FOR

Between 2,500 and 3,500 Turkeys Were Sold in Richmond and Probably $10,000 Was Spent on Food.

PROSPERITY WAS IN GENERAL EVIDENCE Large Number of People Left City to Spend Holiday A Large Number Came Here for Feasts. The Thanksgiving celebration here was perhaps filled with more ' good cbeer than any held In several years and seemed to have been thoroughly enjoyed both by rich and poor. Gen trail? the celebration was as customary. The services In the various churches In the morning, and the evangelistic services at East Main 8treet Friend's church In the evening were the religious features of the occasion. Manifestations of prosperity were particularly In evidence at the church services. Large and well dressed crowds attended. In a few- of the churches, the services vied with those of .Christmas and Easter from the st and Joint of interest and splendor.. Tradesmen declare that more money was spent in Richmond the week before Thanksgiving than in several years. It was estimated by a well known dealer that no less than 2,500 turkeys were sold and he thought that the total number might reach 3,5(50. Other food stuffs were sold in large quantities. It is estimated that no less than $10,000 was spent in the city for the Thanksgiving dinners. Travel Quite Heavy.;: There were many who entertained out of town guests while a, large number of local people visited with friends and relatives In the country and near by towns. The interurban and steam transportation companies experienced their usual large holiday business on Wednesday evening and Thanksgiving morning. Special rates were offered in some cases which made the travel more attractive, it being possible to purchase round trip tickets good for several days. From an amusement viewpoint, the day was unsurpassed. Undoubtedly there were a thousand hunters in the fields, six hundred of women were licensed and well protected, the others taking the risk of being caught violating the game laws. Several very good catches were reported. The play houses In Richmond were open, also the coliseum and all enjoyed good patronage. While the charitable work carried on was probably more extensive than la previous years. It was' not because there was more want or suffering, but largely because the movement for conducting this work was better organised than heretofore. -The. distribution was large and choioe. It was almost entirely In the hands of the Penny clnb, although other organizations as sisted those whom tney Knew to ne destitute. Nesrly all suffering from want which now exists In the city is due to either Infirmities or the head of the families being sick. The cemetery associations of -Centervllle. Hagerstown, Milton and Wil liamsburg, gave turkey dinners.as has been the custom for several years. In order to raise funds. Each of these dinners was largely attended. The fi nancial success of each was up to anti cipations. Particular effort was made by those In charge of the different Institutions ' In the county that the Inmates might enjoy the day. In nearly all cases in mates were accorded more freedom and provided with choice turkey din ners. r.ins.

HOLY SPIRIT IS ; RICHMOND NEED Christians of City Should Organize into an Active ; Working Force, v . Program for the Week. 7:30 p. m., dally except Saturday, services at East Main Street Friends' church. 8:00 p. m., Saturday, three open air' meetings on Main street. 2:30 p. m., Sunday, union services at East Main Street church. 7:30 p. m., Sunday, closing service of the union effort." " y - There Is need in Richmond for- the coming of the Holy Spirit. This is the-declaration ot Evangelist Many, who spoke Thursday evening at East Main Street "Friends church on this subject. To the mind of the evangelist the climax of the gospel was not the resurrection of Christ, as might be popularly supposes, hut it was the coming of the Holy Spirit This is the 1 spirit that Js necessary to ' carry on the work of the Lord. This is the power for action and It is the power that opens up frozen human hearts. The evangelist referred to that style of Christian that spends his time in the mere centemplatlon of the cross. The. cross Is good to. look upon but Christ would have us look beyond the cross into the sin-ridden world, which is in need of the action and power that follows receiving the Holy Spirit. The mere contemplation of the cross Is a sickly sentimentality that work's little good to, the one engaged in.it and none to the. world at large. The religion that makes its end and aim the mere contemplation of spiritual thlnzs la a - failure.. Whenever - the individual gets into the position ''that he merly contemplates spiritual things he loses his power. . The religion of Christ calls out every power that we possess and Christ pronounced - a blessing on the man who heareth and doetb. . Many, in the Christian life are afraid of failure . but the evangelist declared that when . you . are serving God and relying on the Holy Spirit there can be no such thing as failure i 'I : Wipe Out Man-Traps." '" " Mr. Mahy. regards the devil as a definite personality,-as he made plain In a - previous sermon, and so he believes the .Holy- Spirit' has a' distinct and definite personality. He declared that those who have not the ' Holy Spirit have covered 'their soul with some sort of black cloth and he raised the question as to what this cloth may be. . - . -. . There is need of the Holy. Spirit in Richmond, the evangelist declared, not only to make the Christian people an active working force, but also to wipe out the hell holes, the man-traps and the boy-traps that exist here." The coming of the Holy Spirit would result In a community that would be engag ed in serving Pod instead of serving the devil. . As the union effort Is nearing a close a special effort is being made to accomplish as much as possible in the time that remains.' A special Invita tion is extended the young people to attend this evening and ' the service will be-made of special interest to them. Volunteer workers are wanted among the men t o aid in the open air meetings of Saturday night.

DELINQUENT LIST BEIIIGPREPARED Two Members of the Municipal Research Bureau Begin Big Task Today.

No authority being vested in the county treasurer to publish a list of the tax payers who are delinquent in their personal tax assessment, the bureau of Municipal Research has taken up the cudgel and Is now going over the tax records of 1908 and making a list of each delinquent and the amount of the delinquency. The bureau probably will -publish the list during the winter if this is found advisable. Timothy Nicholson and Prof. N. C. Helronimus of. the bureau were at work' Friday compiling a list of the delinquents. There are so many and the amounts so large that it will re quire many, days work, it Isjtbought. I . . . . m . . : T ine ourean is interested in tne tax question, it being felt by the members that Wayne county is not realizing as much as it should, a condition which makes the tax rates higher. i Wherever an owner of real ' estate allows the taxes on it to become delinquent the fact is announced in the newspapers. - After a certain time, If the taxes have not been paid, the sheriff sells the property for an amount at least equal to the amount of the tax lien against it. The county treasurer is empowered to sell personal property on which taxes are 'delinquent, but as it has never been . customary here or anywhere else in the state, no county official has ever attempted this as a means of adjudicating the tax lien on personal property delinquents.
