THE COURIER Jo. ISSUED WEEKLY. PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE VOLUME XXXXII1. Asheboro, North Carolina. Thursday. November 21, 1918 M MBKI! 4C AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION MARCHING TOWARD GERMANY The American Army of Occupation on last Sunday morning at 5:.'iO began manning tow:rd Germav.y. tiaveling about twelve : ' ench day. The hon or if heailin-r t"o r.rst big unit of the allied occupat.. :a; ." reo has fallen to the American ami; . The advance is being made in columns and not in or der of battle. The advance gtard is followed by engineers who have joeii instructed not only to repair roads and reconstruct bridges but to inspect keenly every object and position that might be a trap. Every precaution is being taken by the allied armies along the line of protection. One part of the American Army of Occupation moved forward into Belgium while the re mainder of the line swung steadily for ward toward the German frontier. The weather since hostiliies ceased has turned much colder, ice forming on the brooks and thinly crusting the muddy roads, but the men began this historic march toward the Rhine good humoredly an i with keen pleasv.re. The men of the army just organized hare been fully equipped with new clothing and it seems hat there has been a re grooming of the entire allied f rces, even the horses have been rcgroomed and everything is in spick and span order. The retreating Germans have shown an inclination to cultivate their former enemies, many of them coming into the allied quarters and offering to sell their iron crosses for a penny apiece. A great many of the Germans prefer being prisoners rather than returning to their vanquished country. The Am erican Army is being received most cordially by the inhabitants of the ter ritory which has recently been under German rule, the people in Belgium and France rising early to extend the glad hand to the men who have helped to bring about peace. Great demon strations have greeted them along the line. Civilians in several of the towns have crowded around and embraced th bandsmen when the Mansellaise was played, So far there has been no hitch in the American advance to ward the Rhine. HON.

He will go immediately ifter the convening of the regular session of Congress on December 2nd. It is not likely that he will be ahle to re main throughout the sessions of the conference, but his presence at the out -1 set is necessary in order to obviate' the manifest disadvanges of discus-', sion by cable to determine the great-' er outlines of the final treaty, about which he necessarily must be con sulted. Ths time for the convening of the peace conference has not yet been disclosed. President Wilson has from Premier Llovd Geors-e of Great Britain, Clemenceau of France and other statesmen of ths entente coun tries in reaching his decision to at tend the peace conference.

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation President Wilson Designating Thursday, November 28th, As Day of Prayer . and Thanksgiving Throughout the Land to the Great Commander of All the Nations By the President of the United States of America: A. proclamation. It has long been our custom to turn in the autumn of the year in praise . . . , 1 . , I - 1 LI . I and thanksgiving to Aim.gntv 'nxi lor as a nation. This year we have special and to rejoice. God has in His good come as a mere cessation of arms, a mere rrliel from the strain and trag edy of war. It has come as a great triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us, not peace alone, but the continent promise ot a new day as woll, in which justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the natidhs. Our gallant armies have participated, in a triumph which is not marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In a righteous cause they have won immortal glory and have nobly served their nation in serving mankind. God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing as revives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of our na tional history. A new day shines about us, in which our hearts take new courage and look forward 'with new hope to new and greater duties. While we render thanks for these things, let us not forget to seek the divine guidance in the performance of those duties, and divine mercy and forgiveness for all errors of act or purpose, and pray that in all that we do we shall strengthen the ties of friendship and mutual respect upon which we must assist to build the new structure of peace and good will among the nations. Therefore I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, the 28th thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the upon that day from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes aru: ' iibwi it vvoi'shiin In ifnlce tli.'inlf.; to In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto (he United States to be affixed.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION BY GOVERNOR There has always been danger that our annual Thanksgiving Day might become a mere formality observed at the behest of the State, But this year our hearts foreran all proclamations, and the grace of gratitude attunes our souls tor the universal anthem of praise on Thanks giving Day. , We are grateful that we did not go to war in anger or in haste, but soberly, reverently, in the fear of God, We are grateful that our people were given eyes to see a righteous cause, and ears to hear a holy call to arms. We are grateful for the miracle wrought in the transportation of our llro 10 saTe lne civilization ot tne world. m w! ,aic grateful that these soldiers, fresh "rom civil life, fought with t'ie heroism and fortitude of seasoned veterans, and won for themselves and I treir country the love and admiration of all mankind. kingdom for such a time as this," and through him has made America the hope of all peoples who seek blessings of liberty under laws of righteousness. Therefore. I, Thomas Walter liirkett, Governor of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 28th, l'JIX, a dav of public Thanks- giving.

We would be delighted to have cor respondents for The Courier who could handle the news matter of their re spective neighborhoods instead of the personals, visitations of their neigh bors on Sunday or during the week day. There is a lot of difference be tween a correspondent who can think of nothing more to write than "Mr. and Mrs. visited Mr. and Mrs. ," of the same neighborhood, to one who can write that Mr. John , one of our most progressive farmers, killed hogs Tuesday and the heaviest one pulled the beam to ." Give news items of interest. Mr. W. L. Bray, a good citizen of Central Falls, brought us a few days ago some pears of the second crop grown in his orchard this year, lhey are nearly as large as hen eggs, well developed and ot natural color. If Asheboro had a few advertisers who would invite the country people hero to buy and sell, business of all kinds would hum in this man's town. Ninety per cent of letters from sol dier boys arc addressed to their moth ers. In time of peace these young bloods were mostly writing to father for more money. The Asheboro merchants are taking a laudable pride in their show win dows. Nicely dressed windows adver tise a tow n and at the same time ma terially draws trade. The way the floaters floated around the Republican leaders in this county on election day made one wonder where the ship wreck was at. lhe great day that many have hop ed they could live to see has come, The world is once more at peace. The Allies have achieved a gTeat victory a victory of arms and of diplomacy that has no parallel in all history Everything that we have fought for has been gained. More than two million American soldiers have gone to France, but probably not more than half of these have seen actual service at the front. But those who got there in time to get in the big fight have won .enough glory for all and have added a most glorious chapter to our military his tory. We were slow to fight and we love peace rather than war but the experience has given one nation a new position in world affairs and gains for us the respect of all nations as well as a most wholesome self-respect which will do us good. It is safe to believe that the com ing years will bring a great measure of prosperity to the people of this country. America, by virtue of her commanding position as a military and economic power, will share in the world's trade as it has never done be fore. New markets will be open to us and with a great merchant marine to carry American products to the ends of the earth and with the removal of barriers and restrictions of trade there is every promise that a ready market and a high price may be had for everything that American farms and American factories can produce. Out of the experiences of war the country comes with new opportunities for expansion and development. With the markets of the world waiting for American goods and an abundance of raw materials at home, we should not be long in perfecting the prosseses of production and distributioa. There will be ample capital to iaaaes the future and there will be etaploymeat for all who will work. If America does not capture the world markets now it will be because we are usable to compete with the world for them. There is but little sickness ia aad around Asheboro.
