THANKSGIVING DAY.
Proclamation by the Governor of
North Carolina.
While the excessive rains
have damaged our crops, and
twice during the year the public
peace was marred by acts of
lawlessness, yet our manifold
blessings have so far surpassed
our temporary ill that they call
to us for thanksgiving and
prayer.
The per of increase
in the State in-
educationally, and
has been phenomenal,
far exceeded our fondest
hopes The prices of farming
and trucking lands have largely
increased in value Industrial
enterprises are being rapidly de-
throughout the State
and are paying dividends.
Peace and good-will now exists
between labor and capital; no
pestilence or scourge has visit-
ed our State, and with the above-
two exceptions law and order
have been maintained
Our educational progress is a
source of congratulation, as long-
terms, more efficient teach-
better school houses and
equipment mark a new and pro-
period in our school life,
while the growing and
religious spirit of our people
moral condition never be-
fore witnessed. Thus in things
material and things moral, we,
as a State, have prospered
the past year as never before
and it is therefore appropriate
that a certain day be set apart
for praise to the Supreme Ruler
of the Universe for the blessings
so abundantly given.
Therefore, that all shall have
an opportunity of showing their
gratitude, I, B. Glenn, Gov-
of North Carolina, join
with the President of the United
Slates in fixing Thursday,
29th day of 1906, as a
day of general rejoicing and i
thanksgiving, during which day
for past mercies may
given and requests for future
guidance made.
On this day I ask our people,
s far as is practicable, to
pend all business and ant
holiday, and to assemble at
o'clock at their places of
ship and offer up thanks to God
for His numerous blessings, and
to consecrate themselves afresh
to His service, and to the
and building up of the
State.
I likewise ask the ministers of
churches on that J day to es-
hold up before the
the blessings to come from a
life of soberness and industry,
peace and good order, and by
freely giving to the cause of
charity, thus making us more
loyal citizens and better Chris-
I also implore all while enjoy-
their holiday, to do nothing
that will tarnish the fair name
of the State or dishonor God, but
that all they do may increase

Clinton county, that state, on
August 1847. His father
went through life with the plain
cognomen of Jesse W. Smith,
his mother's name was
M Jane Smith.
Mr. Smith tells the court t
It is difficult to find his name in
the city directory, because
are so many William Smith i,
perhaps more any other

are the letters of the
abbreviation of William, and this
has caused contusion about mail,

not carry this law a little fur-

found a large square bottle filled

IMPROVED STOCK SALE.
DELIGHTFUL HOUSE PARTY.
Ante
Al Innovation in Pitt County.
The sale of stock at the Ingle-
Stock Fain Wednesday,
Nov. 14th. was the first sale of
the kind ever off red to the farm-
of the county.
We understand that while the
sale was very well attended, yet
the bidding on some of the
stock was rather slow
and re was not altogether
life and spirit in the sale that
was expected Taken all
however. Mr, Joyner says
that the takings were quite sat
The people of this
county arc not accustomed
sales of this kind and naturally
until there is a sentiment for
improved stock no such thing as
fancy prices will be had. Asked
if he expected to continue the
sale of stock in future.
Mr. Joyner replied that, most
assuredly he did. He said he
did not expect to realize any
profit from the sale on the 14th.
and that his only object was to
break the ice and pave the way
for the future.
At this sale the stock that was
offered consisted principally of
hogs of the China and
Berkshire breed. No improved
cattle were offered at all, but
next year it is Mr. Joyner's in-
to sell a number of young
animals of the beef producing
type. If the farmers of the
county could only contrast the
difference in the value of even
a grade animal of the beef type
with our native or scrub cattle
at months old, they would sell
all the native, and if the price of
a pure bred animal was too
much for an individual then a
community would club in and buy
one together.
The principal difference be-
tween the value of a beef type
animal and a native is in the
rapid growth to maturity of the
beef type and the larger
of dressed meat to the gross
weight. A native will dress out
only about one half of gross
weight while the other will dress
from to per cent It gen-
requires about years
which to mature a native steer
while with attention a steer of
the beef type will weigh from
to hundred at to
months

Think of It
A dearth of local news often
leads to murmurs on the part of
those who prize local gossip
above all else, and it is not all the
fault of the publisher. Any live
publisher will not fail to give all
the local news worthy of note,
therefore when the local depart-
is short you should not rail
at editor, but remember you
have committed suicide,
got married, with
your neighbor, stole chickens, let
, your tern run away, or done a
other things to make a
Item. If a newspaper
publish current gossip, or
the hints and illusions of the
in the community it

admirably and has the highest
