Next Weeks Issue
To Be Published
On Wednesday

In order to properly observe
Thanksgiving Day, on the last
Thursday of November, next
weeks issue of The Republican
will be published on Wednesday.
Local correspondents and adj
vertisers are urged to send in
their copy one day earlier than
usual, to insure their publication
in the weeks issue.
For the first time since 1888
the President has proclaimed
Thanksgiving Day to be the last
Thursday of the month, because
in that year and the three years
following he declared the holiday
to be the Thursday before the
last. In spite of this, Sixteen
states continued to observe the
traditional date and some cele-
brated two dates. Last year the
President admitted the change
was not for the best.
