STATE OF ILLINOIS,

/, Shelby NJ. Cullom, governor OF the
state Of Illinois, do appoint Thursday,
the 29th day Of November, as a day OF
Thanksgiving. This purely national ies-
tiyal, which originated with the Pilgrim
Fathers, is entitled to the respect and OBJ
servance Of all good citizens, as 4 recogni-
ton Of the experimenting providence OF
Almighty God, and an expression OF our
thankfulness to HIM for His bountiiul
goodness to us as people.
Not in a spirit Of boasting, nor with~
out deep sense of sympathy for the ma
tions so severely afflicted, it may increase
our gratitude to remember the condi-
ton OF India, stricken with famine, OF
Russia and Turkey, devastated by war,
and OF France, torn with fierce internal
dIssentions. From these evils We have
been delivered; while our civil and reli'
gious privileges, the general good health
Of tho people, our magnificent crops,
and the consequent improved condition
Of all business interests, afford us album
dant occasion for positive rejoicing.
|, therefore, call upon the citizens OF IL
linois to assemble in their places OF reli.
gious worship, and around their tables
and firesides, to make This a holiday, o
day of rest and OF iestivity, not forgetting
Is proper religious observance, but above
all, a day tor the re-assembling OF scat
tered kindred, in order to the closet knit
ting OF those domestic ties whichare the
pledge and ground ofnational union and
prosperity.
In testimony whereof, ] have hereinto
