Anaconda Has had q Year of
Prosperity.
HOW TO PASS THE DAY
Diversions OF All Kinds offered the Peo
pie Of This City-Church Services
The Football Game NC
the Theaters.

On this Thanksgiving day of the yeal
1898 the people Of Anaconda have a
right to render their sincere thanks &c
their Almighty God.
Never has Anaconda passed through
q year more prosperous than that which
has elapsed since the day of Thanks
giving Of the yea 1897. Prosperity has
been the lot Of all. except those whose
ill-fate decreed that they should. upon
this day. be bereft of the general and
abundant p~ienitude with which Ana
conda IL blessed. OF these unfortunates
there are few; not many are called
upon to-day to ask aught of neighbor
or kinsman or friend. Those who are
not so well supplied with turkey and
good things as their neighbors still
have to be grateful and thankful,
for the future of Anaconda promises as
well as, and better than, the
past. n no man can pre-
dict what nay fall to him tomorrow.
Therefore. let all render thanks to Him
ance, and Who, in His munificence, has
blessed Anaconda in particular.
Thanksgiving day will be appropri-
ately observed In Anaconda to-day.
There will be services in the different
churches of a character appropriate tn
the occasion. There will be a variety
of amusements. and altogether the day
will be passed as a day of rest.
To-day there will be two perform
ances at b Margaret theater by Dam
Tel Sully, at which he will present his
two great plays. "O'Brien the Con-
tractor" at the matinee. and Uncle
Bob" at the evening performance.
Hundreds and hundreds of people
will go to Butte to-day to see the big
football game between Anaconda and
Butte. A special rate of 81 for the
round trip for b game has been
made.
Then there win be sleighing. Such
grand sleighing weather as this has
not been with Anaconda for a good
many years. and the condition will be
taken advantage Of by a good many
people of Anaconda. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that every sleigh and cutter in
town will be brought into service to-
day. Yesterday everybody was hoping
n praying that II would turn just a
bit colder. so that the snow would re-
main on the ground. Last night any
danger OF the SHOWS disappearance
was dispelled by the addition Of more
Of the beautiful. However, the wealth
er may become warm before morning.
In which case Ii will probably be all
of with the sleigh rides.
Those who work in the vast institu-
tions which are this city's chief sources
OF prosperity may take advantage of
the many Of diversion offered
by the days different events, but at
the same tim there will be many who
will content themselves with remaining
beside their own hearth, eating their
turkey n their mince pie and their
plum pudding. and wishing all the
world well. happy in the love of their
W dear ones and thankful for what
the year has brought to them, and en-
joying thoroughly a day of rest.
