Business depression, unfavorable elec.
tions of the year and all other Adverses
will certainly be overlooked tomorrow,
judging from the elaborate preparations
that are being made to-day TO celebrate
Thanksgiving Day. King street, the center
or feast day business, was crowded with
an innumerable throng OF iostling
mortals all day aud there was a study for
idlers Ia the many different faces,
baskets and pocket books.
While every Wilmingtonian has his or
her idea and diversion, on one matter
every one is RgIeed-the necessity Of
having turkey as the principal dish
on the dinner-table. One other
buoyant prospect for the holiday Is that
the day will be clear and fair, according
to the weather Indications, and Just cold
enough TO be Il reminder that this Is the
verge Of Winter.
