The Jackson Clarion-Ledger has the

following about the performance of
Coburn's minstrels, who will be at
the Temple tomorrow night:
Coburn's Greater Minstrels enter entertained

Century last night, and judging by
the applause and encores, the show
was greatly enjoyed, many of, the
musicians and actors being compell compelled

ing being an olio of many vaudeville acts,
and some of them, very good.
The first act represents a scene in

TtrncL India, at the palace of the

rajah, the scenery being very fine

Tha minstrels represent members of

the Millionaire Hunting Club of Am

erica, giving their songs and acts in

the presence of the rajah and his
queen, Lester Lucas, with his fine

hnsso voice, doincr the Dart of the

rajah, the interlocutor. The other
singers are Frank Melville, Harry
Ford, Earl Rowland, Charles Cam Cameron,
eron, Cameron, Charles Vermont, Tom Post,
Ed Clifford and Charlie Gano.
Charlie Gano is the real life of the
show. He is not so long on singing,
but he is a fine talker and a superb
actor, reminding one somewhat of the
late George Wilson, in manner and

dress a comedian of the upper class

. and one that always makes a laugh.

mule act was a genuine laugh-pro

ducer.

The contortionist, Harry Toledo,

was good in his part!, which was to

bend and double himself up into all

sorts of shapes, impersonating the
Marvebua Mcphisto. The jokes were

good, clean and new.

The three musical Cates on Saxa-

phones, clarinets, cornets and other
instruments, appealed especially to

those of refined musical taste, being

unexcelled.
The singing of "Mississippi," by
the musical quartette, led by Ed Clif Clifford,

Mr. Bryan is shouting for national
piohibition. Here's hoping he will
have better luck than with the other
national issues he ha3 shouted for.

Hindenbutg says the allies have
lost fiftoan million men, which proves
he is even a greater liar than a general.

It is to be hoped that the report that
the Allies have sent a strong force of

auxiliary cruisers to this side of the

Atlantic, to convoy merchantmen, is

true. Since we won't protect our
commerce ourselves, it will be a good
thing if Great Britain and France will

do it for us.

Florida Girls in Washington
Misses Mary Byfield and Christine
Hannah, two lovely Florida girls, well
known in Ocala and St. Petersburg,

are having a most enjoyable winter in

the national capital. Miss Hannah is

the guest of Miss Byfield, and the two
young ladies are welcome guests at

many of the most brilliant social af-

iairs, among them the great Pan-

American ball and the president's re

ception to the judiciary, which took

place on the evening of Dec. 19. In
reference to the last named event, we

clip the following paragraph from the
Waashington Star. Mrs. Pollock is

If the angels who sung, "On earth
peace, good will toward men," are yet
alive, they probably felt too droopy
and disconsolate to fly this Christmas.
Making New Year resolutions prob probably
ably probably originated in the good old times
when the average man did not think
he was celebrating the holiday sea season
son season unless he was thoroughly soused.
Sobriety and other virtues generally
look very attractive to a man just
getting over a drunk, and it was
therefore much easier to make good
resolutions at that time than at any
other season of the year.

A quiet and well cared for home
used to be the best place in the world,
and, though civilization is making it
scarcer, it is the best place yet.

Danger Signal
If the fire bell should ring would

you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan

ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than

to stop a hre bell when it is ringing,

but should cure the disease that caus

es the coughing. This can nearly al-

ways'be done by taking Chamberlain's

Lough Remedy. Many have- used it

with the most beneficial results. It is
especially valuable for the persistent

cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas

"Well, Mrs. Davies," he said, '2nd

"Oh, I'm pretty well, thank you,"
was the cheerful answer. ..
"Ah, that's right," responded the
clergyman, sympathetically. "I -hardly

spirits, considering your affliction. -I
was afraid I should find you down downhearted."

How to Check That Cold
When it is' painful to breathe and
fever sends chills up and down your
back, you are in for a cold. A timely
dose of Dr. Bell's Pine Tar Honey will
stop the sneezes and sniffles. The
pine balsam loosens the phlegm and
clears the bronchial' tubes, the honey
soothes and relieves the -sore throat.
The antiseptic qualities kill the germ
and the congested condition is reliev relieved.

At Thanksgiving Time One Should

The true meaning of a national
Thanksgiving day is often misunder misunderstood.

bagging a few quails, squirrels, or oth other

indulge in some recreation and enjoy

for recounting our materiaTgain over
our less fortunate brothers during the
fleeting year. There are other various
notions as to the real purpose of a
Thanksgiving day each year.
Whatever may be the ideal purpose
of a real Thanksgiving day, it should
be one as full as possible of good
cheer, but to employ the day in re recounting

blackest kind of complexion. The true
meaning of Thanksgiving means no

in the year. It Is a day when each
person should weigh his motives along
with his ability to help his fellow man
in his own individual way, and to re return

which has befallen him, but to pledge

PREPAREDNESS
The Best Blessing.
We need to be on our guard at the
Thanksgiving season against an ex exaggeration

corn or wheat is not to be compared
in weighing our national blessings,
with an awakened public 'conscience.

It is well to thank God for bountiful
harvests and comfortable homes, but
