Thanksgiving Proclamation.
That the year now so rapidly draw
ing to a close has been, for the people
of this Commonwealth, a season of ma
terial prosperity noue will seriously
question. The products of the farm,
while not so bountiful as were those of
the previous year, have been secured in
better season and dondition, and the
soil that grew them better prepared
for the sowing of another springtime.
Flocks and herds have thriven amain;
labor has been jealous and we'll re-
compensed, and business of every char
acter has prospered.
Institutions Of charity and learning
haYe reared stately walls and proud
domes within our borders. Amid the
waving grain fields and in our cities
and hamlets new homes have sprung
up to make glad the hearts of the peo-
pie.
Our citizens, remembering the aid
so graciously and unstintingly extend
ed them in the gloomy hour of need,
have been promp to respond to the call
for bread from the famine stricken of
other lands, that plenty might sit at
the family-board and happiness make
warmer the glow of every freside.
Patriotism has wed with progress in
guiding the destinies of our public
schools, and the pulpit and the press
have done much for the betterment of
society.
Mindful Of the manifold blessings re-
ceiYed from the everextended hand of
Benefcent Creator, and in accor-
dance with the public proclamation of
the President of the United States, I,
Andrew H. Burke, Governor of the
State Of North Dakota, by authority of
the power vested in me, do hereby call
upon the people of North Dakota to
suspend there there labors and observe
accordinp tn the raverentia1 c1lstom of
