FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, ISOG.
milt IMM STltlAli ISSUE.
On December 18th, next, the Breeze
will issue a 12 page industrial issue.
It will contain a write up of all the
principal enterprises and businesses of
Douglas, aud will be embellished with
suitable illustrations. It will do cred
it to Douglas, give her past history,
her present condition, and her future
prospects. We shall be careful not
to exagerale matters, but all who know
of Douglas’ wonderful growth during
the past two years, and the bright
prospects that stand out ahead of her,
will agree that an industrial issue,
presenting this matter to the outside
world cannot help but accomplish
some good for our town.
Now, for the business end of th s
matter; tin business men and other
proporty owners of Douglas are aware
that there will be some expense ai
tacbed to this project, and all who
want to see Douglas grow and pros
per, and especially those who expect
to be benetltted by the growth of
Douglas, h ill be expected to stand an
r(|uaJ and proralta share of the ex
{tense, not in the of a donation
to the editor, but in the way of adver
tising. Every business man in Doug
las will be expected to insert a good
large Advertisement iu this issue. It
will be a good investment for them hi -
cause enough of these papers will be
printed to give every family in Coffee,
Ware, Pierce and Appling a copy, be
feides a large number will be sent to
the ti irlli and west.
A representative of the Breeze will
call on every business man in Douglas
in a few days, and we trust that every
man will do his duty and enable us to
make a creditable showing for Doug
las.
It is said that there will be no tarifl
legislation at the forthcoming ses
sion of congress.
AO HUNT 1 KOM POLITICS.
From the present outlook it seems
(bat political agitation will not only
ot cease, but will be kept up briskly
for the next four years.
Chairman Mark Hanna, of the Re
publican national com mil tec, nnnounc
d a few days ago that he intended to
maintain the organization of bis com
mittee for the next four years, and
that the committee would act as po
litical advisers to the President, all of
the while usiug every means in its
power to crush out what he terms “the
free silver heresy.”
Mr. Bryan's “Address to Bi-metal
ists, which was published in t! e
Breeze a few weeks ago, urges all
silver clubs and other Democratic or-
to maintain thoir
nation aud keep up the tight.
The Breeze had hoped that the pub
lic issues would be dropped until the
next campaign opens up. The flnan
ciai policy of this government has been
mapped out for four years, and there
is no wav of changing it during this
time. If the gold standard is not the
thing we need we will know it better
from expeiience and observation four
jours hence than we can leara it from
reading or listening to the pratings of
political prophets.
Now, the Breeze can give Mr. Han
na a pointer on “crushing out ; tlie
free silver heresy,’” to-wit: give us
prosperous times, fair prices for south
ern farm products, remunerative em
ployment for labor, and plenty of the
“circulating medium ’ to transact the
business of the country.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day.
Did you sow broad fields of smiles in
the hearts o r those around you? Did
’n beaming < ountenunce proclaim your
thankfulness to God for His goodness
jto you? Did you feast on that d:y
I and forget to divide with the sick and
j suffering, the poor and needy?* It is
(our duty to God to minister unto the
| wants of such unfortunates, and no
] bet c time can come than Thanks
giving. There is always someone,
maybe a poor and needy friend, who
would appreciate the dainties of a well
! tilled basket; and even though they
' be strangers we should endeavor to
make the memory of 7 hanksgivmg an
oasis in the desert of their lives.
In observing Thanksgiving do some
thing to make others thankful.

Thin, Pale
Children
One satisfaction in giving
Scott's Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
of it. Another satisfaction is
because it will make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity, it should be
given to ail children who arc
too thin, or too pale, Jt docs
not make them over-fat, but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood.
Wc have a book telling you more on
the subject. Sent fra - for the asking.

OWNEY ON HIS TRAVELS.
The Famous Albany Fostofßco IJoe and
flis Voyage to China.
On Aug. 19, 1895, Owney was pho
tographed, walked up the gang
plank of th# good ship Victoria of
th# N. P. S. 8. Cos. and was wel
comed by Captain Panton, whose
guest ho was to be. Owney liad his
credentials in a traveling bag, and
be carried also his blanket, brush
and comb, his inotal harness for
full dress and letters of introduction
to the postal authorities of the
world. As the steamer backed out
from tho dock hundreds of peoplo
waved thoir hands and wished Ow
ney a safe and prosperous voyage,
and so the trip began.
Ownoy was soon tho pet of the
crew, and after an uneventful voy
age ho arrived at Yokohama on Oct.
3. Hero his baggage was examined
with no little ouriosity by tho offi
cials, as no dignitary had before en
tered Japan who owned so many
decorations that he was obliged to
carry them in a bag.
It was concluded that Ownoy must
be either a dog of very high rank or
tho property of a distinguished per
son, and an account of him was
promptly forwarded for tho infor
mation of his imperial majesty the
mikado.
A few days later an oflicial waited
upon Ownoy and presented him
with a passport bearing the seal of
tho mikado. It was addressed to tho
American dog traveler, and in very
flowery language extended to him
tlio freedom of the interior country.
There wore some stipulations, which
in all probability Owney would have
agreed to had ho made tho trip.
Some wore as follows: “The bearer
is expressly cautioned to observe in
ovory particular the directions of
the Japanese government printed in
Japanese characters on tho back of
tho passport, an English translation
of which is given herewith, and he
is oxpeoted and required to conduct
himself in an orderly and concilia
tory manner toward tho Japanese
authorities and people. ” Tho pass
port also forbade him to “attend a
fire on liorsobaok, ” warned him not
to write “on temples, shrines or
walls, ” and politely requested him
not to “drive too fast on narrow
roads. ”
There was no timo for sido trips,
and, uftor meeting many officials,
Ownoy sailed from Yokohama, ar
riving at Ivobi on Oct. 9, where ho
received medals and anew passport
from tho emperor. Ho was at Maji
Oct. 19, Shanghai Oct. 26 and Fu
chau Oot. 31, where also he rooeived
moro medals and was tho subject of
* ovation. His fame had procoded
htm, and n4 (feu latter port ho re
coived an invitation to visit the U.
S. S. S. Detroit, which was lying in
tho harbor. Or.e day tho marine
gangway of this lino man-of-war
was astonished to soo a bomedaled,
shaggy dog oqjno up the ladder, wag
ging bis tail and showing all tho do,
light that a patriotic Yankee should
at tho sight in foroign lands of tho
stars and stripes. Tho marino al
most laughed as Owney stepped
aboard and ran up to tho officer of
the deck as though he had known
him all his life. —Charles Frederick
Holder in St. Nicholas.
A Scholar of the Autiquo Typo.
Tlio late Dr. Fisher, tho sonior fel
low of Magdalen college, had been a
resident at Oxford for nearly 70
years, and ho was ono of tho last
Jinks with tho old days of the uni
versity. Ho hoapd Kcble preach the
famous assize sermon in 1833 oq
“National Apostasy,” which was re
garded as the start of tho Oxford
movement.
Dr. Fisher was elected to a Buck
inghamshire fellowship of Magdalen
in 1838, and he had ever since made
that college his homo. Routh had
then been president for more than 45
years, mid the discipline of tho col
lege had become considerably relax
ed under his rule, which lasted for
IS years longer, when he died at the
ago of 100. The old fellows of Mag
dalen wore a jolly, whist playing,
guzzling, port wine drinking sot. It
Was some years after Dr. Fisher's
election that ono of tho fellows died
drank in tho night in bis college
rooms. Dr. Fisher was a good clasr
sical scholar of the old school, hut
country pursuits were the delight of
liis life, particularly trout fishing,
and bo was an excellent shot and a
keen naturalist and botanist.—Lon
don Truth.
Fiction.
Legitimately produced, and truly
inspirited, fiction interprets human
ity, informs th a understanding and
quickens the affections, it reflects
ourselves, warns us against social
follies, adds rich specimens to our
cab-not of characters, dramatizes
life for the unimaginative, daguerre
otypes it for the unobservant, mul
tiplies experience for thp.isoiated or
inactive and cheers age, retirement
and invalidism \yitk an available

A young lady friend calls a certain
