across the country which seems to bid the wandered turn toward the home land. Happy, then, indeed, is the one who has a. home toward which he can turn But what of the unfortunate who has no home and must rely upon the State, or the one who is barred by the State from returning to his home, how does he look upon Thanks giving?
 Perhaps nowhere in the city is the day looked forward to with more pleasure than in our institutions.
 At the county Jail the prisoners are to be given the freedom of the place. Besides this. there will be all that they can eat of very good dinner consist ing of rib roast pork and the dressings which go with it, mashed turnips, boil ed onions, mashed potatoes, bread and butter, two kinds of pie, mince and pumpkin, coffee with milk and sugar, oranges, apples and doughnuts.
 "An waiting for Thanksgiving, aren't you?' said the genial sheriff in his kindly way to a good-natured look ing darky trusty.
 'Yes, Mista vollmer, but yo' don't want to let no more in coz dey'1l eat it all up on us,'' was the laughing reply.
 At Lalzeview Home.
 The people of Lakeview Home are quite proud of the fact that all of their dinner, W1Ln the O8C0PlAOh I1O cheese, has been raised on the farm. There are not many in Bridgeport who can boast that their Thanksgiving din-a ner is entirely ''home-nade.'' Here is what they are going to have at the home: Roast 1oin pork, gravy, mashed turnips. also mashed potatoes. pick1ed beets, celery, bread and butter, pump kin pie, cheese and coffee.
 There will be no work for anyone, excepting, of course that is necessary to prepare the dinner. The men will each receive an extra. portion of to- bacco.
