IDAY OF THANKSGIVING.
Proclamation by the President-The 3Oth
Day of November Appointed.
BIZ the President OF the United States !:

BIZ the President OF the United States !:
PROCLAMATION.
From year to year we have been &C.
customed 10 pause in our daily pursuits
and set apart time to offer our thanks
TO Almighty God for the special bless
inQs He has vouchsafed to us, with our
prayers for continuance thereof. We
have at this time equal reason to be
thankful for His continued protection,
and for the many material blessings His
bounty has bestowed. In addition to
these favors accorded to us as individu-
ais, we have especial occasion to express
our hearty thanks to Almighty God that
by His providence and guidance our
government, established a century ago,
has been enabled to fulfill the purpose
of its founders in Offering an asylum to
the people of every race, securing civil
and religious liberty to all within its
borders, and melting ont to every indi-
vidual alike, justice and equity before
the law. It is, moreover, especially our
duty to offer our humble prayers to the
Father of all mercies for a continuance
of His divine favor to us as nation and
as individuals.
By reason of all these considerations,
1, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend to the
people of the United States to devote
the thirtieth day of November next to
the expressions of their thanks and
prayers to Almighty God, and laying
aside their daily avocations and all secu.
lar occupations to assemble in their re.
spective places of worship and observe
such day as day of thanksgiving and
rest.
In witness whereof I have hereuntC
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington thi
twenty-sixth day of October. in the yea
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-six, and of the independ
ence of the United States of America
the one hundred and first.

The season for coughs and colds is
rapidly approaching, and every one should be
prepared to check the first symptoms, as a

For all diseases of the throat and lungs it
should be used internally and externally.

Washing day will insist upon making
its unwelcome appearance once week.
The linen for Mondays wash should be
collected on Saturday night, sorted and
put to soak in cold water, according to
the various kinds. The body linen
should be put into one tub. the bed and
table linen into another, and the fine
things separately. Plain collars, cuffs
and wristbands should be strung through
the buttonholes on a piece of bobbin
long enough for the articles to be easily
divided for rubbing, starching, etc.
Colored muslins, prints and fannels
must be laid aside to be washed in diff
ferent manner from the white calico or
linen. Properly boiled suds are far
better than soap for washing, particu-
larry if a washing machine be employed.
The suds should be prepared in the fol-
lowing manner Shred into an earthen-
ware jar the best yellow soap cut into
very fine shavings, and pour boiling
water to the quantity required. One
pound of soap is plenty for gallon Of
water. Add to this quantity half q
pound of the best Scotch soda, and sci
the jar (covered) on stove or at the
back of the kitchen range till the soar
s quite dissolved. Ii this be done on

An Aati Newspaper Population.

/ Newspapers are not favored by
Mississippi sentiment. The Lcgis
| Iatu Q refuse. to allow living r.tes
| for legal advertising. Oranges and
most other societies loo often in
sist that their notices be published
FREQ; business men advertise spar
ingly, and many heads of families
think it letter to deny to their
children the advantages of good
newspaper, rather than pay the sub
scription price of two or three dol
lars per annuna; and when they do
invest in this line, they often give
the go-by to their county papers
and subscribe for a Memphis, or
Louisville, or New York week. y.
Under these adverse influences, it is
not surprising that the Mississippi
press is not particularly enterpris
ing or progressive. Publishers nrc
forced to sustain themselves, by re-
ducIng expenses to the lowest pos
sible minimum, we'll knowing that
no effort Of theirs to give interest
and value to their pages will be ap-
preciated or recognized. This is
an unwise policy.

increaseth; and there is that with

YAzoo CITY, MISS, April 1916.
Owing to his absence from the
state, Hon. II. d. Money, President
of the Mississippi Press Association,
has requested me, as first vice. Pres
ident of said Association, to pro-
coed to do all and singular the
things which he would have tn per-
form were he in Mississippi, in fur
thcrance of the interests of that
body.
Pursuant to that request I hereby
make it known that the Mississippi
Press Association will hold its an
Convention for tho year 1876 at
Holly Springs, commencing on the
first Wednesday in June. A full at
tendance Of the mombers is particu-
larIy desired, as the meeting will be
an interesting and important one.
The annual Grafton will be deliver
ed by the able aud scholarly Major
w. q. Capers; The annual essay
will be read by Major f. G.. Wall,
of the Farmers indicator, and the
annual poem by Capt. C.E. Merrill,
of the Greenwood Valley Sentinel.
At the last Convention Mrs. Annie
I. Clark, of Kosciusko, and Miss
- Bowling, Of Raymond, were
requested to write poems to be read
at the Convention of 1876. All the
appointees will doubtless be pres
ent and discharge the duties assign
ed them. J. Il. McCULLUM,

Monroe and Harrison did not
graduate. Monroe left college to
join the Revolutionary army. FL
nancial reverses deprived Harrison
of full course. Polk was the old
est when graduating, being twenty
hrec Tyler the younges', seven
teen. Tho majority graduated at
twenty, this being also the average
age. Jefferson probably had the
most liberal education and the
broadcast culture. 1t is said that his
range of knowledge would compare
favOrably with that of Burke. The
drills at West Point may be consid-
cred equal to college course, and
in many respects superior. In dis
cipline and mathematical training it
10 not equalled by any American
college. Counting General Grant,
two-thirds Of our Presidents have
been college men. tn be sure the
two whose names have become
words, Washington, the
Father, and Lincoln, the Martyr,
were not literally educated but
theirs were special missions. They
live in the affections of the nation
rather than in the intellect, as en-
bodied in the Constitution and law.
Theirs was to execute, not to mould.

late hour, last Wednesday night
by burglars, who succeeded in get
ting away with goods to the amount
of eighty or an hundred dollars.
Two of the young men connected
with the store, and who slept in q
room on the second floor wore
awakened by noise and descend
ed to the store to learn tho cause.
They saw a number of rats in the
grocery department and concluding
that they had made the fuss, return
ed to their beds little dreaming that
thieves were really in the store
Next morning it was discovered
that quite . number of goods were

was effected also discov-

thieves or their booty.
