PINE BLUFF HUGELY ENJOYS TURKEY DAY Thanksgiving Is Duly Cele- brated With No Marring
 Features.
FEASTED ON TURKEY
Poor Families Are Heartily Remem- bered by Those More Fortunate
 Prisoners Enjoy Repast.

Although the skies were overcast with clouds and there was gloom on the outside, Pine Bluff mentally and physically, was in fine fettle yester- day, and to appearances it was as fine Thanksgiving Day as has ever been celebrated. Every home had a special spread and turkey, the piece de resistance of such an occasion, and other viands were amply provided.
 This applied to homes of those in the goods things, and those homes where the necessary food supply was furnished through the agency of the Associated Charities and those who saw to it that nothing was lacking From the supply of good things which had been received none who were needful of supplies wtre over looked. There was list kept of those who needed supplies and to be certain that they would receive them on time the supplies were sent out Wednesday.
 Among some of the organizations it was a festive day. The Eagles had big spread last night, follow ing a business session, the Mystic Shriners had a banquet preceding the ball; those who repaired to the Catholic bazaar, being conducted at Second avenue and Pine street, were assured of a bountiful repast, and last night both at the Hotel Jefferson and Hotel Pines the guests were given meals which made them wish that every day was Thanksgiving.
 Prisons Made Happy.
 Those who were unfortunate enough to be behind the bars of the county jail and the police station, had as much of a good time as was consistent with such places. Before them was placed hearty feast and while there was undoubtedly a desire to get out into the big, outside world, the prisoners were greatly pleased over the repast served them. The thanks for this is due Sheriff Brews- ter and Chief of Police J. Frank Stewart.
 The meels served were just as good as those which are enjoyed by those who are free to go when and where they will and the only diff ference was that the rest of Pine Bluff enjoyed Thanksgiving outside the bars, while some had to enjoy it be- hind them.
 Offices are Closed.
 As is usually the custom, there was in many instances closing of busi- ness houses, and all the public of fees were closed. There was no business transacted at the court house, the banks, Chamber of Com merce or freight offices and there was not an air of business around the offices of the magistrates after the morning hours had waned Necessarily the police station was open, undertakers or assistants had to remain on duty. Even those who were compelled to remain on duty a portion of the day were able to have chance at enjoying Thanksgiving
 To the employees of many offices and stores, who work steadily each day of the week with the exception o1 Sunday, it was boom to be relieved of duties and to get out for day of enjoyment. Many went to the foot ball game, some took in the vaude- vile and picture shows in the after noon, and many availed themselves oi I this opportunity at nighttime. On the other hand, there were man! who wished to get away from the city on Thanksgiving, and having holi- day before them, picked up the gun and sack and went hunting. There i is possibly more game killed or ! Thanksgiving and about the Christ mas holiday time than any other twt seasons of the year.
