One of the fures which is to grace the

Shreveport Chapter. Daughters of the
Confederacy. to commemorate the Con-
federate Soldier, will be Aliens. Few,
very few, of the younger generations
have ever heard of Allen. He was Gov
ernor of Louisiana when the State was
in need of a fearless man who was as
chivalrous and as daring as he was gal
liant and unassuming. u was born in
Virginia and was an adopted son OF
Louisiana. Henry Watkins Allen was
the Colonel of the Fourth Louisiana
! Regiment of Volunteers. At Baton
Rouge he was desperately wounded
| when charging a battery. 1t was be-
lieved he must die, but he rallied and in
1864 he was elected Governor of Louis
lana. He had full control of every Sec
ton of the State which was free of Fed
eral troops Michael Hahn held sway
over that portion which was beyond the
reach of the Confederate soldier. Al
len had his headquarters at Shreveport
where he resided Allendale was so
named as a compliment to him. AS
Governor he rendered inestimable serv-
ice to the Confederacv and to the people.
He provided munitions of war. gathered
food and supplies and he helped the
needy and those who were in want. At
the close of the war, when peace had
been proclaimed between the North and
the South. he exiled himself to Mexico,
where he died in 1866. His body was
removed to this State and is inferred in
the cemetery at Baton Rouge.
He was heroic figure. In battle he
seeemd to take delight in crowling the
enemy. His men loved him and fol-
lowed him enthusiastically wherever he
led. He was patriot tried and true, a
man of the people and for his people.

He was dutiful because it was right and

Writes Of a Great Country.

Rev. c. L. Dickey writes to The
Commercial that he is now pastor
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church at Tyler, Tex city of
1900 people. 1t has the Cotton
Belt shops and is in the heart of
the truck-growing section, an in
dustry in its infancy, which bids
fair to control the berry, tomato
and peach market of the United
States. Rev. Dickey says that
hordes of people are pouring into
east Texas to plant orchards, then
sit back for the remainder OF their
lives. We want, to say that Rev.
Dickey is also coming man of the
pulpit. Every letter to his friends
brings good news from him and his

Some Good Entertainments.

Last year the opportunities were
limited for securing good attrac-
tons at Reynolds Opera House,
for the reason that no bookings
could be made till fall, the house
not being far enough advanced in
construction to justify 1t. This
year Manager Reynolds went into
the business early and the conse-
quences are that we are to have
some fine attractions in Union City
this winter. In the musical line
the bookings include the Herald
Square Opera Company, night of
October Ia; "ParsifaI night of
October %; julie Foreman Musical
Comedy Company in cinderella"
nights of November 10 and IL.
Next Monday night, October 9, "a
Breezy Time" will occupy the
boards, and on the nights Of
October l6, II, Is the Jefferson
Stock Company will be here. This
company was very highly compli-
mented at Clarksville and other
points where it has gwen recent
performances. cinderella, which
is mentioned in one of the musical
attractions above, appeared at the
Vendome Theatre. Nashville, last
Saturday night to packed house,
and the American loosened up its
flower pots about a column in

greatest event of Manager Rey-
nold's offerings this season. Of
course everybody who keeps up
with the times has heard of 'sPar-
sifal," Wagner's last work. which
was completed after his death.

duced in the United States. 1t re-

Washington, Spccial.-The Presi-
dent has issued his proclamation
naming Thursday, November Both
next as day for Thanksgiving. The
proclamation follows:
BY the President of the nitcd States
OF America, 4 Proclamation.
When, nearly three centuries ago,
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public they fronted rot only hard
ships but terrible risk to their lives. In
those grim years the custom grew Of
setting apart one day in each year
for special service of THANKSGIVING
to the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorial usage.
We live in easier and more plenti-
full times than our forefathers. the
men who with rugged strength faced
the rugged days; and yet the dan
gers to national life are quite as great
now as at any previous time in our
history. 1t is emincntly fitting that
once q year our people should set
apart day for praise and thanks
giving to the Oliver of good, and, at
the same time, that they express
their thankfulness for the abundant
mercies received should manfnlly
acknowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and i'll
nI fat In IN, CT, TO
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our
business prosperity has been great.
No other people has ever stood on as
high a level of material welI-bein" rs
ours now stands. We are not threat
ened by foes from without . The foes
from whom we should pray to be de-
livered are our own passions. APP
petites and follies; and against these
there is always need that we should
war.
Therefore, l now set apart Thurs
day, the 3Oth day of this November,
as Day of Thanksgiving for the
past and Of prayer for the future.
ard on that day l ask that through
out the land the people gather in their
homes and places Of worship, and in
rendering thanks unto the Most High
for manifold blessings of the past
year, consecrate themselves TO 4 life
Of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, SD
that this nation may do its allotted
work on the earth in manner
worthy of those who founded 1t and
of those who preserved it.
In witness thereof, have hereurto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington,
this second day Of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and five, and of the indepcnd-
ence Of the United States the one
hundred and thrtieth.
