county are manifesting considerable ac-
tivity this week in trying TO arouse the
voters and get them sufficiently interest

date the voters have appeared unusually
Indifferent and unccncerned. 1t begins
to look now like the apathy is disappear

It has been noticeable for the past three
or four years that the people of the .ex-

and it is rare that one meets a citizen
who is not fairly wei UP with the times.

state that by far the most popular paper

its peculiar burdens. each to lace us
special crises and each has known years
of grim trial. when the country was men :
aced by malice domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon It in drought or food or pestllence;
when in bodily distress and anguish OF
soul IL paid the penalty Of folly ana
forward heart
Nevertheless. decade by decade, we
have strug sled onward and upwards; We
new abunGantly enjoy material we'll
being. and under the favor OF the Most
High we are striving earnestly to ac=
compIish moral and spiritual upi1funS.
The year that has Just closed has been
one Of peace and Of overflowins plenty.
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater
prosperity than we are now enjoying
FOR this render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to the Giver of Good, and we seek
10 praise Him not by words only, but by
deeds; by the way in which we do our
duty TO ourselves and to our fellow me.''-
Now therefore. l. Theodore Roosevelt,
President OF the United States, do hereby
designate as a day OF general thanks
giving. Thursday. the twenty-seventh day

mend that throughout the land the people
cease from their ordinary occupations
and in their several homes and places OF
worship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings OF the
past year.
in witness whereof ! have unto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
