The Coyville Press from Coyville, Kansas • 4

Thanksgiving. In addition to the many blessings for which the people should return thanks, we would remind them of a few things that they might otherwise forget. They should be thankful that, notwithstanding they have sold their hogs at 4 cents and bought them back at 15 cents, the 1-killer has passed them by. They should be thankful that the broad and fertile plains of the tar west still offer them a refuge after the deadly mortgage has got in its work on their homes. The people should be thankful that the merchants have given them goods on credit when they were out of money, and the merchants shonld be thankful that by so doing they have made room on their shelves for new and more salable goods.

The man with the prairie schooner, who has "been west," should be thanktul that his "wife's folks in Missouri" are willing to receive him back, his wife's folks should be thankful that he staid away as long as he did. Everybody in Coyville should be thankful for the opportunity of getting a square meal for 20 cents at the M. E. church next Thursday. And even the editor should be thankful that while he has not made a fortune by the publication of bis paper, neither has he lOst one.

We were not present at the Lyceum last Monday evening, but are informed that everything worked very smoothly, and that 'Squire Harshberger and Dr. Wetmore especially distinguished themselves on the ques. tion of prohibition, which was decided in favor of Harshberger. Next day evening "Woman Suffrage" will be discussed, and those who do not attend will miss a rare treat, as Messrs. Claiborne and Harshberger are to be pitted against each other, and Claiborne threatens to "chaw up" his adversary bodily, while Harshberger is calmly confident that he will perform the same office for Claiborne.

W. A. Nelson has sold the farm owned by John Armstrong, of Toronto, to a gentleman named Birchfield, of Brown county, Kansas, for $9,000. Mr. Birchfield will move to Toronto at once, and put up a business building which he will occupy himself with a stock of dry goods and groceries.

Buffalo Clipper: Some pilfering. malicious, low lived thief took advantage of the opportunity offered dy a broken window light in the front of Johnson hardware store, on Wednesday night, and effected an entrance through the side light by removing the sheet of tin which was tacked over the opening, large enongh to admit a man one end at a time, and made himself tamiliar with the cutlery department by taking about $60 worth of knives and razors from the show case.
