--or, rather, il was the day appointed
By the President, for thanksgiving and
prayer, on account Of the recent sub

those which were actually necessary
and stating that Divine service would be
held at the various places Of assemblsRe
for that purpose, and that all Sutler es-
Establishments would be closed from 10
o'clock, A. N. 70 ~ n. We are happy

day was delightful one, "over head

heretofore experienced in camp. All
iplaces of business in the town of Tul-
lahona were closed during tho day.
