Don't forget the "bec," to clear the
Fair Ground, next Saturday. Let all
lend helping hand who are able, and
give one good days work for the BEN
Gift of the Society. The enterprise is
now in its infancy, and hard work will
be necessary to produce even slow
growth. Having too much faith i'm the
public spirit of the people of the coun-
ty to doubt their bility and willing
ness to carry out this matter success
fully, we expect to see it go forward,
till Lake County Agricultural Society
can take its place among the best or
CARNATIONS i'm the State.
Elsewhere i'm this issue we publish
the list of premiums to be awarded at
the coming Second Annual Fair of
Lake County Agricultural Society. 1t
doubtless looks small, to many eyes,

with lists of older Societies. But it
must be remembered that we are only
just starting out i'm this enterprise i'm
Lake county, that our citizens gener-
ally are not as wealthy as those in OLD
or settled counties. Having but little
means at its disposal, the Society aims
as far as possible to keep within safe
limits i'm its financial matters. Enough
has been promised and paid in to ell
sure the making the first payment OH
the land, and to carry out the plan of
erecting a building thisycar. We trust
that those who havcgivcn their note
to the Society will be prompt i'm fulfil
ing their obligations, and that many
more i'm our county, who have not as
yet lent helping hand, will speedily
enroll themselves as members, and
give all the assistance In their power
to- carry forward so desirable II public
enterprise.
