It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord not only at Thanks¬
giving time but everyday in the year for the many blessings which we en¬
joy. Thanksgiving Day serves as a reminder to us to show our appreciation
tc :he many things that we are apt to take lor granted.
There is no end to the list of blessings for which we should all be
thankful as individuals, as families and as citizens of a free nation.
We ov/e a great debt of gratitude to our forefathers for establishing
car great country on the basis of freedom of worship. To this day we can
worship as we please. Let us all take advantage of this v/onderful priv-
i' e and be thankful for it.
Attend the church of your choice and thank God for the opportunity.

Sunday night around
Stephen; Restaurant, better
known as the Drug Store Res-
taurant, and Sally’s Beauty i
Shoppe burned. I
The Stephens closed the
taurant about 11:00 and went
home. They had been home
only a few minutes when they
were notified that the restau¬
rant was afire. Mr. Stephens
said when he got there that the |
fires was so hot he couldn’t get |
anything out. Sally’s Beauty
joined the restaurant
on the south, and according to
the spectators the fire started,
or, it is believed that it started,
in the beauty shoppe. The res¬
taurant and beauty shoppe
were completely destroyed, also
everything in them.
The John L. Case Store joins
the restaurant on the north. It
has a concrete block side that
joins the restaurant and a flat
roof about 12 or 15 feet wide
before it meets the gable roof.
The gable roof caught afire,
but was brough under control

to keep the Case
Store from burning. These men
stayed on the roof with water j
hoses going full blast and the J
blaze going several feet high ■
"nd covering most of the roof
part of the time. There is a
pump in back of the Case Store
that made a stronger pressure
of water. This played a large
pan in saving the store.
While the men on the roof
were fighting the fire, there
were other people carrying out
the contents of the store.
sections of the store were
most empty when the fire was

Trenton To Elect Officers, Dec. 1
Politics are buzzing around i
Trenton again. Tuesday, De-
1 the elect City election will;
be held to a mayor, re-|
corder, and 4 councilmen.
Up until the past few days
everything was very quiet
about the election and it looked
like that there wouldn’t be a
full ticket, but about the last
day or two before the deadline
for qualifying things began to
buz. At the end of the dead
line for qualifying there were
enough qualified to make two
full tickets. About any time we
look around the square we see
little groups of politicians ga-
thered talking to some one to
find out if they are registered
so they can vote or if they can

Lions Minstrel Cne Of The Rest
The Minstrel Show, ‘‘South-

day and Friday by the Dade
County Lions Club was a hi¬
larious affair. Each night
about 200 watched and some¬
times wondered who was up on
the stage under that eerie
light.
The play, written, produced,
direetd, costumed and lighted
May Divine, was a local
version of an old times mins-
trel show. The all local actors
and actresses, wearing special
costumes and no make up ex-
cept around the mouth, played
their parts under a gray, bluisli
light which made them hard to
recognize but gave the proper
illusion of minstrels giving en-
tertainment.
Most of the cast was on the
stage the entire time. Oleron
