Thanksgiving Proclamation
_WMhijiidfla^ Qnt. fB'-Pwi
dent Wilson today issued a pro
clainatioii designating Thursday,
November 26th, as Thsngagiving
day.
The President's proclamation
which refers to the fact that the
Uuited Stales is at iteaoeyliile the
rest of the world is at war, fol
low:
"By the President of the United
States of America:?A proclama
tion.
"It has long been the honored
custom of our people to turn in
the fruitful autumn of the year in
praise and thangsgiving to Al
mighty God for his many blessings
and mercies to us as a nation. The
year that is now drawing to i*,
close since we last observed our
day of national thanksgiving has
been, while a year of discipline be
cause of the mighty forces of war
and of change which have disturb
ed the world, also a year of special
blessing for us.
"It has been vouchsafed to us to
remain at peace, with honor, and
in some part so succor the suffer
ing and supply the needs of those
whosre in want. < We have been
privileged by our own peace and
self control in some degree to
steady the counsels and shape the
hopea and purposes of a day of
fear and distraaa Our [>eopIe
have looked upon tbeir own life
as a nation with a deeper compre
hension, a fuller realization of
tbeir responsibifitiesaa well as of
bjessings, and a keener sense of
the moral and practical significance
of what their' part among the
nations of the world may come to
be.
"The hurtful effects of foreign
war in their own induatrial and
commercial affairs have made them
feel the more fully and see the
more clearly their mutnsi inter
pendeuce upon one another and
has stirred them to a helpful co
operation such as tbey have
seldum practiced before.Ttiey have
been quickened by a great moral
stimulation. Their ur.mi.. akable
ardor for peace, their earnest pity
aod disinterested sympathy for
those/ who are suffering, their
readiness to help and to think of
the needs of others, has revealed
thedt to themselves as well as to
the world.
"Our crop* will feed all wbo
need food, the eelf-poaaeasion of
our people amidst the muet serious
anxieties and difficulties and the
steadiness and resourceft^hieas of
our bnainess men will serve other
nations as well as our own.
'"The business of the country
lias been supplied with new instru
mentalities and the commerce of
tlie world with new channels of
trade and intercourse. The Pana
ma canal has been opened to the
commerce of the nations. The two
continentsof America have been
bouud iu closer tie* of friendship.
Now instrumentalities of inter
national trade have been created
which will be also new instrument
alities of acquaintance, intercourse
and mutual service. Never before
liave tbe "people of the United
States been so situated for their
own advantage or the advantage
uF rbeir neighbors or so equipped
to serve themselves and mankind.
"Now,i Therefore, I, Woodrow
Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do hereby de
signate Thursday the twenty-sixth
of November next as a day of
Thanksgiving and orayor, and in
vile the people throughout the
land to cease from their wonted
occupation" and ia tbeir several
homes and plaoes of worship ren
der thanks to Almighty Ood.
"In witness whereof I have
hereunto aet my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be
affixed.
"Done at the City of Washing
ton, this twent.v-eighth day oi
'October, in the year our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and four
teen, and of the independence ol
tbe United States of America, the
one hundred and thirty ninth.

Europe's Warning to America
Europe Ta uCEeVii,<r
a solemn
warning to America. The old
world is shaking to the new.
Ancient monarchic* are offering
counsel to our young republic.
For a generant i<>n we have been
aping Kit roue. The ideal of Wash- j
ington and the other founders of
our nation hat been fading from
ov.ny eyes. To not a few Europe
lias become "i model. We have
adople i many of tbe old world
customs. '
\\* have a Navy League, and
*yd*juch our dreadnoughts with
life playing of bands, and the
hurra)is of high State officials. We
have Our annual par scores and
our annual naval reviews?all just
like Euro|>e!
We hsvo our swelling naval bud
gets, and otrr Sngifaidly ap propria
lions for the cause of social UAler
mailt, after the European fashion.
We have our interminable dial
ler about hypothetical utlacks and
conjectural penis, and the .fncfcss
ant speech malting of colohela and
magaziue-writiog and book-making
of colonel* and cofamodores. ad
tnirals and geuerals||tcUve and re
Ured. just as it is all done in
Europe. '
We have squandered millions of
dollars on fortifications in tbe
Philippines and other millions in
.Hawaii, and we are about to
squander other millions in Panama.
We have spent in a few- years
over two billion dollars on our
uavy, and this is but a trifle com
pared with what we are going to
spend, if the naval oligarchy en
trenched in Washington City has
its way.
We have learned to talk glibly
about naval tonnage, and paval
prestige, and to admire fourteen
th guns, aud..^iwbli4JtJtU--tures
of battleships, even in religious
papers. They do it that way in
Europe.
We have even begun to send
our boys to suunner military
camns, and are considering thoad
visability of introducing military
instruction into our colleges and
makiug target practice a part of
the biglr scliool curriculum. We
have cought the fevet. We are in
the race. ---- -
And now Europe, being in tor
ment calls to us: i"0 Republic of
ibe West, do not follow my ex
ample! Tbere are ways which
seem right to a nation, but they
lead down at last to the chambers
of death. Do not believe the
creed which we have long accept
ed. Armaments are not guarau
lees of peace. They are not in
surance. They are not instru-'
meiits of reason or righteousness.
They create first suspiciou, tljen
hatred, and at last lead young
man by the million to the fields of
blood. Do not choose path which
we have followed. Work out
your destiny along a different line.
Make the new world different from .
he old.
"Beware of guns. Banish the
mplementa of bate from before
our eyes. Take your mind off
be machinery of slaughter. Cease
o delight in the engines of des
Lruction. Trust in reason. Have
Ixaith in brotherhood. Believe in
fttive; Build your civilisation on
?he principal of good will. Bind
All the nations of the Western
Hemisphere into a federation
K;bich, by its fidelity to the law
Bl kindness and its devotion to the
B'ince of Peace, shall become at
Bice the inspiration aud hope of
Be world!"

relatives. Mrs. Woodard leaves
several children, amoug them be
ing Mr, Jesse Woodard who has
lived here for some time,
Mr. J. J. House has made an
improvement on the old fashion
way of grinding corn meal. His'
inetiiod prevents busk aud silks
from getting into the coru as it is
grouud into meal and makes -a
purer meal. The contrivance is a
kind of blower which blows out
everytbiiw but. the corn. J. J.

Much interest is manifested here I
this season in the coming football J
game between the Universities uf |

we stated that Mr.'Green delivered J
the response to the address of ^
welcome. Mr. Hihtonof Suubury ?
made this address instead of Mr. J

others will discuss tlie subjects. A
full audience is desired.
The Baptist and Methodist Sun
day schools will meet together
next Sunday morning in the Bap
tist church at 10 o'clock in the in
terest of tlie temperance cause.
It would appear that the war has
caused enough inconvenience to
our side of the world to keep peo
ple from blaming tlie administra
tion with the -low price of cotton.
Aud yet there am those who blame
President Wilson, If we only
knew it, Mr. Wilson has done
more than any other President for
the south as well as the entire
country despite the fact that he
has had more problema to confront
than any President since Lincoln.
