T-ERRIToRIAL FAIR.
must confess | was somewhat sprpris-
ed to notice the time, 18th inst, set by
the President, for the reception of prOpO-
sails, naming the place for holding the
next Annual Territorial Fair. vC.
Your paper was received here on We'd
nesday, Feb. ID, and viii, if the "Adver-
tser'' goes to Dakotaand Niobrarah, con-
vey the news to those people, just about
the time the President is deciding the
question of location. wa
They, of course, then, can have no
voice in the matter, and win consider
themselves virtually excluded from any
participation in the proceedings.
In Douglas county, general notice cannot
be given through the medium of our pa
pers, before the 9TH inst, that such a pro-
ject is on foot, and we could not consist
emily expect to have a meeting before the
10Th of this month, and then no time to
canvass the county, for the mail consumes
about the balance of the time to get the
news 10 Brownville.
The Territorial law on this subject, is
not generally understood, or known to
exist, and many in our own midst, who
who should be interested, say they knew
nothing of the proceedings Of the Terrific
rial Board. l think the President should
recall that notice, and if deemed necessary
to attract attention to the matter, let week
ly articles be written for the several pa
pers, calling the attention of those inter
ested, to the subject.
l presume there is not a county in the
Territory, now prepared to answer the
question.
Many of them have not yet organized
societies, and, therefore, cannot act; but
if time is given, we may have harmony
and good feeling, among all the a~ssoeia-
tons, throughout the Territory.
1t is not necessary to decide the ques-
ton previous to April or May, nor even
as soon as that time,
Endeavor to start the people to medita-
ting by agitating the subject among them.
Give them short notices and repeat the
dose often, until they may be induced to
wake up to their own interests, and com
mence the work in earnest.
Let all the preliminaries be attended
to, which can be done by the officers.
The Secretary may continue, as he has
commenced, to make an effort to procure
the attendance of some celebrated speak
er, as the orator of teat occasion, who
will attract attention and draw a large
audience to the Fair grounds, and if pos
sible announce who it may be before the
choice of the ground is made.
The President and Secretary are to
draft rules, regulations, premium hist, &c.
That might be attended to Immediately,
and let them become generally known
throughout the Territory, by newspaper
publication, as far as may be practicable.
Invite the names of committeeman re-
p~eatedly, along with other solicitations,
and probably the farmers and others Will
be led to reflect upon, and see the good
results attendant upon such associations.
If all will take hold and work together,
for the advancement of the agricultural
interests of Nebraska, they will certainly
reap their reward in accordance with their
4, efforts.
