The Republican papers must be very

their readers, have very innocent idea of

them that the people OF the south were
so well satisfied with the presidency of

Thanksgiving Day and How 1t was OBJ
sarvad

Thanksgiving day was duly observed in
Rock Island and was one of the quietest
days we have ever had, The rainy
weather of the night before. made the
streets slushy and unpleasant to travel on,
and very few buggies were out in COM
parison to last year. La the morning
there were union services at DIR. West
woods church and also at Rev. A. b.
Aliens (Trinity1 church, both of which
were we'll attended. The solemn service
of the Episcopal church was given in full
at Trinity, after which there was an able
discourse by the Rector.
In the evening there were several at
fractions presented for amusement lovers.
At Harper's Theatre, the noted elocution-
list A. P. Burbank, read some fine selec-
tons to fair audience aud was warmly
-eceived, He is favoritn in Rock Is
land, and but for the gloomy weather,
would no doubt have attracted large
audience. The weather was SO Indictment,
however, that many who intended going,
remained at home,
| At Darts Hall, the grand ball OF St
| Mary's society attracted large number
and what with the fine music, and the
excellent supper served, all present enjoyed
themselves.
On Thanksgiving eve, the Wide
Awakes gave their annual ball at Turner
Hall. 1t was largely attended, and like
all Wide Awake sociaIs, was a we'll con-
Quoted affair.
In Moline, On Thanksgiving eve, the
Iron Moulders' Union gave their annual
ball at Tinm's Hall. 1t is estimated that
at least 200 couples wero present at times
during the evening. Everything passed
off pleasantly and the affair was voted a
grand success.
The keator House invitation party was
an enjoyable one, the assembled guests
seeming to enjoy themselves in quiet and
social manner.
All in all Thanksgiving eve and day
were we'll celebrated by the people accord
ing to their tastes. The city was very
orderly and contrary to expectation only
one arrest was made-a plain drunk
