Gov Issues Proclamation Asking
People to Observe Thanks
giving Day

Austin, Tex, Nov. 3. Gov.
Colquitt today issued procIama.
ton designating Thursday, Nov.
n, as a day Of thanksgiving,
singing and prayer. The full
text Of the proclamation follows:
There should be, and always
is, a season Of JOY and thanks
giving. Most every human.
during the course Of life, ex-
-periences the agreeable sun
shine of ease and abundance: it
is equally true that most of US at
some period meet with calamity
and disappointment.
We are now blessed with
plenty the Giver of all good
gifts has been kind to the people
Of Texas. Let us, therefore,
with songs of thanksgiving feel
as David did, that:
l. The Lord is my shepherd;
! shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures; he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul; he
leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for His names
sake.
4. Yea, though | walk through
the valley of the shadow of
death, | will fear no evil; for
thou art with me; thy rod and
staff they comfort me.
5. Thou preparest a table be-
bore me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
8. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of
my life; and | will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.
(Twenty-third Psalm.
While we are Dressed with
plenty and are returning our
thanks. therefore let us not for
get the Importance of prudential
living; let us not be wasteful
and spend our bounty in "riotous
living" but conserve our surplus
20 that we may give freely of it
