THANKSGIVING:
Fret b at McKinley, very proper
y, in apprec alive sentiment and
expression, calls upon the people, by
prccluration, to unite in Thanks
giving on Thursday, 24th inst. Our
blessed, and
•o the Divinity, that shapes all des
■icies, a p.usi , with heartfelt, thank
ful thanks, is cmioently right and
appropriate.
TAKE THE DOSE.
The IK mocratic party, the party
■f free trade, the henchmen of the
Cobdcn Club, the purveyors of Eng
and’s gr; ud schemes of aggrandizc
.hent, can now be fully surfeited with
ohdid imperialism, take an overdose
ol the stuff, as they did of civil ser
vice reform by order of Dr. Cleve
land, annex the Philippines. If you
wallow free trade, take in, an archi
pelago.

ELKINS’ COACH.
The Charleston Gazette, dubs Mr.
Elkins, “Our Exclusive Senator,”
because, (ovsooth, he rides in a priv
ate car. burrowed from an ex-Demo
eratie U. S. Senator. Might Dot the
editor ol the Gazette, bo a little
rash in hi- rush on exclusiveness,
’ossibly, we all borrow a “plume”
now and then, and cftlmes the man
--
who rides in the Pullman car, en
dures more, if not owniog more
than his equivalent of God's crea
tion, who has to ride in the common
coach. Clip it easy, Mr. Editor—
the engineer cannot get along with
out his fireman, nor can either, with
out the bard worked muscles of
the men who construct the tracks,
build and repair the iron horse.
Rather guess, that Elkins with
"muddy boots and boroy bands,”
would with his brains be, a la Bob
bie Burns, ‘A man for a’ that.”
Brains and charachter, not wealth,
makes aristocracy. Shoddy makes
—well—fools. Leave the adjective
out.
McGRAW’S MEETING.
Mr. McGraw had a very large and
attentive audience at tbo Court
House. He did well, but he might
have saved his collar this time. A
man who undresses when he ad
dresses an audience, should always
have bis valet with him. However,
he did not do himself any personal
harm. His speech was enjoyed.
Good rhetoric, good humor and
pleasant hits with approveable dec
lamation. Our friend, of the Herald,
suffered somewhat, as the servant
bearer of Dayton’s affidavits, and
our worthy postmaster, under the
Home Rule doctrine caught a splin
ter from imported .Grafton timber
(McGraws home) that lore the
bandages from a sensitive wound
All in all, tho Grafton man made a
a good humored, enjoyable speech,
jumping pretty well on bis oppo
nents, and skipping solid issues.
SCHOOL ELECTION.
Dear to every heart, are the best
interests of the public schools.
They are no longer to be considered
pauper or common schools, but the
schools of the country, where intelli
gence can be nurtured and develop*
eel, and the highest types of patriot
ism and general morality be incul
cated and fostered. Martin9burg
has an excellent independent school
Bystem, formulated upon a more than
ordinary plane of practical culture,
with ethical appendages. These
schools need uot only intelligent,
but earnest, heartfelt support. Not
alone the half hearted wishes of
doubting believers, but the earnest,
practical, manly aid, of the brain
and brawn of the firm believers. To
this end, the friends of the public
schools, should elect the friends of
Ihe schools, and on Tuesday next
this becomes a duty. Well enough,
if you can go to college, be college
bnd if you please, but please do not
let that interfere with your helpful
influences in behalf of the lads and
lassies of your neighb irs homes, to
whom in time, goes the garb of
responsibility. College bred men,
may not want to serve as school of
ficials, but there are heads of fami
lies, of good moral tendencies who
will not shirk the duty, energetic,
industrious men, hard working men
3f business, from whom to choose.
The old board, with Charles H.
Wolfes, as president, has acted
reasonably well for the people, and
for an additional school buildirg to
supply actual, necessary room to the
children, have incurred extra cost,
ind possibly, thereby, some opposi
tion. But, the people own the prop
erty. It is their investment, much
better, than Houses of reformation,
iails and penitentiaries, more honor
ible and praiseworthy. Don’t kick
,he old board for doing good. Can’t
run the risk of doing worse. Look
ng at Wolfes’ large family, his
surroundings, his personal standing
is a citizen, and his high standing
vith beneficial orders, we believe be
s worthy of rc-election.
YOUR DUTY.
Clearly, you are not a pollroom.
Surely, you are no man’s servant,
without your self abasement. Hon
’stly, your manhood is not purchas
ible for a few cents. Morally, your
self respect cannot be dirtied and
stained by the temptation of a glass
)f grog, followed by abed in the
’utter. Intellectually,- you are
scarcely a subject lor hypnotism or
luestioned as to lunacy. If correct
n these essentials, you mean to do
"ight, and enforce the right by your
roice and vote. That is what good
people endorse, and that is why they
indorse the McKinley administra
tion, and why they may discriminate
between a congressional cross road
iddler and a White House states
man. But, just now you have a
.'ery important duty to perform. It
s hard, sometimes, to work with
.he material and cut out a full gar
ment, but if you cannot give Mc
Kinley fall measure of goods to
back him this time, guess its better
,o give a remnant by way of assist,
ind try to do better next time.
L’bere are, also plenty of good, hon
est men to-help make our laws, as
there are plenty of good workmen in
ill callings, but among them, yon
will find some a little more skillful,
slightly handier, quicker, readier, at
both planning and executing, than
ii8 equally faithful neighbor. In
his respect, and thereby uo disre
spect, to our neighbor across the
street, we suggest, that a man well
ic^uainted with parlimentary law,
)f experience iu the application of
!aw as it exists, capable and compe
tent to draft and enact statutes, will
best subserve the interests of all our
- _
people, our neighbors and others, in
the legislature. Therefore, it is not
going too far, or suggesting too
much, by sayiag that it should be a
pleasent, as well as a proper duty,
for the people, to elect Mr. Grant
Pitzer lo represent them, creditably
as he would, as a delegate to the
legislature.

Piesldeut McKinley Designates Nov. 24
as the day for National Thanksgiving.
Washington, Oct. 29.—The Presi
dent yesterday issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
“The approaching November
brings to mind the custom of our an
cestor,hallowed by time and rooted in
our most sacred tradition, of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings he has vouchsafed to us
during the past year.
‘ Few. years in cur history have
alfoided such cause for thanksgiving
as this. Wc have been blessed with
abundant harvests, our trade and
commerce have been wonderfullly
increased, our public credit has been
improved and strengthened, all sec
tions of our common country have
been brought together ind knitted
into closer bonds of national purpose
and unity.
“The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud of war, but
as we were compelled to take up the
sword in cause of humanity, we are
permitted to rejoice that the conflict
has been of brief duration, and the
losses we nave had to mourn, though
grievous and important, have been
so few, cohsideriDg the great results
accomplished, as to inspire us with
gratitude and praise the Lord of
Hosts. We may laud and magni
fy His Holy name that the cessation
of hostilities came so soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows
and disasters that attend protracted
war.
“I do, therefore, invite all my fel
low citizens, as well those at home as
these who may be at sea or sojourn
ing in foreign lands, to set apart
any observe Thursday, the 24th day
of November, as a day of national
thanksgiving, to como together in
their several places of worship for a
service of praise and thanks to
Almighty God for all the blessings
of the year, for tho mildness of the
seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil, for the continued prosperity of
the people for the devotion and
valor of the countrymen for the
glory of cur victory and the hope
of a righteous peace, and to pray
that the divine guidance which has
brought us hereforeto to safety and
honor may be graciously continued
in the years to come.
William McKinley.

any good. The disease wa3 very trouble
some for 12 or 13 years. In the spring
I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla

medicine, I was completely cured. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla also increased my weight.”

ha was cured. He haa had no trouble
with scrofula since, but is perfectly well.”
