The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-11-28
Society i. ."

AS expected, the week has been full of
excitement of many kinds
Football games, germans, banquets, biz
dinners, turkey, dyspepsia and insomnia
follow ed each other with breath taking
raplditv. There has even been one case
OF toothache and one IF neart failure.
After our period Of quiet, peaceful liv.
ing. our Regular meal-taking and sleep
indnlSnI days and evenings, this burst
has left us pretty bad shape but who
will say that they do not wish that every
day was Thanksgiving and every other
day Sunday? This must not be taken,
however, as registering protest at our
activity. The football people are the
only ones who are kicking. Our great
ness was thrust upon us aud we merely
enlarged our capacity. We can do it
again.
