Thanks giving Supplies and where to find

Thanksgiving supplies and where TO nno
them.
We do not think our market is so well stocked
with Thanksgiving supplies as it has been in years
gone by. This is accounted for from the fact that
the travelling from country to city is simply horr-
blc and in the article of turkeys, without which
Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving at all, the
farmers are trying to make themselves believe
that it costs more to rear and fatten the bird ethan
the pcsky things are worth" If this idea obtains
to any great extent, then good bye to the old,
primitive method Of observing this annual festival
and the chief executive may as well withhold his
proclamation. We think, however, there may be
suffciency for all desirable ends. Of meats and
other "fllings in" there is an abundance. We have
not seen for many day nicer looking lots OF
meat, especially of beef, than can be found at Dow
& S.orers, A. F. Emery's, Parker Percval at
the north end market, and at Lucius Hills, the
two latter firms also having large supplies of
groceries. Choice groceries and other needed and
scasonable articles adapted to the Thanksgiving
table, may be found at II. A. b. Chambers Err
Wills, Dunning & Lombards, Marshall Whit
heads and II. A. Hall & Co.'S.
As perhaps our readers may wish to count the
cost of their dinner before eating it, we give below
