A DAY OF THANKSGIVING OR these and many other blessings and benefits, in order to give all an opprtunity to express their heart's gratitude to a Triune God, I, R. B. Glenn, Gover nor of the State of North Carolina, do unite with the President of the United States in proclaiming Thursday, the 26th Day of November, 1908. as a day of general thanksgiving and prayer. On this day I hereby order all public offices to be clos ed and all business therein to cease, and most earnestly ask all business concerns, private and corporate, as far as practi cable, to join with me in my efforts to make this day truly one of rejoicing and thanksgiving by closing their establishments and giving a general holiday to their employees. I also request that all good people assemble in their usual place of worship at 11 o'clock to return thanks to God for all His goodness and to consecrate themselves afresh to lives of truth and usefulness, as well as renew their vows of fidelity and love to their State, Country, and God. On this day let us not forget the widow, the orphans, and all others helpless and needy persons, but give to them of our substance as God has prospered us. And let us do nothing, as good citizens, to mar the joy, peace, and sanctity of this Thanksgiving Day. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State to be affixed. Done in our City of Raleigh this the eleventh day of November, 1908, and in the one hundred and thirty third year of our American Independence. Seal. R. B. GLENN, By the Governor : A. H. ARRINGTON, Private Secretary. NUMBER
