1t is a great mistake, to think that
Portage County's Agricultural Society
consists of only twelve Directors, a
Secretary and Treasurer. There are
Six Hundred and Ten Members whose duty
it is to work for the Fair just as much
as the officers. OF course you will be
on hand for the Fair yourselves, and
your exhibits; but you should look
around you, also, and if your neighbor
has something extra nice, and does
not intend to take 1t to the Fair, try
and convince him it is his duty to bring
it along 6IO can do more than IA. 8lU
