Thanksgiving Day In Lyon County.

Thanksgiving day passed off very
quietly in this county. All the
hotel, boarding and private house.
keepers put their best foot forward

better.fed community than ours did
not exist last Thursday evening. The
traditional turkey, of prodigious size
everywhere held sway, accompanied
by it, faithful lieutenants, cranberry
sauce and chicken pie.
Mrs, James Il, Saw, Of Dayton,
gave Thanksgiving dinner to few
invited guests. Those fortunate Ia
have psr,aken of It say that it was II
feast 1T for the gods.
