confirm that opinion by proving it so. Let us
exert ourselves to become the banner State in
this particular. We can easily do it by making
one grand, final and united effort on the day of

ton box, so that eachvoter OF every party, can
| give his mite toward the completion of the mag
nifcent monument to the Father of his Country.
The Judges of election are requested to forward
such sums as they may collect, to the County
Clerk, who will make up and forward to.the State
Superintendent, the total amount collected in his
county, and the county giving the largest sum,
In proportion to the number of votes cast, (pro-
vided said sum shall exceed sl00) shall be EMIT

now on exhibition at the Mechanics Fair, valued
at Po0O, to be placed IN the county court house.
The statue will stand upon a marble pedestal,
and have suitable inscription, commemorative
of the liberality of the county, andthe gratitude
of the Society,"
Here, we of Nevada have also an opportunity
to become the banner county-or what is the
same thing-ef winning that statue It would
ornament our court house. Let us try for it,
