bled in the Mississippi River.
The coming of this powerful
fleet offers a splendid opportuni-
ty to the citizens of this section

inch guns mounted in four cen
ter line turrets. and in sixteen

sister ships and represent the
type of battleships prior to the
Drednaught type. Their bat
teries consist of four 12-inch,
eight s-inch, fourteen 7-inch and
many smaller guns.
The compliments of these
ships average about $50 men and

Whereas, The custom of our

thanksgiving, on which to make
acknowledgment of the blessings
of the year proceeding.
Now, therefore, I, Luther Egg

on which the people of Louisiana
are enjoined to lay aside their
usual avocations and to assemble
in their homes and in their sew
eral places of worship for the
purpose of giving thanks to Al
mighty God.
Industry and perseverance
have shown the way to success
fully combat the post which, in
recent years, h as devas-
tated the cotton fields; new in
dustries have arisen and are
fourishing in our towns and vii
liages; and the future seems full
of promise to the agriculture of
the state in its manifold forms.
As we offer thanks for these
many blessings Of Providence let
US not forget the unfortunate and
the helpless and the just call up
on our sympathies in behalf Of
charity. In no better way than
this can be show our gratitude
for the favors we ourselves have
received.
