LINCOLN's BIRTHDAY pRoCLA.
MMATION.
To The People of South Dakota:

To The People of South Dakota:
On the 18th day of February, 1909
one hundred years ago., was born the
Worlds Greatest Commoner, Abra-
ham Lincoln. In state, national and
social history his name and the story
of his great and simple life is famil-
lar to all. Today there is no person
age in the whole of American history
more exalted than Lincoln.
l deem 1t fitting that the citizens
of the state of South Dakota should
Join in the memorable observance of
the One Hundredth Anniversary of
the birth of this great man. The
North and South, as a unit, honor
his memory and revere the rugged
grandeur Of his personality. All for
get the bitterness and hate engend-
cred during the stirring days of the
early COS, in the admiration Of Mr..
Lincoln. His name and the great
work which he accomplished for the
nation and the cause of liberty for
the people, are familiar to the world.
1t is a great privilege to offer tribute
to his memory. The world will esteem
1t a measure of devotion to his prin-
ciples.
/ trust that the citizens of South
Dakota will Join in making this oc-
casion an incentive to patriotism in
our schools and all public and
social gatherings; thus evincing
the admiration which a free and
liberty loving people feel for
this great benefactor, who used
the power entrusted to him for the
benefit of those whose condition ap-
pealed to his sense of justice. To him
we are indebted for our national
freedom and a united nation.
Therefore, I urge the schools of the
state and all municipal. civic, social,
and religious organizations to OBJ
serve the day with appropriate ex-
ercises.

With the approach of spring the
time grows ripe for some earnest
work being done along the line Of
securing a wholesale grocery for
Mitchell. 1t is true that much eff
fort has been expended along this
line, and 1t is also true that much
more will have to be expended be-
fore this industry is secured. We
believe, however, that with constant
agitation and the presentation of the
subject that the grocery will be OBJ
tanned. There are plenty of men
waiting for openings just like Mitch
ell has to offer and that individual
is going to find 1t one of these days.
We do not believe there is a point
in the state which has a more advan-
tageous opening for a wholesale
grocery than has Mitchell. Here is
a country extending west to the Black
Hills which is being peopled on the
farms, where towns are being built
up constantly, and which will event
ually become a grand place for the
eXtention of business. At the pres
ent time this vast country is being
supplied with all it's goods, by houses
located in Sioux City, Sioux Falls
and Minneapolis and st. Paul. 1t
takes from "a to SO hours longer
to land goods out there from the
nearest shipping point, and what a
vast amount of time could be saved
with a wholesale house located at
the real gateway to the west. With
in a radius of 65 miles of Mitchell
there is a country to be fed and
clothed. This is all being supplied
with wholesale houses remote from
the territory, and should be supplied
by institutions located in Mitchell.
The territory surrounding Mitchell
cannot be surpassed in the state.
Farms are we'll developed; the towns
arg growing with great rapidly: the
towns are we'll filled with people,
and the country generally Is very
prosperous. These things appeal to
a nan who wants to engage in busi-
ness whether retail or Wholesale.
The Commercial Club will be very
glad indeed to enter into correspon-
dence with any party who is at all
anxious to got into tho Wholesale
grocery or any other wholesale line.
Information will be supplied to show
just what the country is and what
its prospects are. Ten years of good
crops cannot help but make a country
prosperous, and ten years of favor
able weather puts that country on a
basis where it can be said to be
successful in agricultural lines.

on the earth to preserve and save the
life of mankind, why did Jesus. who

Mankind says God is immutable and

the immutable and changeless God to
change, change, change; until mankind
conceive of God as the very center and

for all things, and yet kneel and pray
that He may forget His immutibility
