THANK SGI\TXG PROCLAMATION. Thursday, November 29, Set Aside By the President In A ccordance Wim Custom. Washington, Oct, 23.-The presi? dent today issued a 4 proclamation naming Thursday, November 29, as a day of thanksgiving. The text of the proclamation is as follows: "The time of year has come, when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of "thanksgiving and praise to the Al? mighty because of the blessings we have received, and of prayer that these blessings may be continued. Yet another year of wide spread well-be? ing has past. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than is ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reck? less pride, and least of all a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibili 1 ties; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings, and a resolute pur? pose, under Providence, not to for? feit them by any action of our own. '"Material well-being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything hut the foundation of true national greatness and happiness. It we build aiothing upon the foundation, then our national life will be as meaning? less and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well-being must be built a superstructure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest mortality, or else cur prosperity itself will be in the long run a curse instead of a blessings. We should be both reverent? ly, and earnestly bent upon turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction. . "Accordingly I hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and supplication on which teh people shall meet in their homes or their church? es, devoutly acknowledge all that has been giv^en them, and pray that they might in addition receive the power to use these gifts aright. 'Tn witness thereof, I have here? unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United- States to be affixed. ' Done at the city of Washington this 22nd day of October, in the year of Lord one thousand nine hundred and six ad of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-first. "Theodore Roosevelt. "(Seal) "By the president, VElihu Root, Secretary of State."

Block, a prominent merchant of this city, a member of the firm of Hurst 3ros & Co., was attacked on the street in front of his residence about 7 o'clock tonight by a white man. He was struck a stunning blow in the head which opened the scalp for three inches, but was fortunately not ren? dered unconscious. An iron brace, used for retaining the back board of a wagon, was found at the spot, bent to the shape of a human head and it is thought this was the weapon used. Mr. Block left his store about 7 o'clock for his home. He followed his usual course, up Broad street to De? Kalb and from there straight home on DeKalb street. Owing to the fact that the electric light plant was blown up here several months ago, the streets were very dark tonight, with a misty rain falling, they were especially forbidding. Mr. Block noticed just before he reached his gate that some one was following close behind him and turned to look just in time to receive the terrific blow. He staggered, but did not fall, and although badly dazed, gave immedi? ate pursuit to his assailant, who had turned back down DeKalb street. He followed him as far- as the corner of Littleton street, but in his weakened condition could not go further. In the short glimpse he had of his assailant he was able to discern that he was a white man. ? The fact that the assault occurred on DeKalb street, directly opposite to the spot where Mr. R. M. McDowell was killed and Mr. R. L. Porter wounded, just a year ago this month, has stirred up the people of the town to fever heat To Judge a Remedy * You must know its father and mother, and so understand the rea? son for its existence. Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets, a treatment for sick-headache, dizziness, pains in the side, constipation and biliousness, is based on the formula of one of the greatest physicians ever known.
