The following proclamation has been
issued by the President:
At the recurrence of tho season which
the devout habits Of religious people
have made the occasion of giving thanks
to Almighty God, and humbly invoking
his continued favor for the material
prosperity enjoyed by our whole count
~, but more conspicuous, more mani
fest or more universal during the past
year; also unbroken peace with all for
eign nations, the general prevalence OF
domestic tranquility, the supremacy and
security of the great institutions OF civil
and religious freedom, have gladdened
the hearts OF our people, and confirmed
their attachment to their government,
which the wisdom and courage of our
ancestors so fifty framed, and the wisdom
and courage of their descendants have so
firmly maintained to be the habltation
of liberty and justice to successive gener-
atoms.
Now therefore, 7, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President of the United States,> do ap-
point Thursday the 9th day of Novem-
Der inste as day of National thanksgiv-
ing and prayer and I earnestly recomend

secular cares and labors, and that the
people of the United States do meet to-
gether on that day in their respective
places of worship, there to give thanks
and praise to Almighty God for his mer-
cies, and devoutly beseech their continu-
ance.
In witness whereof have hcreunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
Sttaes to be affixed. Done at the city
of Washington, this Sd day of Novem-
Der, in the year of our Lord one thous
and eight hundred and seventy-nine,
and of the independence of the United

NOVEMBER ELECTION.

The First Reports from the States which
voted on Tuesday.
State elections occurred in twelve
States on Tuesday, ana Municipal cleo
tons in three or four more.
In Minnesota full State ticket was
elected, the State, as usual going Repub-
lican, but the majority cannot now be
given. The vote being light in the great
er portion of the State the majority, will,
perhaps, be smaller than for several years
past. Except where there were local
contests the voters did not come out.
In st. Paul there we're but 1000 votes
cast where there should have been at
least 1000 and in Minneapolis but 1915.
In St. Paul, Rice, Dem. for Governor has
1850 majority and in Minneapolis Pills.
bury had $4,000 majority Pillsbury's
friends claim twelve to fourteen thousand
majority while Democrats do not concede
over 10000. Gilman, Lieut.. Governor,
has a larger majority than Pillsbury. In
the Tenth Judicial District the contest
for Judge called out full vote and made
the largest Republican majorities to be
found in the State. Page is defeated by
about 1000 every county in the district
going Tor Farmer.
The greatest interest of all the election
centered in New York. The ballot of
John Kelly gave the result an uncertain
ty which made the contest especially Wig
orous. Kelly polled 100000 votes in the
city and his total votes will reach 10000.
This gives Cornell, Republican candidate
for Governor a plurality of about IS, 900.
Both branches of the Legislature are also
strongly Republican. The Democrats
elect their, State ticket other than Gov
ernor by majorities ranging from five to
ten thousand.
In Massachusetts, the Republicans car
~ the State. Long, Rep, for Governor
having ten to fifteen thousand plurality
over Ben. Butler.
Partial returns from Pennsylvania, in
dictate that that State has gone Republi-
can by 10000 and some claim even a
higher figure.
Wisconsin elects Gov. Smith and the
entire Republican ticket by majorities
ranging from twenty to twenty thous-
and. The city of Milwaukee gave 5000
Republican majority.
In Virginia the contest was relative to
the payment or non-payment of the State
debt, proposition for com promise with
the landholders being pending: The
party advocating the payment of the
debt carried the State. 49,. ,..
In Mississippi the Democrats elect
their ticket as usual, but the majority is
not reported.
In Maryland Hamilton's majority for
governor is 21,740. The legislature will
stand: Senate, Democrats 10, Republi-
cans 8, Independent Democrats, q;
house of delegates, Democrats 66, Re-

AS the time for the election is nearly
here and as it will soon be necessary
for the citizenr of Shenandoah to select
A delegate to the General Assembly,
to meet at Richmond next December
we as citizens of Shenandoah would
call upon Mr.. a. G. Wynkoop to be-
come a candidate. In doing this we are
confident we have selected a gentleman
who will at all times devote his attention
to the interests of the State and the
public good generally. Should he con-
clude TO announce himself, as we hope
he will, he viii be supported by many
who desire to see him elected.

BASS FIsHING.-W have endeavor-
ed to yet a true and correct statement
of the prospects Of that enterprising
class of our population known as .he
bass fishers. We met one Of them and
on inquiry, he informed us that .herc
were no bass in the river, and that he
did not know the cause another said
there were plenty, but they wouldn't
bite and if it were not against the law
he would show us what kind OF bass he
could gig; a third said they were all
gone up the river, and that Bill Hook
man, Jonah Miller and other Edinburg
fishermen were catching fine strings ;
a fourth is earnest and emphatic in say
ing that it is all because Tom Kenner' S
mill dam is ten feet above high water
and that the most determined bass can
not get over.
After listening TO all these theories
we were about prepared to give our
readers deiuite information when anoth-
er fisherman came along and said that
there were plenty Of fish but the most OF
people did not know how TO catch them,
that he had just caught three that weigh
ed seven pounds and intended to catch
some more. You can look on both sides
Of the picture, and feel encouraged or
discour aged, Just as you please.

Some of our farmers, in their effort
to be economical, tried to raise wheat
without the use Of fertilizers. In some
cases the land did not bring the seed,
and the labor Of the year was entirely
lost. 1t does not pay to cultivate wheat
withaut using some kind of fertilizer.
Some have been successful with fer
tilizers of home manufacture which
were made at a moderate cost. Others
prefer the regular city manufactured
articles. We shall advertise some Of
the best this season.
