the decision of the disbarment case This is not true, and I wish you to so state. I do not care to discuss the case at all at this time, since the whole matter will, in the near future, be made the subject of a thorough investigation in other dis. barment proceedings.
 Of course, I realize that if there had been the slightest grounds shown for my disbarment, would certainly have been disbarred.

mestic, is not far from $4OO, 600, 600

five per cent year. 1t is a large

Owing to the increased cost for the
Book Lovers Library service in which
the subscribers to the Smyrna Lii
brary have been able to have access
to the latest and best stories of the
day, the Smyrna Library is in need
of more funds to carry on the work.
The Association finding the subscrip-
tions insufficient to carry on this ser
vice are endeavoring to raise a fund
of $4,000 A number of schemes have
been considered but as this means an
outlay of money and expense, TO say
nothing of the risk involved, it has
been thought best to sell ten shares
of library stock. Friends of educa-
tiOn and lovers of good reading will
be aiding a worthy cause if they will
step forward and puchase these
shares. Smyrna has a valuable IL
Drary but IN order to keep up the in
terest it is necessary to have the
Book Lovers Library service. Who
will take these ten shares of stock
which must be sold? Encourage and
help the Smyrna Library with your
support, otherwise it will suffer OF
have to be abandoned. Smyrna ha,
reason to be proud of its splendiC
subscription library. President Johr

keep the institution on a payin,

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the
American people have many reasons to
observe the day with epecial fervor.
Foremost of all the knowledge that
everywhere from Maine to California
there has been a distinct recovery in
trade conditions. The panic of 1907
is now but baleful memory. Then
again the Republican party, which
for half a century has been commit
ted to the policies that make for
prosperous times, has been voted in
power for another four years. That
means the greatest national good
which could come to the people.
The American farmer has harvested
the biggest crops, measured in dol
lars, that were ever grown in a sin
gle year in this or any other land on
earth. No country can long be de-
pressed or ever suppressed which
takes So, 900, 900, 900 from the fields
in a twelve month. Where some
other people have been afflicted
with plaques or famine, we have had
health and plenty. Where some ma
tions have been shaken with the fears
of war, ours has remained at peace
with all the world. Our mighty fleet
has successfully navigated more than
half the oceanic waters and it has
been received with an unrivaled en-
thusiasm wherever it has cast its
anchor. This means that we stanC
in high respect everywhere and in
spire wholesome regard for our in
stitutions and the power behind them
What greater things could any peopl
have than these: health, peace
plenty, respect of others and jus
consciousness of its own might Truly
in no other spot on the globe ,coul
there be such an appropriate plac
for an annual Thanksgiving as in tn
