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.

THUGS Di CAMDEN.
Camden, Oct. 22.-Mr. L. L. 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

and fat," writes Mrs. Ora Bussard,

sale by all druggists.
