a PROCLAMATION.
TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW.
PORT NEWS

The jamestown Exposition,
celebrating the Tcrccntcnnial
OF the landing AT jamestown,
will he formally opened on
April 18th, 1907. The President
of the United States and his
official family, distinguished
representatives of the principal
foreign powers and the Cover
nors of probably score of
States will be present. Viz
sinia's Daughters in the Amer
lean commonwealth will send
tens OF thousands of their citi-
zens to participate In this cele-
bration and TO do honor to the
Mother OF States. The navies
of the world will assemble in
Hampton Roads, the hurbor Of
Newport News, for that oc-
casion.
Newport News and the other
cities of Tidewater Virginia will
be the hosts oh this notable oc-
casion. The duty of Newport
News, in this particular. is EN-.
phasized by the part which she
has played and the contribu.
ton she has made in the devel.
opment of the Exposition idea
and in the perfection of the
plans which made the EXPOSE.
ton possible.
In extending this welcome
Newport News should send not
less than FIFTEEN THOU
SAND of her citizens. That
the opportunity may be afford
ed the school children TO at
tend, the School Board has
wisely declared that the
schools of the City shall lie
closed on that day.
In my opinion the Importance
of the occasion is such that
April 26th should be observed
as holiday, not only in the
schools, but by the entire citi-
zenship of Newport News. The
offices OF the various city Off.
Gals will he closed, and | re.
specially request and urge
that tho banks and business
houses close their places of
business on that day and that
the citizens generally will
unite in making the day a spe-
cial holiday in honor of the oc-
casi0n.
1t will be fitting and grace
full act on the part of the City
and will add much, as our visi-
tors see it, TO the cordiaiity and
enthusiasm OF our welcome.
