THANKSGIVING DAY.

Faithful to the custom that has been
handed down to us from time imme-
mortal, the nation sent up its thanks
last Thursday to a kind Providence for
the many blessings which have fallen
to the American people during the past
year. This is proper from practical
as we'll as religious standpoint. The
great nation has reached step further
in its march of prosperity and strength.
Instead of 100000 people, 10000
600 people now claim the stars and
stripes as the flag of their country. In
stead OF an untried republic, we glory
, in one of the greatest and most power
full nations on earth, daily increasing
in strength and influence. 1t IS well
that we stop, at least once year, to
consider these things. To devote a
day to retrospection, that the thin gs
which are Transporting around us, and
of which we are not in daily contact,
may be examined into and thought of
and weighed. 1t is by this means that
we 90 on to become good citizens, pat
riots and law-abiding people, proud Of
our country and ready to sacrifice life
and property for its welfare aud safety.
But above and beyondall this, there
is q higher principal involved in this,
our Thanksgiving Day. A principal
which one learns at his mothers knee
and which is the basis of permanent
prosperity, education, refinement, sue
cess and happiness-the belief in and
the recognition of Almighty God.
In Lexington the day is becoming
more and more to be observed as q
holiday. While not all our people go
to church and thus carry out the idea
Of public worship as recommended by
the President of the United S aes,
still nearly every one in the community
suspended business ON that day. Some
took that occasion to spend the day
hunting or fishing.
Union services We're held IN the Presby
terrain church at ii O'Clock, the sermon
being pre- 'ched by Rev. Dr. r. J. Nc
Bryde, assisted by Rev. Dr. j. I.
Wightman, and Rev. Or. Thornton
Whaling.

The Virginia fish commission are
confident that the new law will bring
into the State a revenue of 100000 or
100000 a year from the oyster industry.
Should this event be realized it is quite
probable that a disposition will be
manifested at the next session of the
Legislature for the enactment of more
rigorous laws.

Benton McMillin, for twenty years d
member Of Congress and Governor
elect OF Tennessee, said in New York
the other day in talk about The
Philippines: "If tie people Of the IS
lands say they are capable of self-goy-
eminent and should be a part Of the
United States, then they are entitled
to representation, and under our form
of government tie Philippines would
be entitled to 45 members of Congress.
This would be the balance Ct power.

pansion won't do. The silver question

When the shades of evening
fell last night, the work of
the several candidates and their
friends, for the county and legis-
lative offices, closed until after the
primaries, which will be held on Tues
day evening About all has been done
that could be done. and until after the
delegates have been selected there will
be but little more to do.
1t is impossible at this time to say
who are in the lead for the several
places. Not until the delegations have
been selected and polled can there be
any successful forecast of political
conditions. Candidates are numerous,
and they and their supporters have
done work in every locality in the city
and county Impressions have been
made on the minds of the voters which
will last until the time comes for the
casting of the votes; and then, and only
then, will there be anything definite
to record.

he was going to decline a renomina-
ton. W. II. Bramel, a rising young
member Of the law firm of Dey &
Street, is one of the candidates for the
place. and he has grown rapidly in the
last few days. Bramel is an able young
man. and has had experience in the
courts which fits him for the place.

Exact Date Will Doubtless Be An

nounced Tomorrow.
Owing to the absence of several mem
bers of the family, and the uncertain
ty as to when they will be here, it is
not likely that the date for the funeral
can be announced before tomorrow.
One son of the late president, Apostle
A. o. Woodruff, is now in Canada; an
other son, Newton Woodruff, is on
mission in the southern states, while
David Woodruff, a third son, is in the
Big Hole country. Other members OF
the family are at Ashley, but all are
being communicated with, and the
opinion was expressed that the funeral
could not take place before next Sun
day. This is considerably farther off
than was at first anticipated, but as
stated before, no arrangements what
ever have yet been made, and the time
all depends upon how quickly the fam
lily can be assembled.
1t is not known, either just what
the nature of the services will be, fur
Their than that it is understood they
will take place at the tabernacle, where
the remains will lie in state.
The late president himself left di-
rections regarding this matter. A long
time ago President Young requested
the apostles to state to him in writing
in what manner they desired to have
their funerals conducted, in order that
the services might be in accordance
with their wishes. These letters are
on file in the church office, that Of
President Woodruff with the others. 1t
bears no date, but reads as follows:
Concerning my death and burial, 1

brief account of my life. labors and

priesthood, and put into plain, decent

there will be no necessity for any one
