Page 2 <br> <br> <br> Proclamation. <br> <br> <br> By the governor of Wisconsin. <br> <br> <br> By the favor of Almighty God, the year now closing, has been preeminent <br> for abundant harvests and rich rewards to all forms of industry. By <br> His favor, the blessings of health, of peace and security to person and <br> property have been continued unto us. By his favor, the honor and the <br> Perpetuity of our State and Nation have been confirmed, and civil, religious <br> and political liberty for ourselves and our posterity, reassured. <br> In grateful recognition of these and other innumerable benefits, and <br> conforming to the recent proclamation of the President of the United <br> States, in that behalf, I, William E. Smith, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, <br> do hereby appoint <br> Thursday, Nov. 25th, inst., <br> to be the day of public thanksgiving and praise; and I recommend to all the <br> people to observe it as such. <br> Our fathers were accustomed, upon similar occasions, to suspend all <br> public and private business, and, by appropriate religious services, social <br> festivities and charitable deeds, to testify their appreciation of Divine <br> bounty, and their gratitude therefor. Let us follow their ennobling <br> Example. <br> “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, … and to <br> declare His works with rejoicing.” <br> In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the <br> Great Seal of the State of Wisconsin to be affixed. Done at <br> the Capitol, in the city of Madison, this eighth day of November, <br> in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred <br> and eighty. William E. Smith <br> By the Governor: <br> Hans B. Warner, Secretary of State. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Page 3 <br> <br> <br> Menu. <br> <br> <br> Blue Point Oysters Raw. <br> Dressed Celery. <br> <br> <br> Mock Turtle Soup.
