PROCLAMATION FOR
THANKSG|V
BY MAYOR
Calls Attention To Blessings
That City Has Had In
The Past Year.

1t has been a year of unusual
prosperity. In Marietta and the vi
cinity the highest prices paid for
cotton in the memory of most living
men have reacted to the improve,
ment of local business conditions and
the general happiness of the people
of our city.
The arrival of another Thanks
giving day finds that there has
been much improvement in our city
and our city's civic life. New bust
ness homes have been constructed
and vacant buildings filled with
new enterprises all being indicative
of the prosperity which the provi-
dent God has given us.
But not only have the material
blessings been ours but health and
happiness has been ours in an I'M
young men have been called to the
border to keep watch ON the nations
interest but their dangers are small
and no war is in the land.
Especially have we been blessed
In that there has been no home in
this city spoiled and destroyed by
fire during the year. In a city OF
this size it is truly remarkable that
year should pass from Thanks
giving to Thanksgiving and find no
home blotched out by merciless
flames
So the year of 1916 has been a
glad year and with peace at home
and in the nation and with prosper
ity and progress at home it is al
together fitting and right that the
people of Marietta observe a day of
Thanksgiving
Therefore, |, Jim R. Brumby, Jr.,
Mayor of Marietta, following the
proclamation Of the President of the
United States and of the Governor
of Georgia, do hereby urge that the
people of this city set aside Novem-
Der 30th, as a day for thanks and
Thanksgiving services and set aside
this day as a holiday.
CSigned) JIM R. BRUMBY, JR.,
Mayor of Marietta.

would be In q bunch. and finally that
Boston would gradually battle Its
way to the fore and win on class. leav-
ing Chicago and Detroit to battle for
