The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-11-30
ALLHANDSARE THANKFUL
THANKSGIVING DAY CATCHES EVERY
SOUL IN MEMPHIS.
A Quiet and Orderly Holiday, Spent in
Eating Turkey, Hunting and Resting
Some of the Inhabitants Tell Why
They Are Partic ularly Grateful.

passed out OF the living calendar OF 1888.
The proclaimed anniversary was duly
observed yesterday all over the country
and part of Memphis.
So far as the public thanksgiving was
concerned very small fractional part OF
the city's inhabitants INDUCED. 1t is
reasonable to suppose, however, that
many more returned gratitude from
around the family altar and others offered
up mute thanks. Most Of the business
houses we're closed in the afternoon, thus
ailording the army OF employees half
holiday for recreative purposes. This
boon was thoroughly appreciated, and a
very large majority of the released gentle
men hied themselves TO neighboring
woods and fields for sporting purposes.
What each and everyone feels most
kecnly thankful for would indeed be diff.
cult to learn, since most people prefer TO
keep the secret locked securely within the
recesses of their own minds; but an AP-
PEAL reporter on his rounds Yesterday
heard few expressions OF sentiment in
this line which will hardly be amiss this
morning:
