THANKSGIVING
WELL SPENT
GOOD BEHAVIOR PREVAILED AND
PEACE RBIGNED SUPREME IN
CIARKsBURG.
Appropriate Religious and Social Func-
tionS INDUCED in.-Many Family
Dinners and Turkey All the Rage.

Thanksgiving here this year was con
spicuous for the general qilietness and
good behavior on the streets. There was
but little rowdyism. The cold weather
kept the people Off the streets, yet there
were number of visitors but even they
remained at the hotels most of the time
and were outdoors but little.
The business houses in general were
closed throughout the day and as the re-
suit practically no business was dcne, all
though ut some places, where there were
hurry,up jobs laboring men could Sc seen
busy at work The public Offices were
closed, as well as the banks, the post
office, excepting Sunday hours, the stock
brokers Offices, and, in fact, netrly all
sorts Of business houses and offices were
deserted for the day.
There was considerable attention paid
to religious services, such as sunrise
prayer meetings and sermons suitable to
a proper celebration of the day. The
most conspicuous religious service was
that at the Baptist church, held jointly
by the various churches of the city, not
including the Catholic and Episcopal.
This service was largely attended and
the sermon by Rev. $. X. Arbuthnot on
The Higher Thanksgiving" was able and
pleasing. The program was one Of much
interest and instruction, and all who at,
tended were profted.
Several family dinners were given and
it was not uncommon to be invited to
cat turkey. Social functions of various
kinds were INDUCED, both the night be,
fore and the night OF The national hol-
iday.
Altogether, Thanksgiving was a pleas.
mt day and the indulgences of the people
md their observanccs were strictly in
keeping with it.

WINDOW DISPLAY
Is That in c. K. Rothstein & Co.'s Store,
Representing Thousands of Dollars.
Rubies More Valuable Than
Diamonds.

Perhaps the most valuable display of
precious stones ever seen in Clarksburg,
is in the window of c. X. Rothstein &
O., jewelers.. in the Waldo hotel block
on Fourth street.
Four of the diamonds weigh something
over twenty earats and the approximate
value is $500. It appears that rnbies.
are more valuable than diamonds, from
the fact that four rubies in the same
display, though comparatively small, are
valued at $500. This would bring the
total value of the stones to $4,000.
