THANKSGIVING DINNER

Life, with all it's stern realities, occasionally breaks out in a halo of light and joy so resplendent the clouds vanish far in the distance and we dwell in the realms of ecstacy for a time. Perhaps the pleasant event at the home of MT. and Mrs. John Adams was a coun- terpart of this when a number of relatives gathered there on Thanksgiving Day for real old fashioned Thanksgiving reunion of the sisters of Mrs. Adams and the brothers of Mir. Adams. The guests were taken care of in a royal manner. Rich and varied refreshments were served, a vein of real happiness and a spirit of Thanksgiving permeated the at mosphere, and it was indeed gen. eral and happy company that gathered round the festal board when dinner was announced.
 There were present: Mrs. Mat Adams, Mrs. Mary Medley, MT. and Mrs. B. H. Adams, F. M. Mar tin and family, H. D. Eller and family, Mrs. Mary Magness and children, Will McDoniel and fam. ly, B. F. Adams and family, K. B. Adams, Mrs. Jane Dodd and MT. and Mrs. E. B. Chesser.

BUILDING GOOD
 PIECE OF ROAD
Overseer J. P. Lovel Doing Some Fine Work on Road Lead
 ing East to Paroquet

OverSeer J. P. Lovel has a good force of hands at work on the pub lie road east of town and is build ing fine piece of road.
 This is a very important piece of road but from some cause it has been neglected until 1t has prob ably become the worst piece of road In the district. However, with proper drainage and grading 1t can be made a fine road, and as it is almost perfectly level and runs on an absolutely straight line for a distance of five miles, 1t will become magnificent drive way some day in the not far dist ant future when put in proper condition.
 0verseer Lovel began work on the lower end of the road at Paro- quet and is working this way with a good crew of hands with teams and scrapers, ditching and grad ing, and has put the road in fine shape as far as he has worked.
 The Journal is always pleased to note the improvement of our public highways, for we believe that one of the best assets of any community IS good roads.
 Last winter in his campaign for election as road overseer, MT. Low el promises that if he was elected he would put forth his befforts to build some good roads in this dis trict, and The Journal is glad to note that he is making an excellent start toward making good on these promises.

THANkSGIVING---AN
 APPRECIATION

Should 1 be asked to name the chief characteristic of a refined and cultured nature, would think first of the word gratitude For 1t is only by such character that the true meaning of the word is utilized.
 Of all to whom we should be most grateful, is our Heavenly Father, from whom we derive every good and perfect gift.
 We take so much for granted in these times. We are apt to be so covetous and unhappy because we havn't more. We strive and struggle to get what we think we want and forget our friends, and fail to encourage happy compan- ionship and multitudinous privi- leges and joys right within our grasp. In other words, we post pone life and live with the hope of enjoying things later on. What a lack of appreciation we havei
 God is so good to every one of us, and yet how little we think of it. Even on Thanksgiving day we are disappointed and are apt to consider the substance instead of the spirit of the occasion the day passing mechanically-our selfish ness preventing our hearts being touched by the appreciation of Gods great benefcence.
 Let's count our blessings. It will cure discontent. Let's try it; let's not let the frequency of Gods gifts betray us into forgetfulness of the source from which they come. Of all the Psalms, the 103rd is my favorite, because 1t does not ask God for anything just thanks and praises Him for what 1 have.
 Back of the loaf is the snowy flour; And back of the four is the mill; And back of the mill is the sheaf;
 And the shower,
 And the sun,
 And the Fathers will.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
Hrs. Birdie H0lIoway's Residence
 and Contents Total Loss

Mrs. Birdie Holloway's residence on Main street was totally destroy ed by fire Monday evening about 5 o'clock.
 She left a small fire in the heat CT and had gone to a neighbors. She had not been away but few minutes when workmen on E. E. Aliens building nearby discovered that her house was On fire and gave the alarm. The entire build ing was a mass of flames in a very few minutes and 1t was impossible to save the building and only a very few articles of furniture were saved.
 Heroic work on the part of men and boys who formed a bucket brigade saved the Magness resi- dence on an adjoining lot occu- pied by MT. and Mrs. K. T. Hall but 1t had a very narrow escape, having caught fire two or three times but was promptly extinguish- ed.
 Mrs. Holloway lives alone and as there was no one there when the fire started, 1t is not known how 1t originated, but it is supposed that chunk or a stick of wood in the stove rolled against the door and fell out upon the floor. The loss on the house and furnishings is about $1,000. There was S400 in- surance on the building and $200 on the furnishings.
