Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Mississippi’s Governor has is
sued the following Thanksgiving
proclamat on, which abounds in
nights of real eloquence apd al
truistic s» utiment, and cannot
fail to inspire the most ungrateful
wretch with a spark of the Divine
fervor:
“Material prosperity prevails
throughout the length and breadth
of our commonwealth; the season
has been prosperous and most
bounteously has the soil respond
ed to the sturdy stroke of the
honest husbandman. In all the
works of life, among all classes of
our people, in every department
of commerce and trade, there is
an air of thrift, an expression of
satisfaction produced by tbe .con
sciousness of plenty. While the
real greatness of a State, or a peo
ple; is not determined by the
measure of material riches, full
bips and hoarded gold, but rather
by the moral and intellectual qual
ities of ils men and1 women, yet
material riches are an essential
element in the process of the de
velopment of the perfpct citizen.
The exaltation of the ideal, the
reaching up after the perfect, un
failing courage of conviction, and
a steadfast purpose to do right*
are the splendid fruits of the
highest civilization.
“To be thankful for those qual
ities and grateful for that condi
tion which bless our material ex
istence, is beautifully ‘in accord
with the eternal fitness of things.’
Gratitude for favors received is
payment to the giver in the price
less currency of the human heart,
the highest tribute of the soul.
It is well, therefore, for a people
so abundantly blessed as the peo
ple of Mississippi have been, to
step aside from the crowded and
dusty highway of life, and, under
the green shade of peace and pros
perity, to spend one day in pro
found contemplation of their in
debtedness to the great God of the
universe and to make public ac
knowledgment of His infinite
goodness to them. Therefore, I,
James K. Vardaman, Governor of
the State of Mississippi, do here
by designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 24th day of November
instant, as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer, and do invoke the ob
servance of the same by all the
people of the State.
“On that day let all secular
business be suspended, and let the
people assemble in their usual
places of worship, and with pray
er and songs of praise devoutly
testify*their gratitude to.the Giv
er of every good and perfect gift
for all that He has sent for us in
the year that has passed, and for
our exemption from the scourge of
pestilence and our deliverance
from riots and international dis
orders, which have afflicted other
sections of our common country.
“Grave problems confront tho
people of Mississippi, together
with most of the other Southern
States of this republic, and pre
scribed as they are in dealing
with such problems by the organ
ic law of the nation, which law
may be enforced bv an unfriendly
hand, it will call for wisdom,
courage and patriotism of the
highest order to meet the difficul
ties and solve them.
lhe right thing must be done, j
but it must be done at the right {
time; often I fear will the provo
cation to deeds of indiscretion be
great, bpt let us remember that
‘He tbajt is slow to wrath, is of
I great understanding, but he that
is hasty pf spirit, exahetb folly.’
With hearts burdened with the
I great responsibility of the present
upon which is grafted the future,
pregnant with vital interests to
our people, let us earnestly in
voke the counsel of Him, who has
promised ‘to give light to them
that sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, and guide our
feet unto the way of peace,’ and
let there also be on the day thus
set apart a reunion of families,
sanctified and chastened by tender
memories and associations, and
let the social intercourse of
friends, with pleasant reminis
cences, renew the ties of affection
and strengthen the bands of kind
ly feeling. And while we enjoy
the good things of the world, the
fruits of judicious toil and pru
dent living, and give thanks for
the same, be sure that we don’t
forget that truly giateful hearts
are inclined to deeds of charity
and- love. In the great bank of
eternity I believe the largest cred
it will be given to Him who has
contributed most to the sum of
human joy, who has planted a
flower in the fainting heart of de
spair, and kissed it with the sun
shine of hope, and who has paint
ed the palid cheek of care with
the rose of health and happiness.
Let us therefore, remember the
poor ‘with our substance,’ it will
enhance the pleasure of our own
condition and render praise and
thanksgiving more acceptable in
the sight of the Lord.”

trimmed with bands of Persian silk,
in which is much red, and worn with a
plain red sash. The style of the gar
ment is peculiarly desirable and be
coming, and the empire suggestion
suits present styles to a nicety.
To make it for a woman of medium
size will be required eight yards of
material twenty-seven, seven and three
quarter yards thirty-two or six yards
forty-four inches wide, with one and a
half yards of silk for bamls and three
and a half yards of ribbon for sash.
Gan Metal Silk.
Gun metal silk Is one of the*fashion
able materials for dowagers this sea
son. When shot with white and
trimmed with rich white lace it makes
an imposing costume.
Draped Bodices.
The use of drapery across the front
of the bodice distinguishes many very
smart costumes. *
A Delayed "Taking.”
One of the doctors of West Frankiyn,
Me., who was making a free vaccina
tion tour, called at a house and inquir
ed of the lady in charge if she wished
to be vaccinated. "No. I was vacci
nated forty years ago, and it did not
take until two years ago. I think that
I am fully protected.”

Parta Cab Horace.
About 45,000 horses pul! the cabs of
Paris. The average life is a little less
than three years. They come up from
the country—three-year-olds—from the
meadows of Calvados and the fields of
Normandy, from Limousin and Finis
tere and the Gironde. Chained and
strapped Into the thills of breakers’
carts they are driven about the city
until they are broken to city sights
and sounds—to the horrible steam
tram, with its discordant clamor; to
the electric tram, that leaves behind It
a trail of electric sparks; to passing
regiments and processions and notably
to the policeman iwith the white wand,
says a writer in Outing. Then, being
bit broke, whip broke, city broke and
heart broke, he Is ready for the fiacre.
He goes on until he breaks his knees,
and longer even, until he has worked
out his average of three years. All of
which tends to make for melancholy.
