IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS

Abundant harvests, national pros

government of our own choice-theso
are certainly grounds for thanksgiv'

should take part. But it is quite
possible-in fact il is common mis-

outward blessings in such a way as

We would as a nation have little or
no ground for thanksgiving whereas
the strongest reason for universal
thanksgiving would still remain II
none of these were present.
The knowledge that God loves the
world. that he reigns supreme and
controls all forces, and is overrulir g
all events to the ultimate overtime "
OF everything that is evil and esta b.
lishment OF absolute righteousness
that is the supreme cause for thanks
giving in as far as the things OF this
world are concerned.
But national thanksgiving can new
er be anything more than hollow
sham unless the hearts OF the wor
shippers are warmed by personal
gratitude TO God for his personal
love and care and protection, and for
the precious and exceeding great
promises which he has given us. Ma

The Facts About the
MCCrary Robbery

From reading the McCreary
County News Of last week one
would think that that splend d
gentleman, d. Z McQueary, editor
of the Pine Knot News, had been
held up and robbed of a large
amount Of money and valua BILE pap
ers. McQueary is trying to handle
that lie just like nc did the 200
armed men that attended the meet
ings OF the canvassing board at
Pine Knot when the board was try
ing to steal the election. McQueary
published in his own paper that 200
armed men from Whitley City had
been in Pine Knot to intimate
those honest men. Not satisfied
with that be sent the same lie to
some of the daily papers. Its the
same old Dock Hogue scheme, tell
lie then swear to it. Anything
right or wrong to help Pine Knot.
McQueary saws that he went to the
Whitley City Improvement Com
pany's office to get a certified copy
of the articles OF incorporation Of
that Company from the County
Clerk. McQueary knew that the
county clerks Office at that time
was not kept in the Whitley City
Improvement Company's office, but
to make his story sound good he
SAYS that it is. County Clerk, Joe
Nyrick, has his Office separate and
apart from the office of the Whitley
City improvement Company, and
every one else since the last election
The truth abour the whole matter
is that \cQueary weuN to the office
of the Whitley City Improvement
{ ompany in SIMPSONS absence to
ct copy of the articles of incnr-
poration of the Whitley City Inn
provement Company. The original
papers are kept in a pigeon hole box
on a table in the Whitley City I'm.
provement Company'S office. When
Sampson returned to- his office and
was informed of McQueary's visit
and what he wanted, Sampson i'm.
mediately looked for these papers
and they were gone. He thought
NcQueary had them. In passing
through Stearns Monday evening
Sampson saw McQuearv at the de
pot. lie asked him for his papers
and McQueary refused to give them
up. Sampson finally persuaded
McOueary to show him that he did
not have the paper. When Nc
Queary convinced Sampson that he
did not have the papers Sampson
passed on. lie did not compel
McQueary at the point of revol.
yer to give up any papers or any,
thing else. Sampson says he had
no revolver, and did not threaten
McQueary in any way. McQueary
assisted 10y Judge Jones; w. F. Hin
lile and Others, had framed up a
scheme to give Sampson some OF
the same medicine they gave County

One Cent Postage

postage. Active steps looking to-
wizards the inauguration of the low
err postage rate will be taken by

the present outlook.

movement for the lower rate The

stantly seeking to enlarge it, so that
when the real battle for lower pos
tage is waged in congress next win

pie backing from the business men,
whom it will most benefit.
Many important postal reforms
have been inaugurated during the
past year, resulting in the elimina-
ton of a huge deficit and the ac
emulation of creditable cash sur
plus. In addition to this plan has
been adopted for a limited parcels
post, to be put into effect early next
year. Advocates OF one cent pos.
tIge declare that in simple justice
the government must establish the
lower rave at once.
Under present conditions first
