ADMISSION DAY
Nevada was admitted to statehood on the 31st day of October, 1864, and has since been known as the battle-born State. It came into the Union during the great civil conflict that came near dividing the greatest nation of earth. Its votes were cast to preserve the Union and its millions of dollars helped materially to preserve the national credit. It would therefore be fitting and appropriate, as the Carson News suggests, to celebrate Admission Day, October 31st, each year.-Bonanza.
