skipped oat and lefi the Job without max

called for 500 as soon as 3j3 feet Of the

placed cap on the well, and il is in good
SHADE for somebody to complete easily.
Mr.. X. further says about half of the work
has been done on the well, which has cost
nothing but the tubing.

LEND A HELPING HAND,


Next week the Hand County Agricul-
tural Society will give its fourth exhibit
Every citizen Of the county should be iu-
terested. because the fair is an exhibit OF
Hand countys products. gotten up co
pecisliy for you. The crop exhibit may
fall short Of previous years. but that
should be an inducement to each and
every one to bring something to help out
the show. Hand county's stock is second
to none in the state and deserves full
representation. By little concentrated
effort and enthusiasm among all the peo-
pie We can have good fair, profitable by
comparison Of products, and . pleasure
by associa iug and meeting of friends and
aeighbors all over the country.
Every business man in Miller should
feel 1t his duty to make an exhibit at the
fair. OF course it is q little trouble, but
suppose each and every one refrained
from helping to make fair because 10 Is
little trouble? There would be no fair;
the people Of the county would have no
occasion 20 come to Miller in large num-
bers, for both profit and pleasure; and the
business men would be losers thereby.
We grant that each individual knows his
own business best, but as one of the ele-
ments, one of tue parts that 20 to make
up the whole town, il seems to the PRESS
that the call Of individual duty, where
the common interests of the entire town
are so manifestly plain, is sufficiently
strong to interest every business man in
forwarding the success Of this county en-
tsrprise. The people Of Hand county
look to the citizens OF Miller largely TO
make this annual mesting success, and
it is responsibility no individual mem.
ber Of the community should shirk.
Lend a helping hand.
