WHAT ARE YOU
 GOING TO WEAR ON
 THANKSGIVING DAY?

Thanksgiving Day besides serving the purposes of being a day on which the Turkey gives up his life for the good of humanity has also come to be a sharp reminder that the buying of new clothes cannot oe put off any longer, as cold weather is here to stay. For reasons of com fort and for business reasons 1t Is undoubtedly time right now to put on the latest winter styles. In pre- para ton for this big shedding of old clothes, Caesar Misch, Inc. has plan
 ned to contribute to the days festi- vitieS by a special Thanksgiving sale! For this event the New York cloth
 ing manufacturers have been sought and where bargains were obtainable they have been bought and the new fresh goods shipped to the daylight store of Caesar Misch. Inc. The values are undoubtedly exceptional for this time of the year and should be sufficiently attractive to. cause anyone, even those who have never before taken advantage of cheerful credit to make their purchases now. There are ladies and mems luxurious fur garments, ladies' popular long coats in the polo, reversible and mo- tor models; gran display of the latest winter millinery; dress for and trimmed walking suits, waists and other items that go to make up Ia womans wardrobe. Men gre equally taken care of with a splendid assortment of big, warm overcoats in the latest ulster and semi-fitted mo- dels with a splendid choice of suits in plain blacks, blues and handsome novelty mixtures. The boys will be delighted with the fine overcoats and suits that make them feel dressed up and delight their parents with long durable wear. Every article 1t is to he ram aYn bered is to be purchased without a cent. the price of the gar ments being paid later in small amounts as best suits your convent

Several Courts to Be Abolished.

Several Courts to BE Abolished.
Washington, Dec. 13.-In every
State of the Union, there will pass
out of existence on Jan. l next his
toric court practically as old as the
State itself. On that day II United
States circuit courts will cease to do
business at the PIG different places
they have been accustomed to meet.
Arrangements for this change are
now being perfected in Washington
and throughout the circuits.
The elimination of the circuit
courts was one of the reforms pro-
vided for in the new Judiciary code,
enacted by Congress on March 8,
1911, to become effective Jan. l.,
1912. The code provides that after
the latter date there should be only
the district courts, the nine circuit
courts of appeal and the supreme
court. The existence of the circuit
courts since 1891, when the circuit
courts of appeal were created, has
been regarded as expensive and su-
perfiuous.
The 29 circuit judges will not lose
their jobs, as they will continue to
sit in the circuit courts of appeals
and help out in the district courts.
All the clerks of the circuit courts
will have their positions abolished.
AT the same time restrictions will be
placed upon the amount that district
court clerks may draw as salary.
Under special law the clerk of the
district and circuit courts in eastern
Kentucky was entitled to $500 and
fees for each place in which either
court sat. AS each court sat in five
different places he was entitled to
$4,000 a year if the fees amounted
to that much. Other clerks were un-
usually favored by special legislation.
Hereafter it will be impossible for a
clerk to receive more than $500.
The passing away of the circuit
courts is but one of the reforms of
the new code. After Jan. /, the chief
justice of the United States will re-
ceive $4,000 per annum and each
associate justice $14,500.
Under the new code Jurors for
Federal courts will receive their
summons by registered mail instead
of by personal visits by deputy United
States marshals and there will be a
prohibition against members of Con-
gress practising before the Court of
Claims here.

Sketch of Life of e. X. Curtis Who
Died Last Sunday.
(Communicated.)

Communicated
Deacon Eugenio Kincard Curtis
passed from this life to his eternal
rest on December 10, 1911, at 6 a.
m.
He was born at the Baptist par
sonage in Bethany, Pa, May 16,
1888; being the youngest child of
Rev. Henry Curtis and Eliza Ban
ming.
Rev. Henry Curtis, who was a
prominent pioneer Baptist minister,
in the earlier days of the church in
this and adjoining counties, moved
from Bethany to what is now the
Curtis homestead, at Edenvale, Pa,
when the subject of this sketch was
about five years old.
At his fathers death, Eugene,
took charge of the homestead, car
ed her at ripe old age.
Here he resided the remainder of
his life, with the exception of about
nine years, during which time he
lived at Berlin Center.
Deacon Curtis was baptized by
his father in Glass Factory Pond, as
it was then called, Feb. 10, 1854,
since which time he has been a con-
sistent member of the~ Baptist
church, having been a deacon for
over thirty years. He was one of
the Wayne Baptist Association and
never failed to attend the annual
session of the same, until age and
illness prevented his attending.
He was twice chosen as clerk and
once as moderator.
He was a generous contributor to
all church work and other worthy
causes, always having a kind word
and helping hand for those in
need. The life of the deacon was
| fraught with hardships, that would

determined

have overcome less determined
character.
When a child he suffered an at
tack of palsy, which left him partial
ly crippled in his feet; also when a
small boy he lost the sight of one
eye through accident and at middle
age was obliged to undergo an oper-
alton for removal of the same, the
effect of which was to cause the par
tial loss of his voice, which was a
tenor of remarkable quality and
compass. Previous to this he was
collaborated with p. p. Bliss and D..
b. Towner who at one time conduct
ed singing schools in this locality.
He also taught vocal classes at vari-
Gus times. He was prominent in the
temperance movement for many
years, being affiliated with the
Good Templars, when that crusade
was at it's height. Later he was
identified with the Prohibition party
in much of it's work. He taught
about twenty terms of school
throughout various parts of the
county.
Mr.. Curtis was twice married, his
first wife being Irene Maria Cliff, to
whom he was married October 10,
1869. She died November Is, 1872.
To this union was born James l..
Curtis, now of Parsons, Pa, and
Emma Irene, who died in infancy.
He afterwards married May M. Stew
ems Aug. Is, 1880. To them were
born Henry Percy and Bessie May,
both of whom reside at home. He
is survived by his wife and the above
mentioned children, also one grand
daughter, Irene A. Curtis of Par
sons; two stepsons, A. s. Vanden-
berg of Plainfield, N. j., and f. G.
Vandenberg of Hudson, Pa, also
one sister, Mrs. Julia G. Knapp, OF
Aldenville.
About four years ago he met with
an accident and broke his leg, since
| which time he has been declining
in health.
Two years later he suffered from
an attack of congestion of the
brain, this causing him to become
totally blind. This blow was toe
much and he failed rapidly. Though
zealously and tenderly cared for by
| his wife and the children who are
at home, as we'll as by a host OF
friends, all however proved unavail'
| ing, except perhaps to make his last
days as comfortable as possible.
On the above date he gradually be-
gan to grow weaker and as the dawn
was breaking the gentle spirit which
so many learned in his life to love
peacefully departed from the tired
form, and he was asleep with his
Creator whom he loved so dearly.
The funeral was held at Alden
vile Wednesday, December 13, 1911
After a short service at the house
the remains were taken to the AL
denville Baptist church where the
funeral was held. The sermon was
an excellent discourse by Rev. Jas
Rainey from John 1924. He wa:
assisted by Rev. R. d. Minch of Da
mascus and Rev. G.. S. Wendell O.
Honesdale. Music was furnished by
quartet consisting of Mrs. G. G
Gaylord, Miss Marguerite Kennedy.
