A PROCLAMATION,
BY THE GOVERNOR.

In conformity with the Proclamation of the President of the United States, respect for a custom of our forefathers, and in reverential acknowledgment of dependence upon Divine Providence, I do hereby recommend that

Thursday, November 26th, 1874.

be observed as a day of prayer and supplication; that upon that day the people of this State abstain, as far as practicable, from their usual avocations, and observe the day in a manner becoming our surroundings.

And I entreat of all those endowed with the substantial gifts of prosperity, a kindly remembrance of those in the abodes of want. Let the accustomed gatherings "be made joyous by the exercise of that cheerful bounty which blesses the receiver and giver alike, and which is always an offering peculiarly acceptable to Him who holds the lowly in the solicitude of His infinite care."

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereto set my hand and affixed the Seal of State. Done at the City of Lincoln, this twenty-seventh day of October, A. D. 1874, and of the Independence of the United States the Ninety-ninth, and of this State the Eighth.

ROBT. W. FURNAS.
