Cemetery Notice.

The management Of the South Gem
etery have necessarily entailed great
expense in which every person who
have relatives buried there-Outside
Of the potter's field-are directly in
terested. This expense has accrued in
the surveying and plating off OF
every lot in the cemetery, and must
be paid at once. The laborer Is
worthy Of his hire. The original
price for lots 2SxS0 feet, was put at
a.. 90, a price insufficient to bear ex-
penses. But that everyone may have
an equal showing, it has been deemed
advisable 10 continue the present
price for 30 days from this date, after
which all lots unsOld will be held at
siO each. Every resident in Ardmore
and vicinity is directly interested In
this matter, and your appreciation OF
the management, and concurrence in
the foregoing is earnestly hoped Tor.
A plat of the cemetery. drawn by Mr..
Ressler, who surveyed every lot, can
be found at my Office on Caddo street
where lots can be selected and re-
ceipts for same obtained.
This notice applies alike TO thoSe
who already hold lots, as on no ac
count will receipts be given until the
money is paid. .

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.
A Little History to Take with Your
Turkey.

The date Of the first observance Of
this distinctively American institution
has been a matter Of some dispute. A
writer in an exchange has been to
some trouble to ascertain the facts and
states them as follows:
The first observance Of a day Of
thanksgiving, formally recommended
by the civil authorities, occurred in
Leyden, Holland, October 3, 1915, it
being the first anniversary Of the de-
liverance Of that city from siege.
In July, 1923, a day of fasting and
prayer was appointed on account Of
drought. Rain came abundantly while
they were praying, and the governor
appointed a day Of thanksgiving which
was observed with religious exercise.
The Charlestown records show sim
, liar change of fast day into Thanks
giving in 1851, on account Of the ar
rival Of supplies from Ireland.
DR.. Franklin tells us that in time
of great dependency among the set
tiers of New England it was proposed
| in one Of their public meetings to pro-
claim fast An aged farmer rose and
spoke of their provoking heaven with
their complaints, and of the cause
| they had for thanksgiving. He then
made a motion that instead of appoint
ing day of fasting, they should ap-
point a day of thanksgiving. The
assembly readily agreed.

the colonies to appoint an annual

enough to bring the question into the
courts for a settlement of the partner.
ship. Once in the courts their raca
was run.
The cases thus came to the atten-
ton of the English government. and
the government brought the conspira-
tors into court on its own account.
1t was shown that the 'TOwnley esq
tate was in the air. Thomas, who iS
regarded as the dupe Of Jaquess. was
convicted of fraudulent practices and
sentenced to five years penal servi-
tude. But Jaquess the principal. had
managed his case so shrewdly thas
there was not evidence enough to con-
Wet him. His case. therefore. was
continued until witnesses could be Sc
cured from the United States. where
his victims resided. Sir Julian Paunce-
, tote took hold of the case and about
a month ago he appealed to the state
department. for assistance. He offered.
on behalf of the British government.
to defray the expenses of any wit,
nesses who might be willing to go to
London, if the United States govern
ment would only lend its assistance
in tracing them out and putting. the
English officials in communication
with them. The case was put in the
hands of Chief Hazen of the secret
service. Strange as it may seem.
Chief Hazen found the greatest diff
Guilty in inducing JaQuess' victims to
acknowledge themselves. and even
when their identity was discovered he
had hard work to obtain copies of the
fraudulent bonds and certificates OF
stock.
Finally the trail was struck I'm
Evansville, and four prominent BUSH
ness men were induced to make the
Journey. On their arrival the Napo-
leonic Jaquess will again be brought
to trial, and there will be an end to
the great contest for the fictitious
Townley estates. 1t is said that most
of the dupes of Jaquess still cherish
the belief that he is entirely honorable
and that the estate still awaits them
on the other shore. and that the Brit
ish government is taking steps to keep
the multitude Of deserving TownleyS
out of their own.

WINTER.

1t is the car of winter drawing nigh:
The withered leaves cling to the frosty
ground,
The waters sluggish in their channels
lie
Their edge with icy fringe encom-
passed round.
Through the clear air we hear the
woodman's axe
Sounding the knell of many a dying
tree.
The hardened earth it's bosom can't
relax,
To take it's dead from mundane fet.
ters free.
The blighted garden shrinks before the
That from it's brumal throne it's rays
emits;
The hungry kline Ger barren meadows
run,
The songless bird in leafess bushes
sits.
The naked forest like an exiled king,
Mute as a statue, mutters not & sound,
It's shivering limbs a moment feel the
sting,
Then stoic-like despise the painful
wound.
The stars that sparkle in the distant
sky
Seem more remote and colder to the
view,
And sympathy doth seem no longer
nigh,
When earth is wrapped in winters
chilly hue.
The arch destroyer with a frown ap-'
pears,
His cruel mandates issuing every
where,
His icy scepter DER our planet rears,
That frightens ursa to his Wintry lair.

POLICE REFORM.

Every lover of good government will
rejoice over the heroic efforts and re-
markab success of the people of New
York to down the Matchmaking police
department of that city. Mr.. John w.
Golf the prosecuting attorney for the
LeXOw committee, says he speaks
within his own knowledge when he
says there is not a business man in
New York who had not felt the power
of police blackmail. And that there
are but few instances where business
men who had refused to pay the tithes
had not been driven out of business. In
seeking to unearth the police villainy
Mr.. Golf says:
LAS an illustration of the tremendous
power welded by this organization, l
will refer to the difficulty we had in
obtaining witnesses to 20 upon the
stand and swear to facts that they had
brought to us in private. At first this
applied to all classes, both reputable
and disreputable When appealed to
they would claim that should they
testify the police would hound them
out or the city. When asked if they
could not go elsewhere ana establish
themselves in business they would re-
ply that the persecution Of the police
of New York would follow them to
every city in the country, and we
gradually revealed the astounding fact
that the police not only dominated
every city, but every large community
in the country. The lower classes
of citizens We're made to believe that
blackmail was lawful and regular.
They came to consider the captain of
their precinct as the source of all
municipal authority"
Continuing his interview Mr.. Golf
says:
You may be surprised when l say
that New York, under the rule of the
police department as it was controlled
by Tammany hall, was far worse as re-
CARDS the individual comfort of the
citizens that st. Petersburg under its
most violent police regime. This was
accidentally illustrated by witness
who took the stand one day. He was
a Pole who had been sent to Siberia
as a result of the Polish instruction.
He had escaped and reached this coun-
try and about a year after his arrival
he was unjustly arrested and cruelty
beaten. His story was told with an If
resistible quaintness and pathos.
When he was asked how the police of
New York compared with those of st.
Petersburg, he answered that the Rus
sian police are gentle and humane com
pared with those of our own city"
Scores of examples of police brutality
and of police Matchmaking have been
exposed by the committee and the
work is not done yet.
If the legislature of Illinois will ap
point committee that will do for Chi
cago what the LeXow committee has
done for New York, municipal govern
ment will enjoy a new life in the two
great cities of the country.
