Feilop Citizens of Nevada Cosnty:-ons Of
the most important duties Of the citizens Of
California, is to develop and bring to Dsrfss-
ton the resources of our State. There is no
one State in the Union where there ID gathered
such n variety of the fruits Of the earth, the
produce Of our own soil, ~ in California. Ma
turs has been bountiful indeed 70 this favored
land; for with the products Of the temperate
zones, are raised side BY side many Of those Of
the tropics. 1t is . land literally Vt fruits and
flowers. We have within our borders the sIs-
msnt. Of nation. Besides its mineral wealth,
boundless as it is, s,our horal and agricultural ca
pacity cannot be sxcelled; and our genial eli;
mate is perfectly adapted TO the wants and
propagation Of animal life of the useful kind
and it depends upon ourselves whether We will
develop and bring to perfection, these elements
of true greatness or not. Plainly it is our du-
| ty to do so in all proper ways, and while the
subject is occupying the attention of many
other counties in the State, l am unwilling to
have Nevada pass without exhibiting something
of her own resources, confident as am that
she will bear a favorable comparison in agri-
cultural and mining capabilities with the most
| favored mountain counties in the State.
1t is for the purpose Of bringing to the pub.
lie inspection, and of concentrating knoWl
edge of our own resources, that the State Agri-
cultural Society is formed. 1t is the object o.
this Society, rs declared in its constitutions
laws, to encourage the cultivation of the soil
and the general development of all agriculture
resources of the State"
"To foster every branch Of mechanical anC
household art, calculated to increase the hap
piness and home of lfe."
"To extend and facilitate the various branch
es of mining and mining interest
Surely Nevada is behind county in th'
State in the aggregate Of its general capabili
ties, which for intelligence, for industry, TO
machinery and its application, for inventive
genius, and for perseverance we yield the pain
to none.
Shall we not then, fellow citizens, be seel
and heard from at the next State Fair ! Shal
we not have a niche in the Exhibition Rosn
dedicated to the products of Nevada which shall
reflect honor to our beloved county?
Letevery farmer, every miner, every mechani
and gardiner, every lady with her beautiful han
diwork, respond with telling Aye! And lie
old Nevada become the banner county of th
mountains, if not of the State.
In order to insure the success of the Society
to pay the premiums to successful candidates,
fund is necessary. This is raised by an inita
tion fee of ten dollars, and if they desire
continue members, they can do so by "contrib
uting five dollars annually thereafter" Scctio
four says Any citizen being member of thi
t Society shall be eligible to office, entitled t
, vote, receive a certificate of membership, and
printed copy of the constitution, and such othe
matter as the Society shall publish-shall enjo
the free use of the library, under the rules of tn
same, and have free admission, accompanied b
two ladies' to all Exhibitions of the Society, an
