PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
1
Thursday, November 24th, Fixed
as a Day for General Thanks-
giving.
By the President of the United
States of America—A Proclamation :
It has pleased Almighty God to
• bring the American people in safety
and honor through another year,
and m accordance with the long,
unbroken custom handed down to us
by our forefathers, the time has
come when a special day shall be set
apart ¿a which to thank him who
holds all nations in the hollow of his
hand for the mercies, thus vouch-
safed to us.
" During the century and a quarter
of our National life we as a people
have been blessed beyond all others,
and for this we owe humble and
heartfelt thanks to the authofc of all
• blessings. The year that has-closed
has been one of peace within our
own borders as well as between us
and all other nations. The harvests
have been abundant, and those who
work, whether with hand or brain,
•are prospering greatly. Reward
has waited upon honest effort. We
have been enabled to do our duty to
ourselves and to others. Never has
there been a time when religious and
charitable effort has been more evi-
dent. Much has been given to us
and much will be expected from us.
We speak of what has been done by
this Nation in no spirit of boastful-
ness or vainglory, but with full .and
reverent realization that our strength
is as nothing unless we are helped
from above. Hitherto we have been
given the heartiest. strength to do
the tasks allotted to us as they sev-
erally arise. We are thsuikful for
all that has been done for us in the
past and we pray that in the future
we may be strengthened in the un-
dying struggle to do our duty fear-
lessly and honestly, with charity
and good will, with respect for our.
selves and with love toward our
feilonmen. In this great republic

strength with personal freedom is
being tried on a scale more gigantic
than ever before in the world's his-
tory. Our success will mean much,
not only for ourselves, but for the
future of all mankind, and every
man or woman in our land should
feel the grave responsibility resting
upon him or her, for in the last an-
alysis this success must depend upon
the high average of1 our individual
citizenship, upon the way in which
each of us does his duty by himself
and his neighbor.
Now, therefore I, Theodore Roose-
velt, President of the United States,
do hereby appoint and set apart
Thursday, the 24th of this Novem-
ber, to be observed as a day of
thanksgiving by all of the people
of the United States at home or
abroad, and do recommend that on
that day they cease from their or-
dinary occupations and gather in
their several places of worship or in
their homes, devoutly to give thanks
to Almighty God for the benefits He
has conferred upon us as individuals
and as a Nation, and to beseech-him
that in the future his divine favor
may be continued to us.
In witness, whgreof, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the cjity of Washington
this 1st day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and four, and of the inde-
pendence of the United States, the
one hundred and twenty-ninth.
Theodore Roosevelt.
By tfie President: John Hay, sec-
retary'of State.
Gin Nearing Completion.
A Brand representative visited
the new gin this week and found
everything pertaining to the plant
nearing completion. The building
has been finished and nearly all the
heavy machinery placed, so that
when the finishing touches are looked
after, which will be about next
Wednesday, Messrs Tucker & Jac-
obsen will be ready to receive cotton
and start the machinery to operating.
* While they do not anticipate a
very heavy run this season, they
will expect to gin from 1000 to 2000
bales next season.
Apples at a Lou.
For a few days only, I will sell
apples at a loss. Call at the Racket
Store and let your wants be knoSrá

Halloween Party.
Robert Burns said "The passion
of prying into futurity makes a
striking part of the history of human
nature in its crude state in all ages
and nations," and the earnest efforts
put forth by the young ladies at the
Halloween party held at Miss Nora
Daniel's on Monday evening for de-
termining their husbands to be,
proves, to us that belief in fortune
telling is still extant.
Believing that on October 31, be-
tween dusk and midnight, "the
wheels of thelütíiVersal love factory
are set to running at full speed",
the young ladies of Hereford were
invited by Miss Daniel to meet at
her home where, in imitation^of their
Scottish sisters, they ate apples
before mirrors in which the faces
of their future husbands were seen
by the light of single candles, threw
two named nuts in the fire and
watched if they burned brightly and
evenly, thereby proving the future
unmarred,pitched apple pealings over
their heads and seeing the initials of
their sweethearts and in divers ways
sought to appease their curiosity
anent what the days to come have in
store for them, all being happily
satisfied with the results of the even-
ing's efforts except Miss Jessie Head
on whom fell the lamentable decree
of old maidhood.
In a fishing contest after apples
in a tub of water by means of the
teeth, Miss Nora Walters won the
prize which was a box of candy.
Playing ghosts and relating
ghostly naratives in the latter hours
of the evening prompted the thought
of going out on a masked marauding
expedition, the results of which were
found before the doors of the busi
ness houses Tuesday morning and
made the various men of business to
believe that Halloween is indeed the
night when witches, devils and other
mischievous beings are supposed to
be all abroad on baneful midnight
errands."
Freighters and Plowew
Wanted at Once.
We want a large amount of
freighting and plowing done. Have
one thousand acres of sod to break,
25 miles of wire fence to build. Con-
tractors please apply to Laird-Her-
ring Mercantile Co., Bovina, Texas,

Government Forest Reserve.
The following from the Texico
Tcumpet indicates the character of
work being done by the government:
"The sand hills between Texico
and Portales from the Texas line for
forty miles northwest—out to the
Horn Ranch—will be taken off the
market immediately and made a
government forest reserve. It will
embrace in all nearly 50,000 acres
of sand hills, all in Roosevelt county,
which are not supposed to be good
for agricultural purposes. The
government agent was here this
week and went over the ground, and
has returned to Washington to make
his report at headquarters. He in-
formed the Trumpet that a procla-
mation would soon be made, setting
this land aside, and that he thought
a few sections would be fenced and
planted in cottonwood, black locust
and pine next spring. «He says that
trees ought not to be set out here in
the fall, but should always be set
out in the spring and then be pro-
tected from the winds. This reserve
may remain unfenced and unoccupied
for many years, and will afford fine
range for stockmen and farmers
along its borders, as the grass is fine
and the hills are good windbreaks
for the cattle in winter. Farmers
have filed here and there in the hills,
and a good many cattle are already
scattered over this government
reserve. The lines go around them
and leave them in peacable pos-
seas inn.
Oil Near Roswell.
Roswell, N. M., Oct. 30.—The
discovery of oil on the Cittingham
ranch at Riverside stockyards,
twelve miles north of the city, on
the Pecos Valley and Northeastern
railway, has occasioned the wildest
excitement in the valley and hun-
dreds are flocking there and are
staking mineral claims. The oil
was discovered at a depth of 1,115
feet.
Already 4,000 claims hive been
staked out and a square of four
miles has been taken up.
Great secrecy has been kept in
regard to the discovery, but it
leaked out yesterday and hundreds
of people from Roswell and Artesia
went there last evening. It is
thought that 5,000 people will arrive
there in the course of the next week.
Experts say that the discovery it
the best that has ever been made in
the valley.
Referring to the above* we are
pleased to learn that a number of
Hereford citizens got in pn the
the ground floor. Among those who
have filed in the Roswell oil belt, is
F. Herrón who has forty acres in
what is supposed to bs the heart of

Mr. Harding Will Move.
J. P. Harding and family will
leave tomorrow for Howe, Texas,
where they expect to make their
home. Mr. Harding having made ar-
rangements to engage in the drug
business in that town, will move
his stopk from Hereford1 there.
Our entire commünity will deeply
regret to lose this family. For the
past two years, Mr. Hardihg has
been one of Hereford's most pro-
gressive business men, always ready
to do what he could for the welfare
of the town, and his straightforward
way of dealing with his fellowman
enables him to leave the town with-
out an enemy and in the fullest con-
fidence and esteem of the entire
public. The best wishes of the
Brand go with them to their new
home.
