PRESIDENTS
PROCLAMATION
Our Nations Day Of Thanks.
giving Set For
Nov. 27th.


Washington, Nov. 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today issued a
proclamation designating Thurs
day, Nov. q, as Thanksgiving
day. The proclamation follows:
"According to the yearly custom
of our people it falls upon the
president at this season to ap-
point a day of ffestivaland thanks
giving to God. Over q century
and quarter has passyd since
this country took its place a.
mong the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have
had on the whole more to be
thankful for than has fallen to
| the lot of any other people.
Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and pass
ed away. Each has had to bear
his peculiar burdens, each to face
it's special crises, and each has
known years of grim trirl, when
the country was menaced by
malace, domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon it in drought or flood
or pestilence, when in bodily dis.
tress and anguish of soul it paid
the penalty offolly and a forward
heart. Nevertheless, decade by
| decade we have struggled onward
and upward, we now abundantly
enjoy material well being, and
under the favor of the Most High
we are striving earnestly to
rchieve moral and spiritual up
lifting. The year that has just
closed has been one of peace and
overflowing plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed greater pros
perity than we are now enjoying.
For this we render heartfelt and
solemn thanks to the Giver OF
good: and we seek to praise Him
not by mis- works only, but by
deeds, by the way in which we
do our duty to ourselves and to
our fellow men.
SHOW, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the
United States, do hereby design.
ate as the day of general thanks
giving Thursday, the 9th, OF
the coming November, and do
recommend that throughout the
land the people cease from their
ordinary occupations and in
their several homes and places
of W orship render thanks unto
Almighty God for the manifold
blessings of the past veal. In
witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the sea-
of the United States to DO affixed
Done at the city of Washington
this Doth day of October, in the
wear of Our Lord One Thousand
Nine Hundred aud Two and Of
the Independence of the United
States the One Hundred anC
Twenty. seventh.

The Need of 4 Merchant Police.

This town needs a merchant
police or night watch. And that
is an established fact, we have
two banks and a score of valu.
able stores that are always in
danger of fire, as we have no fire
department, and If there was
night man on duty in nine cases
out of ten he would be able to
stop the fire before 1T got any
headway. Ana at any time
thieves are liable to break in and
rob not only our banks but the
stores also. There ought to be
good man hired the year around
by the merchants OF this city. 1t
wou uld be a small matter to each
concern if they would all go to-
gether and suscribe so much q
month. They could hire a good
man cheap and our town would
benefit by it also. The police
force we have now at night, al
though composed of good men. is
entirely inadequate to the de-
mand of the work put on them
We hope the merchants will look
into this matter thoroughly.

prospects are that the number will be
greatly increased this year.
The Bromo- Quiaine Tablets were first
made at Paris, Tenn, The first building
was an unpretentious structure, and the
tablets were made in small quantities.
The merit OF the medicine was soon dis
covered and the orders came In so ra-
pidly that the company was compelled to
move into larger quarters and the small
factory gave place to one giving employ
ment to a. large number OF persons. SO
that at the present time they consume ~
tons of duininc annually.
