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 Dr. D.

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 Wedding Festivities at dale.
