With BOuntiful Dinners

The observance Thursday of Thanksgiv-
ing day was characterized as it always
is, with feasting, happiness and good
cheer and in many Augusta households
the day was made more happy by the
Homecoming of the absent ones from
school, college and elsewhere. Thanksgiv-
ing is one of the two days of the year
when the impulse is strong in the hearts
of all to seek the old home once more
and to, draw round the festive board for
the enjoyment of the traditional feast,
the happy memories of which time can
never efface, and which each succeeding
year seem to grow stronger.
But the happiness of the day was not
confined to the home circles Of the city
for it was carried into places where such
feeling is not supposed to exist, and in
the public institutions of the State and
of the city the coming of the day brought
with it a feeling of good cheer that was
almost unexpected, among the places be-
ing as follows:
