a day in the spring as Arbor Day, for the
planting of trees, shrubs and vines.

the comfort and elegance of our homes
To the end that their planting should h5
encouraged by concentrated action, this
day has been established. 1 therefore
appoint Monday, the tenth day of May
next, to be observed as Arbor Dag, and
recommend that all the people of oui
State show commendable zeal in pro-
noting the objects for which this day is
designed, by devoting the time to plant
fng ornamental trees and shrubs along
their streets. in public parks and other
places and around their homes.
GIVEN at the Executive Chamber, in
Augusta, this thirty-frst day of
March, in the year of our Lord one
