country, the year that is dying has
been one of unusual drouth and por-
rtions of our state have been numbered
among the sufferers. Be it as is may,
the causes of our Thanksgiving are
still manifold.
THE temporary cloud of depression
resultant of the adverse weather con
ditions OF the past season, is passing
and through its shadow appears, endim-
med and unfailing, the crystal line
star of a constant hope. We yet con-
tinue to enjoy in full measure those
rights and privileges, the way for the
attainment of which was paved in the
long ago by the pilgrim fathers, who
inaugurated our national Thanksgiving
custom, and for this hearts may
well be truly grateful.
1T is evident that intellectually and
morally our citizenship has made
marked advancement and although pro-
gress may be slow, it is, nevertheless,
sure, and little by little, the vital facts
of true living are being better recog-
nized by our states people.
Therefore, i, X. S. Wesley, COVER
nor of the State of South Dakota, IN
conjunction with the proclamation of
the president Of the United States,
hereby appoint as Thanksgiving day,
Thursday, November 80, A. d., 1911,
and recommend the day to the entire
citizenship of the state as one of rest
from the usual occupations and pur-
suits, to be dedicated by South Dakotas
people to Thanksgiving and devnut
prayer to Almighty God, in becoming
appreciation of His mercies, and the
blessings of peace and progress
received from His hand throughout the
year. For the contributions of the
earth to our needs, for the temperate.
cheerfulness and content of our homes.
for the maintenance of public health,
for all these and other blessings, let us
return thanks to Him, praying that
out of his infinite mercy and goodness
He may continue to lead us on our
way"
