fifteen
minutes service of song. The singing
was unusually hearty and fine and
was described as an earnest of the
melody of the heavenly choruses. Sew
eral of the local clergy were present
and assisted in eXhortation, prayer
and testimony. The feature of the
meeting, however, was the excellent
and effective talk of the State Secre-
tary, L. A. Coulter, of Charlotte, who
spoke for half an hour on the impor-
tant subject of preparation to Meet
God" He brought out many convin-
cling points and arguments, illustrat-
ing the fact that this cry or admoni-
tion was first powerfully made by the
prophets in their appeal to the jew
ish people to forsake their idols and
return to communion with God who
had so wonderfully blessed them as a
nation. He spoke of the American
country, this commonwealth, and this
city of Winston-Salem as being in
like manner wonderfully blessed in all
material, moral and spiritual things,
and yet many give no time or atten-
tiOQ to this matter

CANA, n. C., March 6.-Now it is
President Cleveland without the sex, -
and ex-President Harrison. Hurrah
Now, with the President, Senate and
House all Democratic we surely will
have some substantial reforms. Let
the good work proceed.
Mr.. J. w. Etchison returned from
Philadelphia last week. He reports
that Mr.. Rowe, who swindled him out
of a car load of lumber, was convicted
for using the q. S. mails for fraudulent
purposes. Sentence had not been
passed on Rowe when Etchison left
for home.
He also reports that the New York
man to whom he shipped a car load of
lumber sometime ago is also swind-
Ter, and that he is likely to be prose
cuted in a similar manner.
Farmers are sowing oats and max
ing preparations generally for the
coming crop, but are somewhat dis
couraged at the price tobacco is bring
ing. They should reduce the acreage
and thus let the demand catch up with
the supply.
