A DAY OF THANKSGIVING
THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY
AHHEVILLK.
The Day tteautlful bat Coltl The
Kxerclftes bv (he Children or the
Cltv Schools At the Churches
and the V. m. C. A.
Asbeville's. Thanksgiving Day was a
sunny but cold, very cold, on. Wednes
day evening shut down freezing cold,
with a biting wind blowing, that fclt de
cidedly blizzardish. People who were so
unlucky as to be abroad scudded along be
fore the wind or staggered as they slowly
made their way in the teeth of the blast.
There were comparatively few people o i
the streets. The wcioerwurst man did a
rushing business, while the dime museum
man picked up an occasional ten-cent
piece. Those places of business thut
were heated were the most popular in
town, and the star gazer.outafler comet
news, did his work as quickly us possible
and hustled back to his warm room.
In the midst of these conditions Ashe
ville went to lied early and slept Ia.'c
Thursday morning. Thebusincss houses,
recognizing the fact that there would
not be much stiring early, were in uo
hurry to open. The majority of them,
however, did so, after awhile. When
Tub Citizkn yisited the drug store of T.
C. Smith & Co., on the square, at 8:05
o'clock the thermometer in the front
door showed the mercury marking 123, a
figure very much lower than yet reached
here this fall. The mercury at Grant's
pharmacy, South Main, on the eastern
end of the building, in reach of the rays
of the sun marked 20 at the same hour.
Many stopped to look at the meicury,
and seeing the figure hurried on with u
"I'.g-h," buttoning their overcoats
tighter about them.
Some of the young men who were for
tunate enough to get a holiday went
hunting and were half frozen for their
pains. But the contractors on the city
paving, determined to make bay while
the sun shone, fired up their pitch tanks
and to the monotonous tunes of the col
ored men at work, bricks were laid and
tar spread just as if Thanksgiving day
with its attendant turkey and cranberry
sauce stood six months in the fore
ground. On South Main Webb, Dates,
Eskridge & Co. completed the paving
on the west side to the Swnnnnnoa ho
tel, an event which should have been
celebrated by a torchlight procession and
bonfire. The city force on Mcrrimon
avenue began laying the first course of
the brick paving, working between the
bridge and North Main.
How Ibe Children Hpenl It.
The big, pretty auditorium of the First
Baptist church never had a brighter,
happier gathering than it did yesterday
at 10 o'clock, when the children of the
city schools held their Thanksgiving ser
vice there.
The beginning of the service had been
set for 9:45, but some of the youngsters
were late, and it was so much after that
time when the service opened that it had
to be abbreviated to prevent; trespass
upon the time for the joint Thunksgiving
service of the First and French liroad
Baptist congregations.
The little folks began arriving snon al
ter 9 o clock singly, doubly, and in
groups and classes small fellows hold
ing to their larger brother's hand, und
older ones who marched iu with all the
air of a grown-up person, with a look on
their faces that plainly showed tlieir ap
preciation of the day and its manner of
observance. There were the bovs and
girls in overcoats and furs, and there
were some that had neither of these arti
clesbut there thev sat, on seats side by
side, nil differences forgotten in the exhil
aration of this holiday.
As far as possible the children of the
different schools and grades wercgrouped
together, and they filled a large part of
the auditorium. The bright sunlight
outdoors found entrance through the
great windows of stained glass, nnd
threw a soft light over the scene ol ani
mation in the interior. It was a sight
seldom seen in Aseville, and one never to
be forgotten bv the lOOorKOO children,
the parents of many of them and the
visitors present.
The pulpit ot the cnurcli was proiuseiy
decorated with evergreens. Besides Su
perintendent 1. I". Claxton, of the city
schools, there were on the platform Key.
Chas. W. Bvrd of Central M. li. church,
South; Kev. W. P. Southern, of the West
bnd Baptist mission; Mi9s Maude row-
ell, teacher of music in the schools ( who
ltd the singing of the day) and J. II.
1 ucker, esq. 1 lie service wus opened by
the singing of "Praise God From Whom
All Blessings How by all present, fol
lowed by a scriptural reading by J. II.
Tucker. Rev. W. P. Southern offered
prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer,
the children sang "My Country, 'Tis ot
Thee" nnd they sang it in a stirring
wav. It was sung with more vim
and volume than any of the others, this
beinz accounted for by the tact that this
song has been sung in the schools for
a long time, while nearly nllof the others
were comparatively new.
Following this was the song "Heap
High the Wintry Hoard." Superintendent
Claxton then announced that a very se
vere hoarseness prevented Kev. Lhas. W.
Bvrd from delivering the address as
fixed upon in the program. So the Su
perintendent himself addressed the chil
dren in a ten or fifteen minute talk that
was an admirable one in every way. He
recited the many things the people had
to be thankful for lile.tbe beautiful sun
shine, a grand country, and especially to
be thankful tor was the spirit that
prompted the people of Asheville to
build new schools, greatly enlarging the
facilities for the accommodation of
children who should be and wished to be
in school. Asheville had done more in
this way during the past year, Mr. Clax
ton said, than any city in North Caro
lina. He also referred in a congratula
tory style to the increase of the Kinder
garten work here since the city schools
naa maac mcir coniriouuon two years
ago. Tlien, be said, there were fortv
children in the Kindergarten. Now there
are nearly 2UU in the schools, with nine
teachers. The address all through was
easily understood by the children as well
as the older ones.
When the Superintendent had con
cluded "Reward of Labor" was sung,
after which the fourth grade of the Bailey
street school, under the leadership of
their principal, Mrs. Fannie Featherston,
sang the "thanksgiving Song," while a
collection for the Asheville Free Kinder
garten was raised, amounting to $17.37.
The last song on the program, "Fill
the Baskets,'! was sung by the entire as
semblage, when Mr, Claxton announced
that be had just been shown a note from
one of the school children to her teacher
offering an excuse for her absence. The
note was from Laura Sorrels, 325 Bailey
stree-, and was aldressed to "Mrs.
Featherston, my dear teacher," and
said :
"I am so sorry that I cannot come to
day I would like tc come so well, but
my brother is sick. If I don't come I will
try to make somebody happy. I hope
you will all have a nice Thanksgiv
ing. . . ."
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mr. Southern, and all were dismiss
ed, the children showing by the spark
ling eye and glowing cheek their enjoy
ment of the exercises of the holi-lay pro
vided for them. The service was no less
interesting to the older ones present, and
altogether it is certain that the day will
live long in the memory of all who at
tended. The Colored School children.
The children of the Catholic Hill col
ored school held a special service at Zion
church from 9:30 to 10:30. There were
-tOO children present, and all took a
lively interest in the rendering of the
specially prepared program .of songs.
Addresses appropriate to the occasion
were delivered by Ivd. S. Stephens, prin
cipal, nnd Revs. C. B. Dusenbury, R. R.
Kumlcy and I. b. Morrow. A number ot
visitors attended the services, which were
very interesting.
At Hie Churches.
The several congregations of the M. K.
church, South, of the city, held service
with the congregation of Central church.
The services were conducted bv Fitch
Taylor, H. A. Gudger and Prof. P. P.
Claxton. A collection of about $25
was raised for the Oxford orphan
asylum.
Rev. J. (J. Adams preached at the First
Baptist church, the congregation of the
French Iirond church ulso worshipping
there. The collection wasfortheThomas
ville orphanage and amounted to $17.09.
Trinity episcopal church observed the
day with the regular Thanksgiving ser
vice, followed by the hoi v communion.
The offering was for the Thompson or
phanage at Charlotte and amounted to
$48, The offerings of fruits, etc., which
were very large, were sent to the Mis
sion hospital.
At Ibe V. M. C. A.
Thanksgiving w.is observed at the
Young Men's Christian association in an
old fashioned way which was thoroughly
enjoyable. Social intercourseand games
were indulged in till 9:15, when all ad
journed to the lunch room where deli
cious coffee, gingei bread, popcorn and
apples were served. The evening exer
cises were closed with a Thanksgiving
testimony meeting, conducted by the
General Secretary. II. B. Mays.
A census of the birth States ol those
present was taken, which resulted as
follows: South Carolina, 2; Virginia, 5;
North Carolina, 24; Maryland, 4; Texas,
1; Wisconsin, 2; New York, 3; Ohio, 3;
Indiana, 1; Michigan, 1; Georgia, 1.
A Dinner at the Jail.
The organized efforts df a number of
charitable persons did much to brighten
the day for the prisoners in the county
jail. A bountiful turkey dinner with
Thanksgiving embellishments was served
to the inmates of the prison ut noon.
There was plenty for all and much left
over till today.
