Thanksgiving Day.

following Thanksgiving proclamation
1.-The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the
gratitude they owe the God Of nations
for His watchtul care which has
shielded them from dire disaster and
pointed out to them the way of peace
and happiness nor should they ever
refuse TO acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away
from Gods teachings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own
devices.
ITO the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting that,
on day especially appointed, we
should join together in approaching
the throne of grace with praise and
supplication.
Therefore, /, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the twenty-sixth day of the present
month of November. to be kept and
observed as day of thanksgiving and
prayer throughout our land"
"On that day let all our people
forego their usual work and occupa-
ton, and, assembled in their accustomed
places Of worship, let them with one
accord render thanks to the ruler of
the universe for our preservation as
nation and our deliverance from every
threatened danger, for the peace that
has dwelt within our boundaries, for
our defense against disease and pest
Hence during the year that has passed,
for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors OF our husbandmen,
aud for all the other blessings that
have been vouchsa.ed to us.
"And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught US how TO pray,
mplore the forgiveness of our sins and
continuation OF heavenly favor. Let
us not forget on this day OF thanks
giving the poor and needy. and by
deeds Of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.

men say they overheard this Republic

crowd around the door of the polling
house and to hold their position, al
lowing their voters to get inside and
then TO come out and get in the line

the white voters that they would not
try to vote. This ruse came very near
being successful and a great many
white men went away without voting

fifty votes owing to the blocking of
the entrance to the polling place

order of the Judges. Several dis.
turbances occurred and colored man

ordered special officer George w.
Truitt to arrest the man and take him
TO the office OF Justice Carmean. a
large crowd of colored people and a
few whites went along with them.
Competent witnesses say that John
Purnell, colored man who keeps
store near the bridge, rushed up to the
magistrates office swearing that the
arrested man should not go to Jail.
He grabbed hold of young Lloyd
Hickman. who was going into the
magistrates office and struck him. He
then struck at Mr.. Charles Shockley.
Other colored men joined him and be-
gan TO strike out right and left. Then
the whites began to defend themselves
aud brick was smashed over Pur-
nell's head and Bob Covington got
another. Another white man rushed
in with gun and the crowd scattered,
Purnell running TO his store and lock-
ing himself in. The whites congrega-
ted in front and would have treated
him harshly had not an officer been
placed on guard to prevent it. Pur-
nell was afterward arrested and put in
Jail. He gave bail on Wednesday for
his appearance at Court. Covington
was badly injured. Henry School
field another of the rioters was caught
on Wednesday and placed in Jail.
