THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Governor Prouty Reeells What Yer
monters Shouts Be Thankful For.

fUOHNcFo 1Hoet4 - tHtoNN'Nt -
Again the crowded storshouses Of the
husbandman and the glory Of the noun
tain sides remind as OF the time-bonorea
custom OF our fathers Of setting apart 8
day OF solemn Thanksgiving to the boun-
tiful Benefactor OF all men for His abund-
ant blessings and His faithful care. The
twelye-month past has seen an uDparal-
leled return OF prosperity, wide IS the
continent. Established enterprises are
again dourishing, and new industries are
springing up Moral reforms are steadi-
~ advancing, and social conditions inn
proving. The contest for equal laws is
prosecuted with less bitterness and
clamor, and men are looking less to inn
practical panaceas and more to improve
ment in character and general intelli-
gence as the ground OF their hope for the
better days 10 be. Peace prevails among
the nations, and the conviction that the
welfare OF each Is the welfare OF all Is ra-
pidly approaching.
Therefore /, George Herbert Prouty,
Governor of the State OF Vermont, do set
apart Thursday, the twenty-fifth day OF
November, current, as a day OF Public
Thanksgiving, and recommend that upon
that day our people gather in their re-
spective churches and assemble at their
firesides 10 return thanks to Almighty
God; for the good land and the large
bounty which be has given to our faith
ers; for the grandeur of the granite
mountains, the strength OF the forest-cov-
cred hills, and the peaceful plenty OF the
fertile valleys; for the laughter of little
children, the persistent hopefulness Of
manhood, and the quiet trustfulness Of
old age; for the opportunities OF servi, e
with which this life Is filled, and II Q
sweetness OF rest when toll has been
faithful and hard; for the difficulties
which try manhoodis mettle and the OBJ
stacles which furnish the joy OF overcom-
ing; for the privilege OF working for the
common good, and for the hard tasks
which the past has left unperformed; for
the hope Of better world and kingdom
that is beyond.
II ia any community there are those
that want, let the bounty Of the more
favored Danish on that day the sting Of
poverty. Let every hearth spread wide
welcome to the children who have re-
moved to distant cities, and in every viii
lage aud hamlet let returning sons and
daughters bring good cheer and fond re-
cital Of old time joys. Let our thoughts
flow together on the noble record OF our
good state, the honor in which she Is held
throughout the nation, and the substantial
foundation that has been laid for future
welfare. In the observance OF the
Thanksgiving custom let US renew the
thankful spirit, and take courage from
the blessings Of the past for the work
that is still before us.
Given under my hand and the seal OF
the state this tenth day OF November, ia
the year Of our Lord, one thousand nine
hundred nine, and Of the Independence OF
the United States the one hundred and
thirty-fourth. George n. Prouty.
By the Governor:
Aaron II. circuit,
Secretary Of Civil and Military
Affairs.
