The fremen have Incorporated the
stock show with the Mai-fest at the
earnest solicitation of number of
the prominent farmers and stock
raisers of this and adjoining coun-
ties. 1t is matter of great impor-

feature should be made a success of.
A committee of citizens has been al
ready appointed to solicit contribu-
tons, every dollar of which will be
spent in offering premiums in the
stock exhibit. 1t is to be hoped that
our business men Will respond liber-
ally to this call. The success of this
feature will necessarily depend large

premiums offered, and if sufficient
inducements in that direction are
offered, it is believed that an exhibit
Of stock will be made that will be
credit to our county, and that will
rebound immensely to the future
profit of all our DeODle
