THANKSGIVING SERVICES
Congregational Church Filled to an
Overlooking Capacity in the
Union Services.

The audience which assembled In
the congregational church Thanks
giving morning was a very large one,
filling the capacity OF the church,
and the crowd of people that was
brought together was in hearty
sympathy with the day and the
occasion. 1t was one OF the best
audiences which has assembled at a
Thanksgiving service in Mitchell
for a number OF years. There was
much to be thankful for in This year
that has nearly passed away, and it
was but right and proper that such
a large audience should pay tribute
to the day.
The services were IN charge of
Pastor Bowdish and be was assisted
by In the devotional services by Rev.
IL. S. Wilkinson and Rev. w. S.
Grafton, the former reading the
scriptures and the latter Offering a
most devout prayer.
The music OF the morning was
furnished by Misses Laura Saul.
Eliza Verlnilyea, and M. r. Tournier,
MIR. Williams, with Mrs. Doud at
the organ.
There was a collection taken up
which was sent to the ChiIdrens'
Home at Sioux Falls, this being a
custom which has prevailed at the
union Thanksgiving services for a
good many years. The collection
amounted to $l2. SO.
The sermon of the day was
delivered by Rev. E. M. LETTERS. the
new pastor of the Baptist church,
whose text was taken from Romans
1912: "The night is far spent, the
day is at hand" Mr.. Jetfers in his
discourse showed to what extent the
people are coming out of the darkness
and entering into the way Of the
salvation ..of Christ. In the course Of
his discussion he touched with in
terest upon the fact that great
changes had come about through the
growth and spread Of religion, in that
it had changed many methods Of
punishment for trivial crimes, which
In the olden days we're dealt with
severely. Religion, however, had
softened the heart of the nation and
these crimes were dealt with less
harshly. He said that religion had
done more for womanhood than any
other influence in the world and that
be was not surprised to find that
the women composed the greater part
OF the membership of the church,
which had freed her from a bondage
OF long suffering. The speaker
touched on the many good influences
which have been at work during the
past years that looked to an efface-
ment Of the many evils in the land,
and while not accomplishing it
wholly great inroads were being
made on the vices which surround
US. he reviewed briefly the war
which is being made on the saloons
OF the country through the instru-
ments which seemed to have a
stronger hold on them than ever
before and referred to the success
in the recent election as something
to be very thankful for. The ad-
dress Of Mr.. LETTERS was an instruct
i've and entertaining and it was
very much enjoyed by the large
audience.
The services we're brought to q
close with the benediction beipg
pronounced by Rev. DR.. Young,nan.

FAMOUS BATTLES
ON HAMPTON ROADS
Tourist to Jamestown Will
See Ocean and Scenes of
Naval Fights.

Norfolk, Va, July 13.-To the multi
tudes of the interior who are eontem-
plating visit To the exposition, the
recommendation, beyond even that sug-
gested by a great worlds fair lies in
the opportunity for a sight of and a
trip on the ocean.
In the Jamestown exposition site and
vicinity, shore and sea and climatic
conditions have combined to create a
territory supremacy attractive. The
site Of the celebration is the choicest
OF a choice collection. Situated on
Hampton Roads, it is rich in every
prospect TO fire the heart of patriot
ism and sparkle the eye Of natures
lover Both land and sea are rich in
historical interest. The expanse Of
Hampton Roads is the field Of many
gallant achievements Of the American
sailor, and the shores about are for
ever consecrated by the valorous blood
of the American soldier. Here, in
the nations infancy the savage war
cry reused the colonists to action
Here, the English mariners have met
the ships OF France. Here, in the
revolutionary war and in the war OF
1872 American sailors set their battle
flag and defied the power Of Britain
and it was here during the great civil
war. that the Monitor and Merrimac
inaugurated a new epoch in the naval
affairs of the world. A reproduction
of this remarkable duel will be one of
the striking and original features of
the exposition.
The tract upon which this city beau
tiful of 1907 has been reared is admir-
ably adapted to the purpose for which
it is intended. With more than two
miles OF water frontage it offers at
every turn a charming combination
view of land and sea. The harbor is
at this point five miles wide and the
outlook is superb. The cities on the
farther shore are merged by perspec-
tive into a cameramic picture; and the
great government piers offer point
Of vantage for the enjoyment Of a
marine picture unequalled on the
American continent.

ond by a score of to 5. Frank Smith
tried to do the double game pitching
stunt, but fell down in the sixth inning

showed Smith in grand form and he
allowed the visitors but three little
hits, Falkenberg, who twirled for the

hits off the tall boy. Dougherty had
his batting toys on in the first and

Smith lasted six innings in the sec

such good form in the first that he
would be able to hold his own in the
next. The Nationals took his meas

scored on these hits. Dougherty again
led in the batting honors, getting two
more hits out of the six the team made

With the dog s record of having killed thirty of this species of reptile up to date, MT Helms knew what was up when he heard Pup barking furiously at something in an oak tree. He hurried to the spot to and that the battle was already on be- tween the dog and one of his old ene- mics.
 The serpent had coiled itself around the dogs body with the evident purpose of crushing it to death but the game terrier was up to such tricks, for by clutching the snake directly back of it's head she freed herself.
 Then Pup" took tlgether grip on her antagonist, although it tried hard to strike back, and locking her jaws tightly, broke the snakes neck. few convul- sive quivers and it was dead.
