The memories of the years gone by of happy family gatherings have especially en- deared the day to us all having to those. of whom there are many of us. who have mi grated from the scenes of their earlier years a peculiar significance of the day.
 The president If the United States has by his proclamation designated Thursday the twenty. ninth day of November, for its observance.
 By the law of the nation, and by the law of Arizona, it is made d legal holiday of the peo- pie of this prosperous community, to enable them fittngly and fully to observe and enjoy the ceremonies, all in their own manner, of Thanksgiving Day.
 Now, therefore 1, Joseph II. Kibbey, gover- nor of Arizona, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, November 29, 1908. Thanks giving day, and recommend its observance and celebration as such.
