Please allow me a
small space in your paper to explain
the seeming laxity and want of push
in the officers of the Brule County
Fair Co, and first allow me to say that
l question the justice in laying the
blame Of bad management altogether
to their charge. Were it a fact that
a point OF policy had been pointed
out BY the company and their SCR
wants, the officers, had failed to exc
cute it, then surely there would be
grounds for complaint; but please al
low me to ask those that appear to
see the great lack of efficiency in
their servants, have you eyer felt ~
terested enough in the enterprise 10
attend the meetings that have been
called and announced through the
papers and likewise by postal card;
if not could you reasonably suppose
that your unpaid servants would be
very enthusiastic in the enterprise?
When a mistake has been made it
may be quite easy to see where it
could have been remedied, and we
are frequently heard to call men IN

we have the benefit Of that mistake

But really what have you done aside
from finding fault? you cannot truth.

II portunity to be heard in this matter
there has been three well advertised

ith certainly think not. Allow me the
ler to urge upon the citizens Of Kimba
id, to look at this enterprise and eac
Of for him or herself to make the ia
SIS this year a success and a time

is late to start such an enterprise fl
