moned to the Other World.
JOHN H. PECK
JOIN II. PECK.

John H. Peck, one of the oldest
people in this county, died at the
home of his son.in-law, Dallas

led at Zion church, on Timber
Ridge, on Sunday, Rev. Lewis
Chambers conducting the funeral
services.
Mr.. Peck was born in this coun-
ty in Decem Der 1917, and was,
consequently, almost So years of
age. In early life he learned the
trade of blacksmithing, and had
the reputation of being a very
skillful horse. shoer. He was a
man of remarkable constitution,
and it is said that never, during
his long life, was he sick enough
to require the service of a doctor
until his last illness, of about two
weeks. and his death was the re-
suit of a general collapse, incident
to advanced age.
In May 1843, he was married
to Mary, daughter of Jacob Sipes
deceased, of Licking Greek town
ship, who survives. To Mr.. and
Mrs. Peck, fourteen children
were born, seven of whom are
living, namely, Riley, of McCon-
nellsburg; John W., of Johnstown
Pa; Carl, of Portsmouth, Va;
Martha, wife Of Dallas Lynch,
Amanda, widow OF the late Mon
roe Lynch, Charlotte, wife OF
Cornelius Grouse, and Jane wife
of David Crouse-all of this coun-
ty. He is survived, also, by &c
grandchildren, and s great-grand-
children. His fathers name was
Henry Peck, and his brothers
Moses, Peter H., William, Job,
Isaac, Jacob, james and his sis
ters Annie and Elizabeth-have
all preceded him to the other
world.

Miss Christy's Recital.

The people OF Butler were given an
opportunity to enjoy an evening OF
"home talent at the Opera house
on Friday last, and we but speak the
truth when we say that it could not
have been excelled in any town of it's
size in the whole state. Miss Estelle
Christy has developed into an elocu-
ZIONIST OF rare merit, and the depth
and expansion of her clear melodious
voice was a surprise even to her init
mate friends and showed much culti-
walton Her selections for the oc-
casion were appropriate, and her
rendition was well near perfect. Our
paople are very proud OF this beauti-
full young Butler girls abilities and
hope and expect that she will win
many laurels in her line in thefuture.
Mrs. Walton's ability as a sweet
singer was we'll known and always
appreciated by our people, but they
were surprised and pleased at the
high range of dramatic soprano
which her late training under Bos
ton master has developed. She is al
ways a favorite before Butler audi
ence.
Miss Apply is a pianist OF rare
ubiiity, and her selections added
much to the success and enjoyment
of the evening.
The Allen orchestra was also 8
feature which our people always ap
preciate, and rendered some very fint
music during the evening.

THANKSGIVING.

To-day is a time for retrospeetion,
with hearts atuned TO a Just apprecia-
ton for the bountiful blessings OF
which We have been the recipients OF
a just Providence during the past
year. A people who from the great
storehouse of nature have been abund
altly supplied, are prone to arrogate
unto themselves the virtues and i'm
agine that an inherent worth within
themselves compel such results and
fail Ola just appreciation of the
Great Maker and Ruler of the uni
verse.
The people Of Bates county have
been blessed with bountiful harvests.
They have ESCAPED destructive storms
and floods which in so many places
in the world destroyed property and
lives causing sorrow aud suffering in
its wake. No pestilence has cast it's
blighting effect over our fair land.
The climate has been mild, the health
of the people good, prosperity and
plenty is visible on every hand and
our people are happy and contented.
For all these greater blessings and
for all personal ones which have been
showered upon us We should be truly
: and devoutly thankful.
THE TINES is thankful for pros.
porous year, an increased business
and the confidence and good will
the people of this county continue to
manifest toward us by their liberal
patronage. The present manage
ment took charge nearly twentyyears
ago and by your forbearance to an
inexperienced youth you earned our
love and gratitude, and during all
these years, through i'll as well as
good report, you have been our
friends and benefactors. We hatter
ourseli that we have added to
your information and pleasure by
bringing the full local happenings
and much of general news weekly
into your household. In every pub
lie enterprise, in city and county, we
have championed what we thought
to be the peoples interests, without
fear or favor and often to our pecu-
mary disadvantage With no apol-
ogies for hepast, but with stead
fast hope in the future, our heart is
devoutly thankful, as we trust is the
condition of every reader OF The
TIMES and all mankind on this
Thanksgiving day.

LABOR APH0RISMS.

Next to the family, the trade union
is the highest exempli6cation of the
gregarious instinct.
The injunction against the boycott
is a negation Of the first principles Of
free government, i. e., the right Of Pc
tition.
Labor is a necessity to human ex-
istence; being such, it is obvious that
under natural conditions it should also
be a pleasure, not a penance.
Much of that which passes as pro-
gressive' and "advanced' in the
thought of today is merely outgrown
notion expressed in a strange vocabu-
larry.
The simple announcement that an ar
ticle bears the union label is all the
advertisement needed by the consumer
who cares for principle as well as for
price.
To us it seems rather remarkable
that the man who believes most pro-
foundry in the potency of politics
should be so intensely incredulous, not
to say cynical, on almost every other
subject.
The labor movement, to be logical,
should know no delimitation short of
the nations boundaries. A labor move
ment laid upon sectional lines can
never be more than a chrysalis until it
bursts it's bonds.

THE BOY WAS NOT A SCAB.

One evening while III Carbonate,
Pa, went to a colliery town to speak
to the Mine Workers local, and while
waiting for them to finish business 50
we could have the floor, a little red
haired Irish boy, as freckled as a tur-
key egg, and as bright as a new pen
ny, came out Of the union hall and
I said:
What has that child been doing in
there? He can't possibly belong to the
union?"
Turning to me with most indignant
expression he retorted:
Don't belong to the union? Indade
I do! Do you take me for a scab?
done belong to the union for five
years." he announced with an assump-
ton Of dignity that was most ludicrous
considering his size.
But how old are you":' asked.
'I'm passed twelve, and I've been
picking slate fer more than five years.
