Thanksgiving.

Day after tomorrow has been set
apart by the President of the United
States and the Governors of the va
rious States as day of Thanksgiving
and prayer for continued blessings
There are many things for which we
should be thankful. Aside from
health and plenty upon which TO sub
sist, we should be thankful that the
United States has a President who
has kept this country out of war,
while in Europe men are being slain
by the million for no just cause. The
craving for little strip of country
by ambitious rulers brings on war
OF conquest, and when the drum taps
men who have but small concep-
ton of the contention, enters the war
to be slain upon fields of battle, leav-
ing their wives and children to fight
life's battle in a cold and unfriendly
world.
We should pray for peace in En-
p rope, and thank God that the United
States has no part but peaceful adj
MONT ions to play in the greatest
of struggles that has been in progress
for more than fifteen months.
Tranquility has much to do in bring
ing about happiness, and our prayer
to benificent God is, that war in Eu
rope cease, and that happiness will
again reign in the homes of that now
torn to pieces country.

While in Campbellsville, last Sum-
day week, the writer had the pleasure
of hearing Rev. j. S. Chandler in the
forenoon at the Methodist church
and Rev Link, pastor of the Presby-
terrain Church, at the evening sery-
ices. The day was rainy and disagree
able hence small congregations were
out. Rev. Chandler, who is known TO
all Columbia, preached in his usual
forceful manner, and from expressions
we heard while in Campbellsville, his
flock and the people generally are de-
lighted with him and his two daught-
ers, Misses Maggie and Mary. Rev.
Links acquaintance here is limited,
but we could tell from his discourse
that the members of his church could
not help being in love with his teach
ings, and our conclusion was that we
had heard a. minister of great in
fluence .'@ 2"

work on the Jamestown and Russell
Springs road, was progressing nicely.
There has been graded $500 feet and

stated that the people are higly elated
over the building of the road and that
no one can be found willing to throw
distractions in the way. He believes

Boots Owens Dead.

A dispatch from Glasgow dated Nov.
Goth, states that George Barbour, of
color, died here yesterday at the age
of 1l2 years, and that he was soldier
in both the Mexican and Civil wars.
Here are the facts about tie de-
ceased: In the first place, his name
was not Barbour, but George Owens,
and his nick name was Boots Owens.
He was born and reared in Columbia
and was the property of DR.. Hector
Owens until he was 81 years old By
law procedure he became free when
he reached his majority.
When our trouble with Mexico came,
in 1857, DR.. Owens entered the
United States service, as a surgeon,
going to the front, taking Boots with
him, as his servant. Boots was not
sworn in as a soldier in that conflict.
When the war closed he returned to
Columbia and remained here until
1852 when he left under the following
circumstances:
At that time DR.. B. F. Wheat, who
was druggist in Columbia, was be-
ing visited by his brother-in-law,
Billie Gum, who lived at Greensburg.
Boots and Gum, the latter being a
boy, had some trouble, and Col. Ed
Butler went to Gums rescue. Boots
threw rock at Butler, hitting him
upon the head, cutting severe cash,
AZ this juncture crowd of men got
after the darkey, and DR.. Wheat shot
him, the ball passing through his
body, every body believing that the
wound would prove fatal. Boots was
picked up and carried to the court
house yard, and when night came he
| was removed by some darkies, and hs
was never again seen in this place
The next heard of him, he had Joined
an Ohio colored regiment and the com
mand had been sent South. He re
NAMED in the service until the wal
closed, and then turned up at Glas
gov.
Mr.. John Eubank, who died in thi.
place one year ago, was in the Mexican
war, and was with DR.. Owens an(
Boots while the contest was on. Mr.
Eubank was eighty-five years old anC
he stated to the writer a short tim,
before he died, that Boots and him
self were about the same age, if an.
difference Boots a few weeks tn,
youngest. Eubank and Boots grew
up in this town together, hence tn,
darkey reported to be 112 years oil
could not have been more than SO.
The story that Boots captured SAINT
Annals wooden leg, is a ''falderal.
