GOVENOR PROCLAIMS THANKSGIVING.

State of Iowa, Executive Department.

From time immemorial the State of Iowa has observed one day in each year as a special occasion for thanksgiving and prayer; thanksgiving for the abundant blessings bestowed by Providence, and prayer for their unfailing continuance. The year, which is rapidly expiring, has been crowned with God’s marvelous goodness to all of us, and a grateful people cannot be forgetful of the Divine benevolence. Accordingly, I recommend that on the day designated by the President—Thursday, the 30th day of November—the people of the Commonwealth assemble in the accustomed places of worship and there with devout spirits render praise and thanksgiving to the Giver of every good and perfect gift for his manifold mercies.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the State of Iowa. Done at Des Moines, this 9th day of November, A. D., 1922.

(Seal) By the Governor:

N.E. KENDALL, Governor.

W.C. Ramsay, Secretary of State.

LeMars Globe-Post: C. E. Haas, referee of the Heiden estate, sold a 120-acre farm belonging to the estate yesterday. The farm is located near Adaville, and is not greatly improved, so that the price paid, $163 per acre, is considered very fair for land in this neighborhood. Frank Woll, of Johnson township, is the purchaser. Mr. Woll owns 120 acres in Johnson and bought this land in addition.

POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE WED
WELL KNOWN RESIDENTS OF STRUBLE VICINITY

Miss Edith Nicholson and Chester McDougall, well known young people
living in the neighborhood of Struble, surprised their friends last
Wednesday when they went quietly to Sioux City and were married at the
First Presbyterian church in that city, Rev. Wallace Hamilton
officiating.  Mrs. Barkel, a sister of the bridegroom, was one of the
witnesses to the ceremony.

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Nicholson, of Struble.
She is a very popular young woman in that community.  The groom is a son
of Mrs. J.N. McDougall of this city and was engaged in the automobile
business here for a time.  Of late he has been engaged in farming on the
McDougall place in Grant township.  They will make their home in LeMars
for the present.

ARE ON A WEDDING TRIP

Mr and Mrs. Merle Martin arrived in LeMars on Saturday and visited  ___
Moore, an uncle of Mrs. Martin.  Merle Martin and Miss Annie Dempster
were united in marriage on Saturday in the Congregational church in
Springfield, S.D., and are making a wedding trip in their automobile.
Sunday the newly weds were entertained at the home of John R. Hinde,
also an uncle of the bride, of Seney.  A reception and dinner was given
in their honor and their cousins and friends gave them a chivalry.  From
here they left to visit relatives at Dickens and Waterloo, Iowa, and in
Chicago, and from their will got to Chalmers, Indiana, where they will
make their home.

Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Dunn and Mr. and Mrs. Will Dwyer were visitors in
Sioux City on Sunday.

Mrs. George W. Burleigh and son, William, Mrs. Willard Hess and son,
Willard, of Gordon, Neb., are visitors at the Danne home in Stanton
township.

Mrs. and Mrs. George Farrell have returned form Vinton, where they were
called by the illness and death of Mrs. Farrell's mother.

Emil Schweppe, of Miller, S.D., a former LeMars resident, is visiting
relatives here.  He came down from Dakota with a carload of cattle to
sell on the Sioux City market.  Mr. Schweppe is making a success of
farming in South Dakota and says crops were good in his vicinity.  His
oats went sixty bushels to the acre and corn thirty bushels to the acre.
Since summer he says there has been very little rain in that vicinity
and a rain would be beneficial.

MANY ATTEND FAREWELL
Fitting Tribute is Paid to Departing

A crowd of about 750 people gathered at the First Methodist Episcopal church
on Sunday evening at the union service in which Rev. N. L. Haney, of the
Baptist church, delivered his farewell sermon in LeMars. Rev. Haney leaves
Wednesday for Lead, S.D., where he has accepted a call to a larger field.

Rev. J. W. Davis, president of the local ministerial association, presided
at the Union service and Revs. H. V. Comin, S. C. Steinbrenner, C. H. Seward
and P. C. Kehle, the other members of the association, assisted in the
service. Rev. Haney took for his theme, “The Unchanging Christ,” and
delivered an earnest spiritual discourse. The large meeting was a fitting
tribute to Rev. Haney’s popularity in this community. His friendships are
by no means confined to his own church, and pastors and laymen, churchman
and non-churchman alike regret to see him leave this community.
