And skedaddle, awful quick, 'Fore my daddy, with a knife. Sneaks up on you for your lite. Just remember what 1 say. you'll die Thanksgiving Day, J And be eat up. legs and wings. Breast, and all the giblet things ; As for me, I'll take your heart, ^ 'Less you very soon depart. Gobble! Gobble! What say you? ( Of your bones we'll make a stew, , j Feed your feet to pussy cat, c Stick your feathers in a hat. Don't you think, old Gobble Bird, j Turkey meat is so absurd ; ( Americans as dad, j Eat the best that's to be had. } — Charles Albert Brewton.

This will add nearly four milt lions to the list of ratable* and will . add materially to the bank taxes. ( Under the Buck Act the banks have been escaping taxation, to a large ex- { tent by deducting non-taxable securities. In the case of National banks tkis took off toe value of U.

THE RECOUNT CALLED OFF CfllNSES IIS UK) Viftnis Prapaialhas ta tffw lis Resells ia latter N Being StepeR The election of William Porter reoorder at the recent election hy a plurality of six votes, was s surprise to many and a great disappointment to opponent, John W. Thompson, and ills friends. Considerable excitement caused, therefore, when it was announced that Thompson had secured from Supreme Oourt Justice Tren chard - the privilege of a recount The successful candidate William Porter and friends made arrangements to fight the recount On tba election board in the First Precinct Thomas W. Millet Jr., is a member, and he is also a son of Former Mayor Thomas W. Millet who was Thompson's antagonist in the primaries. On the election board in the Scoond Precinct there is Samuel R. Stites, father- • in-law to Thompson's successful opponent in the election It is said by 1 friends of Thompson, that in both preoiucts two clerks in each were frequently at variance in their counting and for these reasons they suspect errors sufficient to change the result and secured the recount. Thompson's opponents claim, however, that the | election boards in both precincts turned over both ballot boxes and keys to Thompson. a* Oity Olerfc, after sealing toe boxes and instead of sending the Keys themselves to the County Clerk, ' requested Thompson to perform this ' duties. They claim that this gave 1 Thompson toe opportunity to open the ' boxes and tamper with the vote. Por1 ter employed Grey 'and Archer, of Oamden, and Thompson wss ropre- , sentod by Thorn** P. Curley, of Osaj den, Oity Solicitor of this city. The members of toe election board I were persuaded to go to Camden on Tuesday for an examination fay Gray and Archer. On tneir return some o<tbem visited oity ball and requested to see the ballot boxes. They were shown i them and it was noticed that the poll , book belonging in one of them, but . which had been left oat by an over- . sight when the box wss sealed, was in the box. ' It is claimed by Thompson 'a opponents that this discovery caused Thompson to call off the recount without delay, h i realization of toe seriousness of having s opened the box being impressed upon > him. i Od the other hand Thompson and bi| friends say that the affair was caMad off after consultation by Solicitor Owr ley and Lawyer Thomas French af 1 Oamden, in toe baiiaf that the grow lis. - upon which toe recount was obtained were not sufficient to secure raaalts. r Certain disputed ballots which wan 1 to have been challenged aa illegal and ' marked and toe County Board of aleo- ' tion* aaked to throw them oat, not 1 being provabiy illegal and therefore t valid in the absence of definite evidence as to their having been marked. It is all off whatever the reason and peace once more reigns in Warsaw. , MASQUERADE IT SKITIN6 RINK Delightful Eveit n Thaiksgiv- ' ing Evening 1 The carnival at Excelsior Skating s Rink Thanksgiving evening was a B very successful affair and quite a large crowd assembled and enjoyed the evening to the fullest extent.
