The Proclamation Issued BY the
President of the United states.

Proclamation by the President Of the
United States:
Constant thanksgiving and gratitude are
due from the American people to the AL
mighty God for His goodness and mercy
which has followed them since the day He
made them nation and vouchsafed to them
free government. With loving kindness
He has constantly led US in the way OF pros.
perity and greatness. He has not visited
with swift punishment our shortcomings, but
with gracious care he has warned US of our
dependence upon His forbearance and has
taught us that obedience to His holy law is
the price OF continuance OF His precious
gifts. In acknowledgement of all that Cod
has done for US as nation and to the end
that on an appointed day the united prayers
and praise of grateful country may reach
the Throne Of Grace, l, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the 2oth
day of November as day Of thanksgiving
and prayer and songs of praise, to render
thanks to God for all his mercies, for the
abundant harvests which have rewarded the
toll of the husbandman during the year that
has passed, and for the rich rewards that
has followed the labors Of our people in their
shops and their marts of trade and traffic.
Let us give thanks for the peace and for the
social order and contentment within our Dor
ders, and for our advancement in all that
adds 10 a nations greatness, and mindful Of
the affective dispensalion with which por'
ton of our land has been visited, let US,
while we humble ourselves before the power
of God, acknowledge His mercy in setting
bounds to the deadly march of the pesti
lence, and let eur hearts be chastened by
sympathy with our fellow countrymen who
have suffered and who mourn.
And as we return thanks for all the bless
lngs we have received from the hands Of our
Heavenly Father, let US not forget that He
has enioined upon US charity, and on this
day of thanksgiving let us generously re-
member the poor and needy, SO that our
tribute of praise and gratitude may be ac'
ceptible in the sight of the Lord.
Done at the City of Washington on the
first day of November, eighteen hundred and
eighty. eli ght, and in the year Of the indie
pendence of the United States. one hundred
and thirteen.
In witness whereof have hereunto signed
nv name and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

silk Culture In Nevada.

Mrs. Chris. Hernleben, of Mason Valley,
tried the experiment of growing silk worms.
She sent East for a number Of mulberry trees
and planted them in her garden for the worms
to feed on. From small plant she Matched
about l 600 worms, of which she only kept
100. 1t takes about six weeks for the worms
to spin their cocoons, and two crops can be
raised in season if the frosts do not blight
the leaves on the trees. Mr.. Hernleben says
that it would take about 5000 or 9, 900 worms
to make the industry profitable. 1t lisa light
and pleasant occupation for children. young
ladies or old folks, and as it has been shown
that it can be successfully and probably
carried on in this State, there is no doubt but
the people will soon be raising. silk wsrm's,
and manufacturing silk before long.

TATE SPRINGS, Tenn, July 4, 1888.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ca:
During the spring of 1871, while working
in the field at my home in Morgan county,
Ca, pulled off my shoes to give my feet
rest. Unfortunately, walked into clump
of poison oak, and in a few days my feet
were in a terrible condition, and l could not
put on a shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. l was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition OF the dis
ease, only each time it became more dis
tressing, because began to think it was
lifetime trouble. Finally, was induced to
try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and
to-day am entirely well. My improvement
was gradual from the first, and no evidence
of the disease remains. l shall take pleas
ure in testifying as to its curative proper
ties. 1t is the greatest blood purifier in ex-
istence. Yours truly, ]. L. MORGAN.
The foregoing certificate is taken at
random from thousands of letters in posses
sion of the Swift Specific Co., and presented
simply as a sample. 1t is a voluntary
statement, giving facts ard results of the
case. Its accuracy and genuineness are

FOR MAMIE.

/ sat alone, and watched the Summer sunlight,
Grow faint, and fade along the western sky,
While Earth grew still as with the hush OF mid
night,
That has no sound above the winds low sigh;
And sitting there thought of our one cherished
So tenderly in days forever past,
Who in her early springtime faded and per
ished-
A flower to frail for lifes wint'ry blast.
In twilight hours we oftmes here together
Had walked among the Summers fragrant
bloom,
Nor dreamed that death so soon our hearts
would sever
And hide my darling in the cold dark tomb:
And here alone wonder if she never
Came softly down on pinions white as snow
Drawn by a wish to be once more together,
Just as we used to be so long ago.

The authorship of the dramatic produc-

agitaing literary circles to the very centre,
but affects the practical masses far less than
the momentous question, how to regain or
preserve health, that essential of bodily and
mental activity, business success and the
"pursuit of happiness" We can throw tar
more light on this latter subject than the most
profound Shakespearian can on the question
first propounded. If the system is depleted

the skin is yellow and tongue furred as in

NEW LoTHROP, July 5tn., 80.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
here in the old time manner. The
attendance was good, and the pro.
gram was fully carried out. The
exercises IN the grove were good and
consisted of music by the New Loth-
rop cornet band, singing by the choir
player by Elder Cross, reading of the
Declaration by l.. H. Barrett, oration
by Hon. O. S. Smith, of Owosso,
music by the band, singing by the
choir and benediction. The band
gives promise of much excellence in
their line. The selections given by
the choir were appropriate and well
rendered. The Grafton was quite a
departure from the efforts common on
such occasions, and dealt more with
the necessities and duties of the
present and future than it did with the
history of the past. The speaker
claiming that the prime necessity of
the hour, was education and that the
duty of educating the people in loyal.
ty, love of country, the value of our
free institutions and the duty resting
on all, of maintaining these institu-
tions, was among the highest and
most important duties of the citizens
of today. In the afternoon the sports
usually enjoyed on such occasions
were entered into and fully enjoyed
by all present. The parade of the
Calathumpians was greeted with
shouts of laughter. Two "Bower"
dances gave those so inclined the
opportunity of tripping the light
fantastic toe." All seemed happy
and the best of order prevailed
throughout.
