A Valuable Work.

A corps of writer's has begun the
collection of data for a work to be en-
titled "A Portrait and Biographical
Album of Dickinson and Geary cOun-
ties" which will contain full and well
written biographical records of all the
representative citizens of this county.
Especially will the veteran soldiers and
old settlers be searched out and the
history of their life's work made up
while they are yet with US tOfurnish the
complete story. A number of COM
petent men will be sent here and efforts
made to find out every citizen whose
ancestry and personal history is worthy
of record, so that coming generations
may have an authentic history of their
forefathers. The labor will be great,
but by each one giving the gentlemen
engaged in it courteous reception and
aiding them cheerfully in their re
searches, the result can be made some
thing for each to be proud of. The
publishers, Chapman Bros, come high
Iy endorsed by press and people in 10
calities where they have published
similar works, and we ask for their re-
representatives. a respectful hearing.
