PROCLAIM ALTON,


BY Jnmcs vvhitconb. Governor Of Indiana.
The approaching close Of the year naturally
suggests to the d0vout and contemplatIve mind
ahe boundIess debt of gratitude which all owe to
Him from whom comes every good and perfect
gift.
Since the day Of our last annual thanksgiving
we have been graciously permitted to ENJOY an
unusual measure of health the earth has yielded
more than a suficicncy for our necessities and
our reasonable comforts; the hand of charity,
dened with the superhuites Of our heaven-fa-
vored land has been extended TO the teIief OIL
suffering thousands in the Old World; the pur-
suits of rivhtfully directed industry have been
bountifully rewarded; the supremacy Of the laws
has been maintained; and peace and good order
have prevailed within our borders; we have
contin ved TO enjoy the inestiInablc benefits OF
orr free ons, and the uninterrupted ex-
ercise of our civil and religious rights. Above
all, we cannot be too devouty thankful TO tho
Father Of all mercies for providing the means OF
reconciliation to his favor for Il lost and benight-
cd world, and for continuing to us in rich album
dance, the various means of grace. with which
we are blessed, for present and eternal welfare.
Actuated by these considerations and encour-
rged by the favor and regard with which former
recomme nd atoms of this kind have been receiv-
I'd, do hereby respectfully, but honestly invite
the people Of this State to set apart and observe
Thursday, the 25th day OF Nov.
next as a day of TRANSFORMER PRAYER
and PRAISE; that they abstain from their ordi-
nary secular avocations; assemble at their usual
places of religious worship; unite in expressions
Of fervent gratitude to Almighty God, for these
and the numerous other blessings which he hath
siowered upon us Individually and collectively;
supplicate Him for continuance to ourselves
and to our posterity Of these evidences of His
goodness; for that humility. meekIess and graf
itude which become the recipients of such ana
90 many unmerited favors, and to crown his gEa-
cious bOunties, by bringing to close the wars
in which country is now engaged. in an ear
", a safe and an equitable peace.
In testimony whereof, have caused the
IT, ST. seal Of the State to be hereunto affixed.
Witness my hand at Indianapolis. this 18th
day of October, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and forty-seven.

..Thc Bloodlc>s Achievement

The Wings, in the election canvass OF
1914, warned the country that the election
of James X. Polk Ind the annexation OF
Texas would produce Z war. The a0mo-
milton was UNDECIDED. and at the time the
poss bIiitv Of such an event was ridicu.ed
BY The Locofoco press. ne prediction
has been verified. and the people Of Ma
tons which ough, to be at peace. and

The Locofoco theory that there would be
no war, as tho result Of annexation, was
embraced in tho presidcn,'s mfs ge. OF
December. 1915. To show how II will
read, in these DAYS of battle and death.

The Greatest Newspaper Feat cV-
Cr performed.

The greatest feat ever performed IN
newspaper printing was that executed
upon the Ledger presses night before last,
when the two new presses. (fioos last
Fast.) were for the first timo put IN opera
lion together. Each of those presses Is
capable Of printing about l2,O0o impress
sions in an hour. but this ratio of speed IS
not always necessary when tho form goes
TO press ut tho usual hour IN the evening,
between ten and eleven o'clock. as even
the immense edition OF the Ledger can be
worked off by daylight IN tho morning at n
speed of eight or nino thousand an hour,
in limo for distribution by the carriers.
Night before last tho presses were run
together at tho rate of eight thousand each,
and sixteen thousand Impressions of tho
Ledger were printed off in n single hour
with ease This is what was never done
be fore in any newspaper office in the world,
and would scarcely be credited if It wore
not witnessed by 4 number of individuals
The work. as overy reader will see, was
done as well Is i: was duuc quick, aud tho
sheets bore a clear, clean and handsome
imnression The value Of this now inven-
ton OF Mr.. Hoe. was beautifully itlustras-
ed, and tho superiority Of tho new primer

AN IMPORTANT. CURE, BY DR.. D,
lJAYNE.S ALTERATIVE!!!

q Z
WE have. been informed by Mrs. Malian,
w "a daughter Of Gen. Wayne.)
that she suffered for number of years from
the growth ofa large Goitrous 1'umour Of the
Throat which, besides great peformity, pro.
duced both a difficulty Of fdegutition, and of
breathing. Indeed, she says, the pressure upon
the windpipe was so great as to prevent her
from sleeping in recumbent position, and OF.
ten suffocation appeared inevitable, She also
labored under severe indisposition from Liver
Complaint and Jaundice, with horrible tfair
of nervous affections. for which she commen.
ced the use of DR.. Jayne's Alternative, which
she took regularly for six or seven weeks, with
occasional doses Of his Sanatiye Pills: and her
general health was thereby completely re. es-
lablished, and now perceiving some diminu-
ton in the size of the Goitrous Tumour, she
was encouraged to persevere in the use of the
Alternative until every vestige Of the painful
tumonr was entirely removed. We think.
therefor e, that such an important remedy
should be more generally known.
