er theory is that he wished to know if the

that might render it desirable to keep the

most pleasant and enjoyable occasions ever
given by this society.
The affair reflects great credit upon the
committee of the Epworth League. which
so successfully planned and carried out the
programme
large number of friends, representing
nearly all the churches of the city, was
present at the Thanksgiving social held
at the First Baptist church, Thursday
evening. The kindergarten class and
spelling match promoted good feeling and
prepared the audience to listen to the
earnest words of Mr. Corson, who spoke
OF the Y. NJ. G. A. work. and of Mrs.
Hyman, who urged the cooperation of the
ladies of the city in the Auxiliary in
terests. A good sum Of money, from the
sale of cake and ice cream. was realized for
the Y. NJ. c. A. treasury.
The inmates of the hospital were treated
to fine dinner. Seven hundred pounds
OF turkey and 200 pounds of chicken, be-
sides the other regular Thanks giving din
ner accessories, were furnished.

given, followed by dancing and refresh
ments, closing at 10 o'clock. One of the
largest audiences was present that has
ever gathered in the amusement hall.
The Inhabitants Of the almshouse were
given royal feast. Turkeys, chickens and
"fxins" were furnished 10 great abund-
ance, and there was great rejoicing about
the hospitable board. Supt. J. II. Hsr

their efforts to make the day pleasant
one at that institution.
At the jail, the men were given pie,
something to be thankful for
The turkey shoot held at the driving

the event of the day for the local sports
men. There were three ranges; one for
rifles, 9-inch target at 200 yards; and
two for shot guns. at 65 and 100 yards. A
lot of fine birds were distributed to the win
ners. The competition was in many cases
sharp, and great sport was enjoyed.
The shows in the Opera house were
well attended, in both afternoon and even
ing.
The places where indoor exercises and
amusements were held, were crowded, and
all outdoors was crowded, and it is a
wonder where SO many people came from.
1t must be laid to the fine weather AT
any rate, there were practically none who
were stay at homes, and all have pro
claimed the day one of the most enjoyable
that ever has been known.
