Governor Conner has issued his
Thanksgiving day proclamation. Ad-
vancement of the cause OF education.
and the growth OF sentiment as to
temperance are two Of his reasons out
lined as causes for Thanksgiving. Small
crops are acknowledged, but the Gov
ernor points to q corresponding In
crease in prices to Offset the lack OF
produce. The proclamation in full Is:
"Our people have abundant reason
for returning thanks to Divine Provi-
dence for the many blessings on US
during the past year. while our crops
have been small. the higher prices have
made them remunerative. In the busi-
ness world there is every evidence OF
returning prosperity and there Is great
demand for labor at increasing prices.
Our people have been singulariy free
from pestiience and disease. Ad-
In education has been great
err than In any period OF our history.
We have more schools and they are
doing a greater work than ever before.
