We think it due to say that our good
Governors proclamation for Thanksgiving
was wrought both verbally and typograph-
ically in excellent taste, and yet we think
the people would not complain if our Gov
ernor did not invariably give us sheet ex-
actly the dimensions of the state. If we
were allowed to judge we should say that
twenty parts of paper to one of proclama-
ton was little presumlng-rather more
jug than molasses.
Never was Thanksgiving hailed with
more JOY than this year. Peace, plenty
and health abound to remarkable degree.
