There are indications that the Winona

Arrangements are about completed

Arbor Day Proclamation.

fAEOOE Dhy rOCIdlilAtAONs -
Pierre, April 17.-1n obedience to GUS
tom. I. Charles II. Sheldon, governor
OF South Dakota, do hereby appoint
Friday, the first day OF May, A. ID. 1896,
as Arbor day.
The prospect with which u people
are so greatly cheered furnishes US with
a strong incentive to put forth every
effort In our power to make our homes
attractive. We a learned hat the
only hinderance to1he successful grow
ing OF trees in some Of the past years
has been the absence OF sufficient water.
The ground of our state is now
thoroughly saturated from the melted
snow and the generous rains which have
fallen thus early in the season.
We are therefore encouraged to hope
for a bountiful year and ought to be
stimulated to unusual effort in carry
ing out the purposes for which Arbor
day has been appointed. Nothing more
encourages or develops the nobler sen
timents of the human soul than the con-
temptation of the beautiful in nature.
To a cultivated eye. a treeless prairie
Is vol of attraction. Groves around the
homes of the people change the hole
appearance of the landscape and fur
"is'i eNiueHee 1hat tEese MONIES are eHe
abiding places of intelligent human
beings with a taste for the beautiful.
Let us all. both old and young, vie
with each other in the planting Of trees
and shrubs, III the hope that they will
remain to future generations as evil
dences of u care, not for ourselves
alone, but for our posterity. Let adorn-
ments in this a be added to all our
public places that they may, so far as
lies in OF power, be made attractive.
In testimony whereof. I have here
unto set my and and caused the great
seal Of the state of South Dakota to be
affixed at Pierre, the capital, this 14th
day of April, A. D. 1896.
