Thanksgiving Day

IT is safe enough to reckon on
Thursday. Nov. 80, being Thanksgiv-
ing day this year in Maine. Governor
Curtis was again on Wednesday ask
ed about the proclamation and said
that he had simply been awaiting the
announcement OF the President, as 1t
has always been customary to name
the same day for the State as named
Tor the national observance, but as it
mad got SO near the day of Nov. %
that no prospect remained of that day
beng named, so Nov. 80 might be
considered as our State of Maine
Thanksgiving day, as with the advice
aid consent of the Council" he should
soon name that day.
