OF FARM
RETURN THANKS

Inmates of the poor farm deeply
appreciate the consideration of quite
number of Pensacola people and
charitable organizations for the boun-
tifuI supply given them during the
holiday season. Speaking of the
thoughtfulness for the county poor,
County Commissioner Tracy said:
''It is natural that those who have
had homes of their own, once with
youth and strength of life, often to
think. of those days, and especially
during seasons of happiness for many
folks. So it was at the county poor
farm, where Mr.. Rice and his good
wife were striving to make the in
mates happy. Every inmate was
thought of and was being provided for
as far as resources went, and in these
efforts they were more than benefit
ted when many good people of the
city came forward with presents and
good wishes for ALL These gifts COM
ing from individual friends of the
poor, has caused to be shed flood
of sunshine into the home, and
served the purpose of giving the un-
fortunates a real feast of good things
which lasted more than week
Therefore Mr.. Rice and wife, Joined
by every inmate entrusted to then
care, wish to thank all those who sc
literally and thoughtfully contrib
uted, and to convey the hope for {
Happy New Year, year of prosper
ity, for all the friends of the unfor-
tunate."
Among those who were so liberia
to the uHfortunates were:
Mrs. William Fisher, ST., fruit
/ candy and present for every one il
the home; Ladies of Woodmen Circle
fruit; Mrs. j. McLane ellis, and Sun
day school pupils, fruits; Joseph Z
Jockey school, fruit and candy; Elks
box of fruit, pocket mirrors and pic
lures; Miss Beatrice Howe, fruit an
candies for the inmates.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The first observance of an officially appointed Thanksgiving Day in Amer ica was in Massachusetts in 1881. There had been a great scarcity of provisions and a consequent menace of starvation in the winter of 1630-31, and February 22nd was appointed as a day of fasting and prayer for divine assistance. Before that day arrived a vessel long overdue, and laden with provisions, arrived, and the fast day was changed into one of feasting and thanksgiving. There were also sev- eral observances of thanksgiving in New Netherlands, the first being in February, 1644, on account of a vic- tory over the Indians. Thanksgivings and lasts continued to be observed at intervals in all the colonies, and du- ring the revolution the Continental Congress adopted the practice. Eight days of thanksgiving were appointed by the Congress between 1775 and 1782. Washington also issued several thanksgiving proclamations to the ar my. The Book of Common Prayer of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America directed the first Thursday in November to be observed as thanks giving day. The modern festival of the United States, falling on the last Thursday in November, was institut- ed by President Lincoln in 1863, and all succeeding presidents have follow ed his example.

MACE AND COBURN IN LONG FISTIC ARGUMENT
 JUST 45 YEARS AGO

With 600 sports on board, a special train left New Orleans forty-hve years ago, bound for Bay St. Louis, Miss, where Jem Mace of England and Joe Coburn of America were to
 fight for the worlds heavyweight ti- tie. Joe was a native of Ireland, but a. naturalized American, while lem was an Englishman, part gypsy, and the cleverest fighter of his time. They had been matched to fight in Ireland, and later in Canada, but both fell through. At Bay St. Louis the Cres- cent City contingent was joined by about 400 men and boys from the surrounding country. The betting was 2 to 1 on Mace. Col, Rufus Hart was referee. Mace had Tom Allen and Jem Cusick in his corner, and Coburn's seconds were Tom Kelly and Tom McAlpine.
 savagely, and Joe succeeded in throw ing Mace heavily, the odds shifting to even money. For several rounds Coburn had the best of the argu- ment. Mace hurt his wrist badly in the first round, but Joe didn't know it. Jem fought a clever defensive battle, and Coburn didn't have the nerve to go in and try to finish it, so after three hours and a half of stalling Col. Hart ordered the men to fight or quit. As his warning went unheeded, the referee stopped the contest and called it a draN

POLISH REBELLIONS.

The first blow in the great Polish revolution of 1880 was struck eighty six years ago tonight, Nov. 29, 1880. Poland had. been divided between Rus sia, Austria and Prussia, but the peo
 pie, while they remained outwardly clam and submissive, bitterly resent ed the new regime. Russian Poland had been given fairly liberal consti- tuition, providing for responsible min isters, a senate and legislative cham Der, a national army under the na- tional flag, and 8 separate budget, while personal liberty and freedom of the press were guaranteed, and Polish was made the official language. The impulse to revolution was given by the French, and it was begun by some students, who hoped to seize Grand Duke Constantine, brother of .Empe- TOT Alexander and commander of the Polish army, at his residence near Warsaw. The attempt was made on the evening of Nov. 29, 1880, and, while it failed of it's object, the pop ulace oe Warsaw rose in revolt, and the troops fraternized with the people
 Tl.e instruction was soon suppressed and, as result, Poland was made a Russian province in 1882, and all it's constitutional liberties were lost.

ENGLISH PERIODICAL CHRISTMAS NUMBERS
 ARE THE BEST EVER

Arrangements for the simultaneous publication, in Europe and America, of the Christmas double numbers of the English periodicals, the holiday numbers and supplements of which have become an intrinsic feature of the Yuletide in. many homes, have brought forth this year an unusually attractive array of issues.
 These include the London Graphic, the Illustrated London News, Pears Annual, Holly Leaves the Sketch, Bystander, Queen, and Whitaker's AL manac. News dealers agree that the present holiday issues. the first ship ment of which reached the Bridgeport News Co. today, are the best that have been published.
 One of the features of the Illus trated London News is a supplement plate, a portrait of Sir Douglas Hatg. commanding the British army in France. The Graphic has a photo gravure, Faithful Unto Death" by H. Hatherell, R. I.

THE DUKES OF ARENBERG.

Among the members of Gen. JOf- fre's staff are men from all walks and stations in life, including one scion of family which was formerly num- bered among the sovereign families of Prussia. This is Duke Peter of Aremberg, who at last reports held the rank of captain on the staff of the French Generalissimo, and who Is descended from one of the old mediatized sovereign houses of Ger many. He is the son of Duke Augus- tus or Aremberg, who was at one time the president of the Suez Canal company. His younger brother, Duke Ernest of Aremberg, was a lieutenant of infantry in the French army at the outbreak of the war, and was killed in action in May, 1915. The dukes of Aremberg gain their title from the name of a little market town in Prussia, near the River Ahr. The castle which was formerly the abode of the dukes is still standing. The family has been titled for cen- turies, but it's members were counts until the, latter part of the sixteenth century, when the duchy was created by Rudolph IT, the German Emperor. Later the family settled in France. dHu OuC OI It's u1CulD0IS, known as the Count de Ia Mark, was a promi- nent figure at the court of Marie An toinette. King Charles x, the last of the Bourbon rulers of France. made the title of Duke of Aremberg French honor in 1926. Every mem Der of the family is either a duke or duchess, prince. or princess, and their blood is sufficiently blue to make them matrimonially eligible to mate with any of the reigning families of Europe. Many of the ancestors of the Duke of Aremberg have won dis tinction in battle, and have been inn mortalized by Goethe, Sir Walter Scott and other writers. Under the republic the members of the family have been thorough democrats, and their loyalty to France has never been subject to suspicion.
