The Day Of THANKSGIVING.

The day was warm and pleasant
and well adopted for day of public
thanksgiving and pleasure. The peo-
pie of Norris generally observed the
day. Most of the principle business
houses closed during the forenoon for
the day and proprietors and clerks had
day of recreation and social inter-
course. The services at the c0ngrega-
tional church were we'll attended and
thoroughly enjoyed. Later came the
THANKSGIVING dinner. Quite a num-
Der of families in the village prepared
regular old fashioned New England
dinners and invited friends and rela-
tives to eat and rejoice with them.
With the younger people the lake
seemed to be the favorite place. 1t
was alive with skaters from the mid
die of the forenoon until quite late in
the evening. An ice boat made by
Messrs. Mills and Olson was in use
during the day and afforded a great
deal of amusement to quite a number.
A few farmers found their way to
town with loads of wheat but on the
whole the streets were remarkably
quiet showing that most of the farm
ers must have eaten turkey at home.
A social dance in Berkin's Hall in the
evening closed out the day.

INDIAN SCHOOLS A SUCCESS

The field planted by the Arapa-
hoe school boys is up and growing
nicely, and the boys are now busy
cultivating the growing corn. They
have full stand, and if we have
plenty of rain from this time on,
the boys effort to raise a crop will
be crowned with success. Under
the instructions Of their superinten-
dent, these school boys do all oftheir
gardening, etc, for supplying the
school, and to see how theoretically
they 90 about their work is really
astonishing. The Indians take no
little pride in having their children
in school, and had they sufficient
school facilities to accommodate all,
we believe they would not allow u
single child at school age to run at
large. The tribes as whole at
this time are not only willing to
have their children taught to speak
English, to read, write, etc, but are
eager to have them taught to abide
by the general ways Of the white
man. TO verify this statement, here
is an illustration: A teacher of the
Cheyenne school having decided
upon taking a child east with her
next vacation, sent word the other
day by another lady teacher to the
child's father to get permission to
take it, when he candidly remarked
that he was perfectly willing to
have his child go, as he thought it
very good for the children to be un-
der the influence Of the whites.
This isnot the only way in which they
express q desire to have their chill
dren walk in the right road, but
many other ways and cases could
be mentioned.
