As Brother Shelly aptly said in his SER
mon last Sunday night, ct is the duty
Of every memb r Of the church to say a
good word for his church, his pastor, its
members. Talk it up, work il up and
keep at it." You can't have a revival
says he unless all the members take an
interest. Come out to church. Take a
part in the meetings, talk them up, on
the streets, in your homes, say some
thing and do something This is the
correct line Of action ard il every body
would do Just as Brother Shelly Gays
there would be such a revival in this
town as was never known before. And
what is true OF the church and religion
is true of the prosperity and success Of
the town and its business. Let's all get
together, have a meeting and talk up the
town for a while instead OF talking it
down. Get together on some one line
Of action, all Of us, merchants, bankers,
mechanics and lsboring men. A strong
pull, hard pull and a pull altogether
for the next twelve months and you'll
see quite different state OF affairs in
this good old town OF ours.

THANKSGIVING.
How II Was Observed at lrvington and
on-0pposed to the Gold
Standard.

GUsroS, KY, Nov. 9th. lS96.-MR.
EDITOR AS have not asked permission
to Ray any thing through the columns Of
the News for sometime, feel that am
entitled to hearing, not that | expect
what am going to say will please every
body, but / am conscious in believing
that something ought to be said and if
saying will not do, then something ought
to be done.
Last Thursday, as we all know, was
our National Thanksgiving day. A day
in which the people all over the United
States were requested to spend portion
Of it at least, in returning thanks to the
Great Giver OF all good for His manifold
blessings to them. 1t is very true that
there may be great many people and
great many homes in this great couu-
try Of ours, where they are 80 poverty
stricken that they doubtless feel that
they have very little to be thankful
for, however, a large majority OF us
have a great deal more to be thankful
for than to compliin OF.
Suppose some one asks, "Was the day
fittingly observed in your community ?"
| will attempt to answer the question,
and if err it will not be done intention
ally: At Irvington there were services
at the Baptist church and some persons
of our cummunity attended the same,
there being no services at Custom church,
however, there was one mo more) fami-
ly reunion, pleasant chatting, good
dinner and singing in the afternoon,
seemed to be the program, and all pres
ent enjoyed same splendidly.
"Was the day observed in any other
way? ?" do not know, but observation
would teach us that it was. Now have
seen certain men travelling around over
our vicinity ON horseback, with a large
grass sack hanging across his horse in
front Of him with seemingly a bundle
ia each end, have been told that these
sacks contained chickens, the fighting
sort too, this sight could be seen in our
vicinity last Thursday. Not only this,
but from what | have been informed
there was quite crowd assembled some
where between our town and the one
above us, and chicken fighting was the
order OF the day, and | am also informed
that it is no new thing. 1t is certainly a
pity, shame and disgrace for such a
thing TO exist in any community. We
do not know who all participated in the
affair Thursday, but Irvington and Bew-
leyville were represented. / believe
that | have as much sympathy for wrong
doors as most people, but when persons
willfully and knowingly persists in vio-
lating the laws Of our country it seems
to me that they ought To have the pen.
alties Of said violations applied TO them.
Such things are noticed too little This
good man says that he hates to report
any one, and another saysthe same thing
and so it goes. But you see am OPP
posed to chicken fighting, as we'll as the
gold standard.

A writer laments the decline Of legis.

A writer laments the decline Of legis-
lative bodies the world over. The de-
cline is in manners, morals and states
manship. So true is this of our state
legislatures that he declares few mea-
sures passed by them originate among
the members themselves. They are sim
ply the tools or servants whose vote
passes the laws concocted by individu-
ais on the outside, sometimes in the
public interest, but too often in their
own interest and to the detriment of
the public. Well, if this is true the
remedy is easy enough. Legislative
bodies reflect exactly the morality, the
manners and the brain power of the
people who elect them. There are plenty
of honest men and brainy men even in
these times. If the people wanted them
as legislators, all the people would have
to do would be to elect them: But vot-
ers apparently do not want Legislators
who are better than they themselves
are. s~.

England In Egypt.

As far back as 1901 an English army
drove France out Of Egypt. Ever since
then France has held a grudge at Eng
land on the Egyptian question. Ever
since then, too, England has been more
or less busy in connection with the
affairs of the distracted Nile country.
The Suez canal gives Great Britain the
right to concern herself intimately with
the government of the country. Egypt
is nominally a suzerainty Of Turkey,
while an English army occupies her ter
ritory, and she has likewise an alleged
government of her own.
British influence is, however, para
mount. How long it will continue SO
Arthur Silva White gives US Indirectly
to understand in paper in The North
American Review. In 1874 and sue
oeeding years much territory gas won
for the khedive in upper Egypt, still
with the aid Of the English. Gordon
Pasha, otherwise called Chinese Cor
don, was governor general of the Sudan
in 1880. Jan. 90, 1885, he was killed
in the Mahdist rebellion at Khartum.
After that the Sudan was overrun by
the Mahdists or dervishes, the troops
were withdrawn, and upper Egypt was
abandoned to it's fate. Recent events
and conditions have induced England
to enter the Sudan again. The Italians
have abandoned Abyssinia. France il
reaching out along the Kongo toward
the British central and east African
possessions. France has now Russia at
her back, and France has not forgotten
that the English drove her out Of Egypt
in 1901. The new British possession,
Uganda, and other British territory in
Africa imperatively demand for THEN
safety the reconquest Of the Sudan, os.
tensibly for Egypt, really for Great
Britain.
It is nothing less than the conquest d
the entire Sudan, according to Mr..
White, that is the aim of. the British
expedition to Dongola. And when The
Sudan is conquered for Egypt by Brit
ish troops, it will have to be held fol
Egypt by British troops, and that is an
other link in the chain which will hole
England in the Nile country apparently
till Judgment day.
