vinced. ...
Talking about Thanksgiving hosts,
Mr.. R. N. Travis, of 40 East Third,
surpassed them all. In his upstairs
cafe he had as his guests during the
afternoon and evening last Thursday,
between 800 and 400 persons to par
take OF his hospitality. The menu
comprised oyster soup, combination
salad, roast turkey, cranberry sauce,
mashed potatoes, bread, butter, coffee,

large turkeys were served.

Miss Hattie Hobbs who was laid up
with sickness for six weeks is again
attending to her duties at Field &
Schlick's. She desires to tender
thanks to the many friends who re-
membered her during her illness, es-
pecially the members of Pilgrim Bap-
fist church and the Pastors Aid So
ciety of Memorial Baptist church.
She is planning to have one of her
personal rallies for Girls
pus Attacks Home and as she always
succeeds in her financial transactions,
it is certain that she will give a good
account of herself this time. Every
body solicited should help her.
The great Peace Thanksgiving pa
rade on Thanksgiving Day was the
grandest ever witnessed in St. Paul.
There were fully 10000 persons in the
parade representing every nationality,
race variety, and creed of our cosmo-
polltan population and was very
pleasing demonstration of democracy.
The colored peoples part was very
satisfactory in every way" and the ap-
pearance of the Home Guard, the Red
Cross and the Sixteenth Battalion
Band of 40 pieces in the second divi-
sion was quite a notable feature of the
parade and was warmly greeted with
applause by the $4,000 people that
witnessed the monster parade.
Again THE APPEAL man is glad
to tender thanks toSRev. Daniel Hard
ing, of Lake City, Mimi, for remem-
bering him by sending a fine young
ten pound national bird for his
thanksgiving dinner. This is the
third time that Rev. Harding has re.
membered Mr.. and Mrs. J. O. Adams
and family in the same way and they
are all more than ever thankful for
his kindly remembrance. Evidently
Rev. Harding is believer in the ad-
age: "One good turn deserves an
other; and as, "The Lord loveth
cheerful giver"; it is the hope of the
Adams family that he will find it.
More blessed to give than to receive,''
at any rate that is the sincere wish
Of the Adams family.
The joint Thanksgiving service of
the churches at Memorial Baptist
church, Thursday morning, attracted
a large audience that was amply re-
for it's presence by the ex-
celient sermon preached by Rev. J. C.
Anderson of st. James A. M. r.
Church. The music was furnished by
choir made up from members of the
several church choirs. Rev. T. ]. Carr,
pastor of Memorial, read the scrip
tur lesson and introduced Rev. Ander-
son. Prayers were offered by Rev.
W. F. T. Chandler and Deacon J. H.
Hickman. The usual THANKSGIVING
collection for Crispus Attacks Home
was raised amounting to s76.O6. Al
dinner was served in
the church parlors after the service.

the occasion.

o'clock dinner that was given Wednes-
day by Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Co1fsby,
