charge OF his execution tndt more
horrible means of death could not
be meted out.
And then came the bic oyster
supper, with all the usual Thanks
giving trimmings, at which over
seven hundred were served, and
again the ladies did themselves
proud and served meal that
again was the comment of all.
After supper the recreation ROOM
in the Masonic Temple and the
smoking room in the Court house
were opened up again, and those
who wished repaired to the opera
house where the big free dance
was started. The FIVE piece Phil,
ip orchestra furnished the music
for this secession and they were
complimented many times on the
fine selections rendered.
At midnight a lunch was again
served and about a hundred par
took of this, and then the dance
was resumed and lasted until
two-thirty in the morning. When
the orchestra played the closing
selection and the days doin9s
came to an end there was not a
one but felt that they had been
more than repaid for coming to
Kadoka to spend the day in cele-
bratin9 the great Victory Won by
our army, the return to Peace,
and in giving honorS to the sol
der boys of Jackson County, who
had offered their lives if neces-
sary to make possible just such a
celebration as they had been en-
joyine.
Taken all in all the day was the
most successful occasion that Ka-
doka has ever attempted, and the
committee in charge consisting
of c. n. Leedom, M. X. EaSthouSe
and K. n. Rounds, together with
their various helpers, can well
feel proud of the success of the
day. To the ladies who had
charge of the meals served there
is no way in which to express the
compliments due them for the
capable manner in w h i c h
they handled the preparation and
serving of the meals. The COM
mittee consisted OF Mrs. G.. H..
Decker, Mrs. J. A. Hughes, Mrs.
Thos. Brake and Mrs. F. H. kell-
inc and the numerous other la
dies that assisted them is impos.
slble for US to mention them all
personally, but to them all is Civ
en- every compliment and appre-
citation for their able and efficient
work. When it is realized that
over fifteen hundred meals were
served by the ladies on Thanks
giving day the magnitude of the
undertaking can we'll be appreCi-
ated, and it is the wonder of ev-
eryone at the efficient way they
saw to 1t that every one was fed
and given a plenty of the good
things prepared.
Thanksgiving day of 1918 will
long be remembered by everyone
who was in Kadoka as one of the
most pleasant days they ever
spent, coming as it did at a time
when every heart was given the
spirit of THANKSGIVING to the Di-
vine Creator for all of the many
blessings visited upon us during
the year, and when a tribute to
our soldier boys was paid by ev-
eryone who attended.

enjoying a visit from the latter's
parents who arrived last week

( DR.. w. M. Mcdonald, writes us
that he will be in Kadoka on Dec

to do all kinds of dental work.
The DR.. has been compelled to
