PRoTEMUs.

Thanksgiving was observed at
our church here. Owing to the in
clement weather the congregation
was small, between fifty and sew
enty-five, but an excellent program
was carried out. which made the
occasion a blessing to all present.
The house was called to order by
the writer and the first prayer was
offered by Rev. Garrison. Then
the Presidents Thanksgiving proc
lamation was read by L. D. Cum
ningham and prayer was offered by
Elder w. d. Garrison. A Thanks.
giving address from Bible stand
point was very forcibly delivered
by Rev. Garrison; then prayer by
Brother w. C. Calhoun. Last, but

by Annie Turner: How Hettie
Kept Thanksgiving" by Mora Cald-

Garrison; making Others Happy"
by Frank Anderson; "Where Do
You Liver" by Kammy Caldwell;
Thanksgiving Dinner" by Thel-
bert Caldwell; my Speech is Odd,
by Julia Belle Owen. The orator
of the day was Prof. Dickey; sub
ject, "Origin of Thanksgiving"
After prayer by the pastor for the
seven children, and singing the dox-I
ology, we were dismissed for dim
ner, and finer dinner of turkey,
chicken, cakes, pies, etc., you never
saw. Rev. B. L. Holder preached
from Ps. Xvii. /. Music was SPLEEN
didly rendered by the choir, Mrs.
OH Caldwell at the organ. Miss

and we trust that every one may
have a happy time, and may they
look back over the events, good OF
bad, that occurred since the last
Christmas holidays and make an
effort to improve the good and to
amend the bad and thus make our
lives nobler and better.
Mr.. Z. E. Turnkey, the efficient
gin manager for Suggs at Slough
Landing, will return to his home
at Fowlks as soon as Mr.. Williams
arrives to take his place. Mr..
TURNKEY is gentleman of sterling
business qualities, and we regret
to see him leave. Mr.. Suggs can
never get better man in his
place.

friend "Russ T. Kuss,' that they
are so silent nowadays? have they
forsaken us? We would be glad
to see them return to your columns
and tell us what is the cause OF
their reticence. Would like to
hear from them on the Australian

August and November elections
into one, to be held on Tuesday
after the first Monday in No

changes in the common school

OPENING OF CONGRESS.
Fifty-seventh Congress Begins It's
Closing Session.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The as
sembling of a new session 0
Congress is much like the launch
inp Of 4 trim battleship that II
sent gliding down the ways or
her maiden dip. With SUNSHINE
without to-day that sent silvery
.slints from the towering dome OF
the MASSIVE Capitol, and with,How
-ers glowing with rich color within
the second and last session OF the
Fifty-seventh Congress was in
augurated.
There were throngs OF sweet
feminity clad in smartest gowns
crave Senators, unduly wise KEEP
resentatives, diplomats in radiant
colors, political grafters and the
usual retinue of sightseers to
witness this launching and they all
.enioyed, although many OF the
throng had witnessed the same
stereotyped, though cheering per-
Torrance year after year.
The Southern delegations were
present in full force. All the
members from Tennessee were
here except Senator Bate and
Representative Snodgrass. The
aenior Senator who was detained
in Alabama on account of private
business, will arrive tomorrow
afternoon. Senator Bate has al
WAYS made it rule to be present
on every first day, but it was so
patent that absolutely nothing
could be done to-day that he con-
Guided to wait over.
Representative Patterson, one OF
the most popular of the Tennessee
delegation was greeted cordially
by his many friends. He found
awaiting on his desk a fresh
bououet of roses. Mr.. Patterson's
srst attention is to the needs of
dis constituents and he is already
working to perfect the rural free
delivery system in his district
having, right now, particular at
7tention to Upton County.
AGAINST THE COAL BARoNs.
John Wesley Gains, Immediately
anon his arrival, directed the
shafts of his craftsmanship against
the coal trust. He introduced a
hill to take duty off every kind of
coal imported into the United
states from foreign countries.

Heinous Crime.

Will Kirk and Walter Kirk were
lodged in jail at Camden Monday
charged with attempted assault upon
Miss Stella Gilmore. They undertook
to ferry the young lady across the
river near Johnsonyille and allowing
the skiff to drift, made indecent pro-
posals. Her screams brought people
to the bank and the young fellows
pulled for the shore. When they
landed they were arrested by the
sheriff of Humphreys county and
turned over to the Benton county
authorities. Knots OF people were on
the streets and about the jail tonight,
but no attempt at lynching was
made.

Curiosities at Dyer.

Dyer holds the record for curiosities
in fruits and vegetables. Within the
past week three unusual specimens
have been exhibited in this city by
farmers living near here.
A turnip raised by J. w. Owens
grew through an iron band until it
was much larger on either side than
the band. B. w. Pritchard had
sample Of LIE Conte pear Of which he
had picked the second crop from one
tree, and to-day Mr.. Harpole showed
a strawberry plant with ripe berry
and several large green ones. 4

floor leader of the Democrats, was
compllmented with a bunch OF
yellow chrysanthemums on his
desk. Representative Brownlow,
in the easy attitude OF an 'easy
boss, sat behind huge cluster OF
chrysanthemums and carnations.
Representative Gibson, clipper and
possessing self conceived quali6ca-
tons for the Speakership, fitted
gaily through the corridors, his
resplendent parsonage being en-
bellished by glowing red carna-
ton boutonniere.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, the pros
pective Speaker of the next House,
was regarded by all eyes. Con-
trary to all customs he wore
snow-white shirt and sported a
bright carnation in his buttonhole.
The inevitable cigar stump had
either been thrown away perma-
nently or safely checked at the
cloak-room.
After the flush of these dazzling
scenes has faded, the more thought
full began to cogitate on what the
whole thing was really going to
amount to this session. The
question had to be solved by Big
Tom Reed trudging to the Capitol,
big head, big body, big teet and
all. An army of newspaper Cap
tains of photography" levelled ON
him as he approached the Capitol.
He ducked good naturally and
smiled, but the sensitive films will
give him a good reproduction to-
morrow.

CRONANvILLE.

| Several OF our sturdy old farmers
have killed their hogs and now
there is an abundance of poak il
the neighborhood, and the way
backbone and spare-ribs have been
devoured is amazing.
All last night the murky nimbus
that enwrapt old mother earth ID
az dark, sombre robe, poured its
aqueous contents down straight
onto us, and this morning every
thing presents drenched aspect.
We hope that all the readers,
and especially the devoted cor
respondents of the. Commercial,
had nice Thanksgiving, and that
they really felt thankful for the
many blessings that they have
had.
Mr.. VIM. G. Austin, of Slough
Landing, was in the village some
two or three days the firstof the
week. We regret to note that he
has been almost blind with the
sore eyes. but he is recovering his
vision at this writing.
DR.. w. T. Buck had the mis-
fortune to lose his family horse
Monday. He was valued at $50.
The doctor regrets this loss very
much, as it was perfectly gentle
and he could trust his wife and
babies any where with it.
The gins are having an un-
enjoyed rest spell just now. The
protracted rains last week pre-
vented picking, and from that cause
no cotton was received and the
cotton houses are entirely empty,
and the buyers are offering a little
better price.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. IhoS. Dublin
spent Sunday afternoon with the
marrying magistrate of Slough
Landing. Mr.. Dublin is the new
magistrate in his district to serve
as associate with Haley. They are
pretty good matches in statue, as
the one tips the beam at 2O8 and
the other at 217.
Mr.. Henry Wray, son of one of
our thlfty farmers, is spending
some time in Union City having
his eyes treated by the distinguished
specialist at that place. We hope
that young Wray mapreturn per-
fectly recovered from his affection,
for there is no greater blessing
then perfect vision.
Soon the Yule-tide will be here
