they VIII DO well TO remember mat II tney
accomplish what is expected of them, 1t will
be by hard work. There are a few working
members OF the Board who are always ready
to do their duty, and there are others who
are never ready to do anything. Petty
spites must be forgotten, and q man who
can cherish them is not qualified for the
position.
We have no idea who will constitute the
new Board Of Directors, but We hope they
will all be men of broad, liberal views, aud
practical, honest men. We suggest the pro-
priety of another t rinrt being made to make
this a district fair. II this can be accom-
plished. they can ofer u much larger prom
ium list, and also a few large premiums for
fast saddle and harness animals. which will
attract the fancy stock of The state, and will
add greatly to the interest of the fair. Let
US all determine to go 10 work, and make
our next fair an exposition that will add to
our credit abroad.
