THIS IS TURKEY OAY' And Our People Are Observing IL in
 the Proper Style.

Pine Bluff today joins with her sister cities over which floats the stars and stripes in honoring the nations holiday.
 Beautiful Thanksgiving services were held at the First Methodist and Episcopal churches this morn ing. At the former Dr. John L. Caldwell, pastor of the First Pres byteSian Church, delivered an az propr:ate and interesting sermon to a large gathering Of church people. Union services were held at this church and members of other churches attended.
 Dr W D. Buckner conducted services at the Trinity Church The services there are always beat tifal and impressive and largely at tended This church building was kept open al morning, the Daugt- ters of the King receiving Donations and distributing them among the poor.
 Thanksgiving D4y turns the tide of human ambitions and human hopes. To the worldly it savers of turkey and cranberry sauce, plum pudding and numberless other dainties to gratify the palate. The thought is not to be criticised. God is the best of masters. He encour- ages legitimate and temperate qualification of the human heart aud palate, only asking in return that which is His: "To Caesar the things that are Cassar's, to God the things that are Gods.
 It is customary a. the county jail each Tbansgiving to provide the prisoners with a substantial feast of turkey and other delicacies, not part of the regular prison menu, but today, for some unknown req son, this provision was not made. Our people should have been notified and the prisoners would have doubtless enjoyed rich gastro uom- ical feast.
 The children of the public schools, bless their little hearts, distributed four wagon loads of provisions, clothing and wood.
 All the banks, the courts, the pos toffice and many of the business houses are not open for business to- day, so everybody has chance tc enjoy Thanksgiving as it should be.
 Thanksgiving races at the park and the Jewish baby show at the Bluff City Club are two of the lead ing attractions for this afCernoon.
 The curtain cf night will fall on a scene of substantial enjoyment al every freside The closing hours ol the national feast day will be marked by pleasuIable events galore and th' Thanksgiving of 1900 will be a. memorable as those that have mad up the history of past Thanksgiving festivals now part o. the nation history.
