THANKSGIVING DAY.
BY the Governor-A Proclamation.

Another year speeds into the eternal past.
It has been to Montana one of prosperity.
Toll has had recompense, and plenty fills
the land. Neither pestilence, nor want, nor
calamity have Swallowed our hearts, and al
though dangers menaced and the evil day
seemed nigh when our valleys would be the
scene of desolation, the Father, who doeth
all things well, wonderfully protected our
our homes and people, and gave our enemies
unto destruction. 1t is eminently fitting
that we who remain the living witnesses of
Gods goodness to us as Il people should
again assemble, give thanks to the Great
Ruler who has so sheltered us, and invoke
His continued care and guidance. In con-
formity to the day designated by the Presi-
dent of the United States, | do therefore
recommend that Thursday, the 29th day of
November, 1877, be observed by the people
Of Montana as a day of thanksgiving, prayer
and rest, and that, putting aside their bust
ness labors and pursuits, they assemble in
their respective places OF worship and make
grateful acknowledgment to Almighty God.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the Great Seal Of the
Territory to he affixed.
Done at Helena, the Capital. this sixth
day OF November, in the Year of
our Lord one thousand, eight hun-
