And a queer thing about il is that
some of the people never seem TO

watching one place all day long.
They'll slip off for lunch somewhere,

RETAIL PRICE Of
BEEF IS GOING UP
Packers Notify Butchers That
Advances GO Into Effect in
Few Days.

CHICAGO, June An retail
butchers in this city have been mott
fled by the Chicago packers that the
price of beef would be advanced from
one half 10 one cent a pound In the
next few days. The price of meat
is to be increased correspondingly in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
John T. Russell, President Of the
United Master Butchers Association
of America, confirming the announce
ment. said the proposed advance
would be communicated to the retail
butchers throughout the country, ami
within a short time the consumers
everywhere would feel the effects of
the increase. The scarcity of cattle
and the action Of commission mer-
chants in putting up the price of beef
on the hoof are said TO be respon-
sible for the move on the part Of the
packers
THE commission dealer" said Mr.
Russell, is trying to stand in with
the farmer. The retail butcher has
been endeavoring to keep the price
Of meat down II is to his interest
to do this. because he deals with the
consumer, while the commission man.
who has no connection with the con-
sumer is looking out for his Gus
toners.
During the last year the meat sales
have fallen off from 30 to 40 per
cent This il due to the fact that
people will not stand the high prices
for which the middleman is respou-
sible."

At meeting of the directors of the
Citizens National Bank of Lancaster,
KY. the following resolutions were

death this institution has lost one of
its highest officers, wise counsellor,
and just man; The community and
county a good citizen, an upright and
christian gentleman.
That his family have lost kind and
loving husband and father; That we
express our sincerest sympathy to
them in their bereavement, knowing
that they look to Him who doeth all

Farmers Busy.

The farmers throughout the county
last week were taking advantage of
the favorable weather and were
gathering in all available forage for
the winter; fodder was being shredded
and baled, silos filled and every thing
possible being utilized to help bring
the stock through the cold weather.
Perhaps after all the short corn crop
and the high prices of hay and other
roughness will prove valuable lesson,
in that it will make the farmer more
resourceful and will teach him to make
use of farm products which have here
tofore gone to waste.

Popular Error Holds That President Lin
coin Issued First Thanksgiving
Proclamation.

There is discussion as to the origin
OF the present national custom of OBJ
serving Thanksgiving day. 1t was held
by large number of people, until re-
Gently, that the custom was first es-
tablished by President Lincoln during
the Civil war. Examination of the
records showed that this was mistake,
A number of the presidents who pre-
coded Mr.. Lincoln issued Thanksgiving
proclamations, the practice dating back
to Washington. They had been de-
sultory, however, and there had been
noregular REPETITION of the proclamation
until after it had been issued by Mr..
Lincoln.
Thd custom of observing a day OF
thanksgiving and prayer is as old as
the civilization of the country. 1t was
inaugurated in New England very
shortly after the arrival of the first
English immigrants, and it gradually
became the day of all others in the
year, Tor surprising Christmas in the
enthusiasm and universally of its OBJ
servance. In the southern states, prior
to the Civil war, it was quite general,
though there was no common day Of
celebration. The governors of the
states issued their procamations with.
out reference to the dates set by the
governors of other states, and it moi
infrequently happened that the cele.
bration would occur in Maryland on g
day different from that which was OBJ.
served in the neighboring states. There
were commonwealth, prior to the
Civil war, where no proclamation was
issued, and there was no observance
whatever.

Friday night, and after funeral SER
vices at the home on Sunday morning,
conducted bv Rev. Beagle. assisted by
Rev. Pollitt, his remains were taken on
the eleven o'clock train to Richmond,
for interment in the cemetery at that
place. Mr.. Johnsons death was due
to cancer of the liver. He had been
i'll for some time. but had grown bet
ter, and his last illness was of only a
few days duration, in fact so short was
his illness that but few knew that he
was seriously i'll.
Besides his wife, who before her
marriage to Mr.. johnson was Miss
Loula Arnold, he is survived by three
children, Miss Minnie johnson. an
adopted daughter, and Miss Florence
Johnson and Mr. Allen johnson. and
one sister Miss Tine johnson, all of
whom resided at the family home in
this city. Squire Sam Johnson, as
he was famiiarly known was born and
reared in Garrard county, and was in
his seventy sixth year at the time of
his death. He was a gentleman in all
that the word implies, affable, cheer

seemed to electrify the country and to
cement the states in their observance
of Thanksgiving, though there were
commonwealths which for some years
afterward selected a different date.
This gradually ceased, until now the
celebration has become a thoroughly
national and universal event. For a
while it eclipsed the Fourth of July,
and in New England today it far sur
passes Christmas in interest. With
the disappearance of sectionalism, how
ever, the Fourth of July has assumed
its normal place in American holidays,

People do not gladly cheer me; l have
little time to play;
Others go to view the wonders to be
found across the sea;
But | toll through all the seasons there
is little rest for me.
All that can earn is quickly claimed
by those who lie in wait,
Overcharging me in order that their
profits may be greet.

Through the hardest kind of digging;

Fortune I've deied;

Others know the joys of leisure, but
there's little rest for me;
Yet how weak is he that sadly sits
