Howto Observe Thanksgiving Day. The last Thursday in Novem ber is the day set apart by this great country of ours, (these grand and glorious United States) for Thanksgiving day, a day wherein every man, woman and child should how their heads in prayer to our Maker for the mul itude of blessings which He has seen fit to bestow upon each and every one of us, though wicked and sinful we might have been all of our lives. He has been good to the sinner as well as to the saint, he has caused the rain to fall upon the unjust as well as the jest, and yet how far we fall short of our duty to our Maker! A great many people, certainly misconstrue the object and purposes of Thanksgiving day. There are some who with gun and dog take to the fields to shoot the innocent and unsus pecting quail or squirrel; many others,for any kind of sport,fun or frolic, amusements of any nature, anything but the real purpose for which this day was intended. Some few have a different view and these will remain at home and talk, and discuss their neigh bors, their faults and habits, not for a moment do they speak of the good traits of these friende and neighbors, but gossiping and tattling seem to be the ruling en joyment of the day. Then there is a class, who well know the ob ject and purpose of Thanksgiv ing day and this class though small, yes, very small, will re spect this good day and spend it as the day should be. A few of these good people will meet in their holy sanctuary anc there lift up their voices in prayei t<j their Master for the many blessing and comforts showered upon them and theirs. This class of people are few and far between yet the good Lord will hear anc answer these prayers. My deal young men, stop and reflect ers you desecrate this great and good day. Celebrate it as it should be and as it was intended to be, a day of prayer and thanksgiving to our good Master for his good ness and kindness to us through all of our lives. As the day rolls around we oft times reflect, when we see the youth of the country If you ever want your watch repaired by skillful repairers, bring it to us.

Turn over a new leaf, young man in life’s history and vow to do sc no more, but instead assembh with those who do know anc who will always be found doinj the right thing at your church and there in humble submissioi to His will, offer up to your Mas' ter a prayer for his blessings. Do not desecrate this good da] in the wicked and sinful way tba ’ you have been doing in the past ! hold this Thanksgiving as a hob ! day. Alleging that it is in violatior of the federal law prohibiting the operations of lotteries, Prosecut ing Attorney Horsley has in structed the merchants o Springdale that they must dis continue the custom of holding monthly drawings in which vari ous articles of merchandise an offered as prizes. Business mei in other towns in Washingtor ! county are said to have com plained of the system in vogue ii Springdale, which attractec crowds to that town and increas ed tiie business of its merchants to the detriment of those of th< other towns. It is stated threats were made that the attention o the grand jury would be callec to the alleged violation of the law unless the drawings wren abandoned. The merchants o Springdale who have been con ducting drawings claim to have been entirely innocent of know ingly violating the law, but upor the advice of the prosecuting attorney have agreed, so it is stated, to discontinue the draw ings. One of the big drawings was to have been held Saturday but it was announced early in the week that it would not tak< place.

Mr. Tipton has made arrangements to get the corn for them.

Addruas 1 Ur. li. V. Fierce. Buffalo, N. Y. Address to Teachers. To the Teachers of Eastern District of Carroll County. ' I have again been appointed County Examiner. I shall follow the same general course in the future that I have followed in the past. Because of a dearth of teachers in the county I have raised grades and given parties license. I trust that in the future that this contingency will not arise, and I shall certainly refuse to raise grades so long as other appli cants can make them. No excuse can now exist for lack of qualifications, as there ; are a number of good schools all : over the county that are in ses j sion from six to nine months in | the year. The issuance of a license upon the proper showing is an official !duty and no personal friendship, or malice should have any bear ing with the Examiner in the dis charge of his official acts. : If any favors are to be given : | they should go to those on first examination and not to those who i have presumed to teach the ; branches on which they are ex amined. - The State Superintendant of schools has requested those un der him to construe the law in reference to the extension of cer I tificates to the plain letter and intent of the act which request ’: is surely timely and should be followed by all Examiners. : The same rule will apply be tween the Examiners of the two districts of the county in the fu i ture that has been in force in the past, viz:— That those living in a district must be examined in that district. If any one who lives in the Eastern district wishes to teach in the Western district his pa pers and money will be trans ferred to that district without cost to him. While Carroll county in the way of schools has nothing of which to be ashamed, still there is room for improvement. J. C. Bunch. Carrollton Items. We’ve been having a little winter.

HE IS NOT A QUITTER Mr. Standish is Still Trying to Harness White River The Tribune is in receipt of an other bunch of matter from W. H. Standish of Aurora, Mo,, in the interest of his White river power plan, concerning which scheme this paper had considerable to say last winter. Although Mr. Standish has met with some very pronounced opposition in his efforts to have Congress declare White river unnavigable above Cotter, he is still keeping up the fight with vigor and from the tone of the matter just received at The Tri bune office, we judge that he has strong hopes of winning out. To begin with The Tribune was inclined to look upon Mr. Standish’s scheme with great favor and we are not to say op posed to it yet. We confess, however, that the position of Con gressman Floyd, as explained in these columns several months ago, has caused us to look at the matter somewhat differently. The proposition yet being an open question and one in which the people of Carroll county are vitally interested, some fifteen miles of this stream being encom passed within our borders, while a hundred miles or more encircle tributary territory, The Tribune columns are open for its discus sion. As has been heretofore ex plained, the scheme has for its object the harnessing of water power on the White to run vari ous kinds of factories, electric railways, etc. The barrier that blockaded the way for these en terprises, is permission from Con gress to build dams and tunnels, which would, of course, obstruct the way for steam boats. Mr. Standish contends that the stream can never be made navi gable above Cotter, and that if it could be made navigable the benefits to the country to be de rived from the industries driven by the power plants he and others propose to establish would be of vastly more value. From the arguments presented by Mr. Standish we take it that the chief opposition to his meas ure is centered in the idea that such a concession as he seeks is of great value and that a tax should be placed thereon so that the government may profit in the transaction. In Southern Mis souri in the recent campaign a fight was made against Folk for the United States Senate a nd in favor Stone solely because Stone was known to favor Mr. Stan dish’s scheme, while Folk had announced that he favored taxa tion of water power. The suc cess of Stone is hailed with great delight by Standishe,s because of hisa ttitudetoward this measure. To make a long story very 9hort, Mr. Standish argues that vast wealth may be brought to the regions of the Oiarks because of the cheap power for manufac turing and he cites what has been done with the rivers in the southeast ean mountain regions which a government report esti mates is saving to the people of that section more than S7,000,000 per annum. The rights to use these streams were granted in the same manner Mr. Standish seeks to have the rights granted to harness White river. | In his letter to us Mr. Standish | encloses a petition which he de I sires the people of Green Forest ; to sign a copy of which follows : TO THE GOth CONGRESS We, at Groen Forest, Carroll county, Arkansas, are located in the Northwest corner of I Township 20, Range 23, directly south of Stone county, Missouri, and state that we desire Congress to grant a dam and tunnel privi lege at section 5, township 23, range 20, on the White river about a mile and a half above Forsyth, Taney county, Mis souri, and to not require a lock at the dam as we believe it would be useless, and an imposition that would retard the investment of capital to develop electric power on the White river. We futher state that in our! opinion steamboat navigati n if it could be had on the White River in Missouri would not be of the least benefit to anyone located in Carroll County, Ark ansas, and that it should not be insisted upon to the detriment of electric power development against the protest of the peo pie of Missouri. We futher state that electric! p 1 i !i ii 0 II $ I I I!
