The Day.

Thanksgiving day was observed
in very quiet manner in Dayton.
The stores closed at noon, and some
of the boys went out and shot at
turkeys. Almost everybody had
a turkey dinner, either at home or
at one of the hotels, and in the
evening there was a social dance at
the Odeon Hall. Music was fur
nished by the Virginia City string
band, and as it was good music the
crowd had a good time. The dance
broke up little after midnight.

The First MAN.

Grandpa Stiles and Robert Stow
ell, of this place, declare that they
saw the air-ship that the California
papers have said so much about
during the past two weeks, and
that they saw it some weeks ago,
but at the time had no idea what it
was. Mr.. Stiles says he saw what
he supposed was a meteor or
comet on the night that Congress.
man Newlands spoke here, which
was over six weeks ago. He was
going up the steps Of the Odd Eel
lows Hall to prepare the Lodge
room for the Rebekah's meeting.
when he saw three very bright
lights in the sky. The lights were
in horizontal line and about IL
feet apart, and travelling quite rap
idly in a southeasterly direction.
Mr.. Stiles descended the stairs to
obtain a bucket of water when he
met Mr.. Robert Stowell and pointed
out the strange phenomenon. The
lights were visible for about five
minutes, when they suddenly disap-
peared as if going behind cloud.
The parties who saw the strange
lights were puzzled to account for
them at the time, but since reading
the yarns in the California papers
have come to the conclusion that
they were the first ones to see the
wonderful air-ship.

Death or George Barnes.

Word reached here last Sunday
night that Geo. Barnes had died in
San Francisco that day at noon.
1t was known last week that he was
quite i'll, and his father and brother
left for the city last week Thursday.
George died of complicated liver
and heart trouble after all had been
done for him that was possible to
do, and his father and brother we're
with him to the last.
George Barnes was born and
raised in Dayton, and at the time
of his death was 81 years and 5
months of age. He resided here
and attended the public school un-
til he graduated, and then attended
business college in San Francisco
for couple of years. About five
years ago he secured a position with
the commission firm of Gould & Jor-
don, of San Francisco, and was in
their employ up to the time of his
death, being thought the world of
by his employers.
The remains of deceased were
brought to Dayton for burial Tues
day last, and the funeral took place
from the Court House Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Gregory, of Vir-
ginia City, officiating. The floral
decorations were profuse and ele-
CANT.
The choir sang some appropriate
and touching pieces, and the re-
mains were then conveyed to the
hearse, the pail bearers being George
Randall, Frank Lothrop, Bert Fish,
Jack Lotus, Eugene Campbell and
Emile Tailleur, all schoolmates.
Despite the rain a large number
of friends followed the remains tt
the grave, where the last sad rites
were performed.

ters, a brother and host of friends

His shoes Made Of Human skin.

A Philadelphia physician has his
shoes made from the skin of ne
groes. He obtains the epidermis
from bodies which have been used
for dissecting purposes in a famous
medical college. The thighs are
flayed, and the skin thus procured
is sent to Womelsdorf, near Read
ing, and there tanned by a stolid
Berks county yeoman, The result
is a beautiful leather, extremely
soft and pliable, very lustrous, and
suggestive of a fine and but very
thick piece of kid. The shoes are
beautiful to look upon, and grasp
the feet kindly. This story is told

Dear .Zntelligenccr We hear with sor-

in prison by those wicked Spaniards In
Cuba. He was doing a great work In
Cuba, establishing the Red Cross, hospi-

think the Lord is going to release Cuba,

hope go, for we want to see all nations
and people free. What a blessed word,
to worship God under their own vine aud
fig tree, and none dare modest OF make
them afraid. It seems that every coun-
try has to be stepped In blood before they
throw off the yoke of Romanism. It
shows what q desperate fight the devil
makes to hold bis ground. But the Lord
| rules, and will conquer the devil In his
| own good time. MI. Editor, we feel more
like finging lead than ink. but we sup.
pose It is all wrong, but the Lord In olden
times had his people to fight bloody bat
ties in subduing the heather, and I reck-
on it still holds good. We hope So, for We
want to see Cuba free and a hundred
preachers put in there to work to blot
out Romaniom.

The advantages possessed by the
southern cotton mills are: Much cheaper
labor OF excellent quality, longer hours.
cheaper cotton and fuel, milder climate,
fewer ye1atious legal restrictions. Until
recently the production at the South has
been SO small the price Of CLOTHS has been
liked by its cost to Northern mills, and
Southern mills simply got excessive
profits. Now the Southern production is
increasing so enormously that the price
OF many grades of cloth 10 fixed by their
Southern cost. In the future Southern
profits on plain cloths will be less, and
the Northern millM will not be able TO
make such goods except at q loss. They
mnst then change to finer goods aud
fancies not yet produced in quantity in
the South. The desire to get large profits
by Masking goods whose pricei 10 governed
by higher Northern cost will lead to
building in the South of mills for making
finer yarns. There are o few Southern
mills already prod ucing cloths Of finer
yarns than can be made by n%ine-tenths
Of the Northern mills. see no reason
why the South may not successfully
compete with the North in making staple
fine cloths.
