NOT TO THANKSGIVING-DAY, Before President Cleveland left Washington for his Southern tour, .a programme was arranged, giving ;the time that he was to stop at .each place mentioned on the pro gramme, and the only way that this could be altered after he start d, so that he could stop at a point not mentioned on the programme, svn.a to ston a moment or two and then make uo the time between f- A- stations, which was done in many Instances. Kow a few ot our citizens are disposed to attach the blame to the President for not stopping at Morgantou as he passed this point. We are not disposed to throw any more responsibility upon any of oar citizens than we are willing to assume ourselves. The Presi ( dent is not to blame, but the fault rests upon us all as citizens. If he necessary steps had been tak en by the citizens of the town and .county say a meeting held, a committee appointed to interview the President at Asheville or some point beyond and inform him that he was expected by our peo ple to stop at Morgantou five or $en minutes at least, and the anticipated occasion thoroughly advertised through the paper and by posters there would have been at least two thousand ieople at this depot, the Presdent would jhaye cheerfully responded to the people's call and everybody gone away satisfied. But as such was not the case and the oversight was in us and not the President, we hope that no blame will be at tached to him, as we see in every instance where the proper steps were taken along his route he niade it a point to acknowledge any demonstration made on the part of the people, and in many instances at different points he would give special attention to the most humble citizens. THE PKSSIBEMT AT ASHEVILLE. The people of Asheville feci ful ly repaid for all the expense they were out m making preparations for the grand reception. Fifteen thousand people were iresent. The President spent an hour in riding over the city and was pleas ed with the scenery. A large coiu pauy of ladies met Mrs. Cleveland on horseback, which added much tp the beauty of the occasion. The day was pleasant and the large crowd were quiet and orderly. All in all, it was a grand success. President Cleveland's Proclama tion Naming the 24tli of No vember. Washington, D. C October 25. The following proclamation was issued late this alternoon : A Proclamation By the President of the United States. The goodness and mercy of God which have followed the Ameri can people during all the days of the past year claim their grateful recognition and humble acknowl edgment. By His omnipotent power He has protected us from war and pestilence and from every national calamity; by His gra cious favor the earth has yielded a generous return to the labor of the husbandman, and every path of honest toil has led to comfort and contentment ; by His loving kindness the hearts of our people have been replenished with frater nal sentiment and patriotic en deavor ; and by His unerriug gui dance we have been directed in the way of national prosperity. To the end that we may with one accord testify pur gratitude for all these blessings, I, G rover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 2-lth day of November, as a day of thanks giving and prayer, to be observed by all the people of the laud, On that day let all secular work and . employment be suspended, and let our people assemble in their accustomed places of wor ship, and with prayer - and songs and praise give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all that He has done for us, while we huinbly implore the forgiveness of our sins and the continuance of His mercy. Let families and kindred be reunit ed on that day and let their hearts be tilled with kindly cheer, ap,d affectionate reminiscence be turn ed in thankfulness to the source of ill their pleasure, and the Giver of All that makes the day glad and oyous. Aud in tlie midst of our worr ship aud our happiness let us re. member the poor, needy find un fortunate, and by our gifts of char? ity and ready benevolence let us increase the number of those who with grateful hearts shall join in our thanksgiving. In witness whereof I have set my hand aud caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto af fixed. Done at the city of Washington this 25th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1887, and of the Independence of the United States the 112th. Geoyek Cleveland. Bv the President : Correspondence. To the Editor of the Morganton Star : Will you permit me just a word? I suppose every man with whom you meet has heard something of your trouble, knows just how you feel and can give any amount of verbal advice and sy m pathy. Well this is good as long as it lasts; but unfortunately it doesn't last so long just alter afire. And when we remember that October is al most gone, November's Chilling blasts are just before us, for a A. EVANS Is selling off his stock of itches, era m mtm AT COST.

Mills that the journal of the House of Representatives does not show that the Revenue Bill ever passed its third reading in the Bouse. If this be true it strikes us that a matter of this importance should be looked mto at the earliest prac ticable moment. We certainly sympathize with pur neighbors at Hickory. The fair at that place commenced Tuesday, the 25th, and it has bean raining every day since. We learn they are doing the best the circum stances will admit of. They are full oi energy and N deserve much predit. Chahlotte should be proud of giving one of the best, if not the b?st daity m the State. The Chronicle comes to us brim full of the latest news and always relia .ble. Success to-it.

F, Bayard, Secretary A Good Meeting at Morning Star, Correspondence cf The Morsanton Star. Pigeon River, N. C., Qet. 24, 18S7. We have just closed a se ries of meetings at Morning tar, near this place. Large attendance, Good order prevailed throughout all the meeting. Many christians were revived and made happy in the love ot Grcd. Resp'y, J. .K Lee, f imily to be driven from their only s iclter by the enraged flames of the fire god, they barely escaping With life, and thus made depend e.itfor the time upon others, is an appeal for sympathy and assist ance that surely no one will with hold. And while the amount nee essary to bring relief is small com pared with the ability of those to whom the appeal is made, this very fact itself renders this appeal the more necessary. Let no one despise the day of small things. There are times in human life when a cup of cold water is valua ble beyond price equal to a pro phets reward. And upon the other hand the sufferer could say. JMy kingdom for a horse." Seri ously let our citizens, each one who feels an interest in this case, come forward to the -rescue. Let every subscriber to The Star ri -new his subscription for the year 18SS, during the time from this date to the lgth of November pay ing in advance 81.50. And let everv subscriber make a special effort with friends to procure at least one new subscriber to the pa per for the next year at $1.00 each. In the mean time let every prop erty holder in Burke county atv knowledge a reasonable recogni tion of obligation to The Star, as au instrument, in the hands of its young and talented editor, of enhancing value, circulating useful information among the masses and in every possible way proving itself one of the most valuable county papers in the State. And let our merchants advertise more liberally than ever before. In a word, let everyone that can in any way contribute to the wants in this case come forward and do so. Anything in the line of substan tial:, such as material for replac ing the house'or feeding and cloth ing the family, will bo timely and thankfully received. All remit tances, subscriptions and dona tions can be addressed to the ed itor of The Star, Mr. J. A. Clay- well, at the post-otlice, Mr. L. A. Bristol, Mr. J. II. Pearson or Rev, J. X. Payne.
