Thanksgiving-Da in our beautiful city
was 'foot-balr' day par excellence. Men
and women, the small boy and the tiny
girl were decked in college colors, with
sympathy enlisted for Virginia or the
Old North State. Though the community
was on pleasure bent, still the sanctua-
ries for an hour or more were filled with
those ready with earnest thanks for past
blessings. one Of the most eloquent dis
courses was delivered yesterday by a
visiting clergyman. who preached at ST.
Paurs church. the Rev. DR.. Evans, OF
South Carolina.
The fashion and beauty OF the city was
gathered at Traction Field from 2:SO to
o'clock. The bleacheries. gay with orange
and Blue and White and Blue. made a.
| charming mass of color, pierced with
exultant yells and merry laughter.
Virginia had many "rooters," but they
| yielded gracefully to the victory of North
! Carolina.
