Thankseiying.

Thou crownest the year with
thy goodness. The pastures are
clothed with fucks; the valleys
also are covered over with corn;
they shout for joy, they also
sing"
The harvest is Gods gift.
Every blade of grass and every
seed of wheat is a story of Provi-
dence. After long months of
labor and anxious waiting the
farmer, on Thanksgiving day,
has a song in his heart that no
other can know. If professional
men, mechanics and day -laborers
miss the joy of the tilIer of the
soil they benefit indirectly from
his prosperity, for the foundation
of the business world is laid by
the farming classes. No one would
rob him of his joy or the fruits of
his hands, on this glad Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
Let us count our blessings as a
town, county, State, a Nation,
and we will count Peace, Pros
perity and the Advance of the
Kingdom of the Lord, every
where.
As indiYiduais we may know
We are approaching that for which
we pray, and that through mortal
life and the eternity of God, peace
and love will be with us. The
toughest roads and the lowest
depths have been transformed to
high places, touching the heavens;
and we will not falter nor turn
back, though the way be not all
clear. The shadows flee away in
the light of the MONDAY sun.
Let us add to our blessings by
some kindly ministry to any less
fortunate and worthy of aid, and
make the angels gladder on their
Thanksgiving Day in Heaven.
Let US kneel before the Lord,
our Maker, for He is our God;
AID we are the people of His pas
ture, and the sheep of His hand. =

The Yazoo Court.-Over $4,000 in Fines.

One of the most remarkable
terms of Circuit Court, in many
respects, ever held in Yazoo
County, is now drawing to a
close. One of the features of the
court is the great number of
convictions in blind tiger cases.
The good work begun by the
Grand Jury has been continued
by Judge Holden and District
Attorney Thames, and as result
of this uncompromising crusade
against crime in Yazoo County,
fines aggregating over $4,000
have been assessed and collected,
and the work is not yet COM
pleted. The best previous record
for fines collected at any one term
of Circuit Court in Mississippi is
SIS, 800.

more divided. still the action or
the Democratic party cannot be
made dependent upon the pros
poets of success.
''The prospects now seem ex-
celIent, but a Democratic conven-
ton will be held, a platform
adopted, and candidates nominat-
ed whether the prospects are
bright or gloomy, and the party
must make the best fight it can,
whether it enters the campaign
with fear or with confidence.
Democrats believe that Dem
ocratic principles are sound, and
that Democratic policies are
necessary; they should therefore
endorse these principles and
present those policies, and then
select as the candidates those who
in their judgment will give the
party the greatest assurance of
benefit in case of victory.
If the members of tie party
believe that Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
tion will help the party, its prln-
ciples and its policies, he will ac-
cept the nomination whether the
indications point to defeat or VIC
tory. A defeat can bring no dis
grace where the cause is just
one, but cowardice would be dis
graceful, especially in one who is
as deeply indebted to his party as
Mr.. Bryan is.
"The next campaign will be an
appeal to the public conscience.
The inyestigationshave shown not
only the corrupt use of large cam
paign funds, but the only source
from which they can be drawn,
namely, the corporations, that
seek to convert the government
into business asset. The DEM
ocratic party stands for the doc
trine OF equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, and
therefore cannot promise favors
to favor seeking corporations.
If it made such promises to the
corporations, it would be guilty
of duplicity, for it would have to
betray the voters as the Repub-
lican party has done, in order to
reward these corporations as the
Republican party has rewarded
them.
The Democratic campaign must
be carried on by volunteers who
will work because they desire the
triumph of Democratic ideas.
We cannot hope to appeal to the
sordid, or to buy the purchasable,
even if such a course would con-
tribute towards Democratic sue
cess. No one would favor Mr..
Bryan's nomination unless the
party is willing to open its books
and show where its contributions
came from, and for what the
money is expended.
The Republican party ought
to be challenged to conduct its
campaign in this open and honest
way, and if the Republican lead
ers refuse to accept the challenge,
the Democrats can we'll afford to
leave the issue with the public.
An appeal to conscience is politi-
cally expediaent as we as morally
fright, for the conscience is the
most potent force with which a
man deals. The public interest
has already been aroused and a
large number of voters have been
educated to the necessity of real
reform, reform that will make
this government again govern
ment of the people.
1T only remains for the Demo
cratic party to convince the voters
that it can be entrusted with the
work of reform and this will do
more to convince the public than
a refusal to negotiate with preda-
tory wealth, and to make honest
appea! by honest methods to the
honest sentiment of the country.

Gripping the reader fast with
its tale of the astounding trans
formation, in one day, of a
ragged London waif into the
Possessor of tncoIculable wealth,
this story by Louis Tracy meas
ures up fully to the standard of
this ronloncer's other popular
tales. In the IN folding of the
story he depicts NOT merely The
change in the hero's material
circun1s tonces, but the interesting
development of his character.
The stirring adventures in which
Philip Arson became en16rottea
by reason of his suddenly ac-
CURED riches, literally sent to
him from, heaven, his loyalty to
the girl friend o. his childhood
and his manly efforts to win her
love, are among the many ele-
mentS of plot which is de-
veIoped with Mr.. Tracy's we'll
known skill.

gave an elaborate o'clock dinner at
their home, 519 River street, Thurs
day evening, at which covers were
laid for twenty-four guests. The place
cards in the form of folders were very
attractive, each one containing on its
cover the picture Of some national
flag, no two of them showing the same
ensign. Each guest was required to
write the name Of the nation to which
the flag on his card belonged and was
expected to answer about twenty-five
questions written on the inside OF the
folder by the names of cities the
guests were to visit. in the course OF
their imaginary tour of the world.
For instance, an animal of the plains
was Buffalo; Always in bottles but
never poured, was Cork. A kind of
sausage was Bologna, popular table
service was Dresden, etc. After din
ner cards furnished the diversion,
800" being played.
