for a concession in rates ori piece

here's life there's soap. It is only
natural ihat the people of Pittsburg,
finding themselves so much cleaner
than ever before should consider it a
direct interposition of Providence in
their behalf and discontinue the prac

is a mistake on their part. We know

Believing that God Almighty is the

Lord Jesus Christ, as the Saviour of
mankind and the'giver of erery good
and perfect gift, I, Alfred . Scales,
Gavernor of North Carolina, by virtue
of the authority, in me vested by law,'
do appoint Thursday, the 2.)th day of
November, as a day of special thanks
giving to Almighty God for the larjje
j share of mercies and blessings vouch
safed to us in the past year, and of de
vout prayer (hat He will continue to
us His guardianship and tender care
for all time to come. And I respect
fully urge upon all, in accordance
with an honored custom of the people,
to remember libenuly on that day, the
helpless orxhans that we have taken
under our charge.
Done at the city of Raleigh, this the
(Jth day of November, 18SG, and in the
one hundred and eleventh year of our
American Independence.
