giving Day.

Thanksgiving day ia going to b.
observed in this city ard section to
an unusual extent. The family par
ties are so numerous as hardly to bear
mention. Few families will dine
alone: all are either invited out or

sizes are to be very numerous.
Here is list of some of the events
of the day:

At Earlham the greatest foot ball
game of the year will take place, the
opponents of the home team being
the Wabash team, which aggregation
has always made Earlham trouble.
Their game last year was the most
exciting ever played on the Earlham
grounds. Both teams have worried
hard, and are said TO be very evenly
matched. The home boys are max.
ing all possible preparations to make
it pleasant for the spectators and hot
for their visitors. The grounds are
being put into the best possible
shape, and the bleachers repaired.
They had two hard practice games
yesterday, and will have two each
day until the contest comes off. If
Wabash beats them she will earn all
the honor she gets.
