The Presidents Proclamation.

Below we give the proclamation
of President Mex inley appointing
a day Of thanksgiving and prayer:
TO the People Of the Jnitcd states:
The approaching November brings
to mind the custom Of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions, of thanks
giving to Almighty God for all the
blessing He has vOuchsafed to us
during the past wear.
Few years i'm our history have
afforded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased,
our public credit has been improved
and strengthened, all sections of our
common country have been brought
together and knitted into closer
bonds Of National purpose and unity.
The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud Of war, but
as we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause Of humanity we
are permitted to rejoice that the
conflict has been brief and the losses
we have had to mourn, though
grievOus and important, have been
so few, considering the great result
accomplished, as to inspire us with
great gratitude and praise to the
Lord of Hosts. We may laud and
magnify His holy name that the
cessation of hOstilities came so soon
as to spare both sides the countless
sorrows aud disasters that attend
prOtracted war.
| do therefore invite all my fellow
citizens, as well those at home
and those who may be at sea or
sojourning in foreign lands, to set
apart and observe Thursday, the
24th day Of November, as a day Of
National Thanksgiving, to come
together in their several places OF
worship for a service OF praise and
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings Of the year; for the mild
ness Of the seasons and the fruitful
ness of the soil, for continued pros
perity of the people, for the devo-
ton and valor of our cOuntrymen'
for the glory of our victory and the
hope of IA righteous peace, and to
pray that the Divine guidance, which
has brought Us heretofore to safety
and honor, may be graciously con-
tinued in the years to come.
(Sigued,) WIN. MCKINLEY.

Rather a Novel Decision.

\ case Of much interest to the legal
proie. sion was tried Saturday before
Judge Carroll, in the Henry Circuit
Court. The Eminence Building a
loan Association, by the directors,
made an assignment to w. l.. Hud-
son and w. +. Clubb. The stock
holders attacked the assignment
through Attorneys Sachs, Holland
and Thorne. The court held, after Il
lengthy argument of counsel, that IA
building and loan association had no
power To make an assignment; that a
properly managed building and loan
association could not be msulvent,
and thereupon the assignment was
set aside. The assignees were re-
moved and the business placed in

Location of the Capital.

AT the request Of several friends
we give herewith the provision OF
the Constitution with reference to
the location of the seat Of govern
ment:
"Section $50. The seat Of govern
ment Shall continue in the city Of
Frank fort unless removed by q c0te Of
hro.thirolS Of each house Of the FIRST
GENERAL ASSEMBLY Which
conrenes after the ddoption of this
Constitution"
The first General Assembly met,
transacted its business and adjourned,
without taking any action; therefore,
so far as the Legislatures are con-
cerned, they cannot remove the seat
of government from this city.

Richard Wagner as lie Was.

The widow Of Richard Wagner
some time ago authorized her hus-
band's lifelong friend, Houston
Stewart Chamberlain, to write, with
her assistance, two articles on "The
Personal side Of Richard Wagner"
Mr.. Chamberlain undertook the
work, and The Ladies Home Journal
secured the material. The articles
are singuIarIy valuable in that they
give complete picture Of the man
in his home and daily life, and con-
tain much new matter, while many
of the illustrations and portraits have
never been printed. There will be
two articles, His personal side" and
GLOW He Wrote His Operas" and
the first one will appear in the Octo-
Der number Of the magazine.

An HOnOred Old Man.

We take the following notice of
our lifelong friend, Mr.. Thomas
POynter, from the Winchester Demo
crat. Mr.. POynte- has been an
earnest and devOut Christian gentle
man for more than sixty years. He
has won the hearts of all who knew
him by his quiet integrity and UNI
swerVing devotion to what he viewed
as the right. In every contest be-
tween right and wrong, morality
and immortality, he can always be
counted as upon the right side.
Never selfassertive, he commands
the admiration and love Of all in his
green old age:
"Mr. Thomas POynter, of Frank
lin county, furnished notable eX-
ample of youth and vigOr renewed

him at the reservoir last week rowing

nervous affection that enfeebles his
right arm, Mr.. POynter bids fair To

THE countess of Castellane, former
ly Miss Anna Gould, is so disgusted
with the conventional French mar
riage, wherein the bride, no matter
how humble, must bring a dover to
her husband, that she has organized a

among the lower classes without any
such obligation. She realizes the
amount of prejudice and the weight
of custom she will have to overcome
and is credited with saying that if
necessary, in meritorious cases, she

DURING the last ten years the rapid
growth of the live stock industry, the
continually decreasing price of cotton
and the more general appreciation of
the advantages of diversifying crops
have lead to a marked increase in the
acreage of corn and a corresponding
increase in the Importance of this
crop in all of the southern states.
This increase has not been sudden or
irregular, but has come naturally with
the gradual and cons slant change in
conditions, and all indications point
to still greater increase in the near
future.

THE reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed by German
authorities to the general use which
is now made of wire rope for rigging
purposes, as VIII as to the fact that
the hulls of ships are usually con-

whole ship forms an excellent and con-
tinuous conductor by means of which
the electricity is lead away into the
ocean before it has time to do any
