THANKSGIVING A QUIET DAY.
Continued from Eighth Page)

Of their lives. The matrOns endeavOred to
make the day a day of thanksgiving and
at the same time make the children as
happy as possible To judge from the
bright faces their efforts were amply re-
warded, for a happier lot Of children it
would have been difficult to find. At the
Louisa Porter Home. the day was celebrat-
ed by an elaborate dinner made up from
the contributions of kind friends of the
institution. Although the contributions
We're not as large as usual a plenteous ar
ray OF tempting things greeted the inmates
at their Thanksgiving dinner. The follow
ing ladies' contributed towards making the
day one to be remembered. Mrs. o. Cohen
Mrs. b. Gordon, Mrs. McClOud, Mrs. du-
Blgnon, Mrs. Einstein. Mrs. Gallagher
The children of the home attended services
at the Bolton street church in the fore
noon to hear the Rev. Mr.. Bowen deliver
the THANKSGIVING sermon.
The children at the Episcopal Orphan
home were given a treat such as they VIII
not soon forget in an elaborate Thanks
giving dinner. The contributions 10 the
dinner were very small in comparison with
those Of last year, but added to the excel
lent dinner prepared by the home, made
altogether most inviting display. Mrs.
Hugh Logan contributed turkey; Mr. L.
G. Jones, a half barrel of apples; MrC. D.
Owens, ham and hushel of apples. MIR.
J. Parson ten dozen rolls and Mrs Mary
Carmichael several pounds of candy All
OF the p children at the home attended
services at Christ church.
If it had not been for the private re
sources of the Female Orphans Home,
the So happy faced children who belong to
that institution, would have missed their
thanksgiving dinner, as there was no con-
tributions Notwithstanding that fact the
children were treated to a royal supply of
good things, and a more enjoyable feast
was not spread in the city. The home is
strongly supported by the members of all
denominations, and is in a fiourishing con-
dition. Thanksgiving services at the Bull
Street Baptist church was attended by the
Female orphans in a body.
Yesterdays Thanksgiving will long be
remembered by the orphans, and the kind
friends who contributed so literally to
their enjoyment of the day Will not soon
be forgotten.
The Bethesda boys We're not forgotten.
They are always looked after on Thanks
giving day. 1t is one of the three or four
occasions in the course of the year when
they are given a taste of good things and
made to feel that there is something else
besides books and states and pencils to
live for. Chairman J. B. Fernandez and
several members of the board of stewards
eXerted themselves to provide a good din
ner FOR the boys. The boys are in good
hands for they are never forgotten. Alto
gether, with their trip to Atlanta and
Thanksgiving day they have had quite a
week OF it,
The Georgia Infrmary received from the
East Broad street school, L. c. Ross prin-
clpal, lot of blankets, sheeting, ticking
and fruit. The customary Thanksgiving
offering from the scohlars.
Even the convicts and the residents of
the county jail knew it was THANKSGIVING
The county forces had quiet easy time
new plug or some Sunday hash in celebra-
ton of the occasion. Sheriff Romans
boarderS took a day off and. did less work
than they have done before in sometime
