ORGANIZE.

The time has arrived-in fact did long
ago for an active Organization OF the
business men OF Miller. first, tobe followed
later by cooperative organization
thro ughout the county. But never be-
fore was the time more ripe than DOW.
Those who intend to remain here to
make this their homes, and we believe
that We haye now reached that point of
experience. knowiedge OF the country,
and prospective prosperity which insures
the permanency OF nearly aIl-certainly
desire to see the county settled and de-
yeloped. This may be accepted as an es-
tablished fact Now the question arises
how are We going to increase the settle
ment and heighten the development OF
this our home. Many questions are
analogous to a nd have more or less con
nectiop with this proposition.
THE FIRST THING NECESSARY
for settlement and DEVELOPMENT Of any
couutryhs for some one to have conf
6euce in that country and it's rossibtli-
ties.
The changes experienced here the past
two years, aud direct comparisons be.
tween this and other states. obtained by
the actual experience of our former citi-
zens who have either returned here or
want TO. has established q better. frmer
confidence in the present aud prospective
advantages of Hand county.
THAN EVER EXISTED BEFORE
"a the minds Of all those living here.
Sc, the force OF circumstances. the log
&c OF the situation, conditions created by
the natural course OF events, without
stimulation, have accomplished the fret
thibg Decessary for the settlement and
development OF Hand county's fertile
plains. viz: Creation OF q strong conf :
dence in the winds OF our people that
this is heslthy. agreeable, profitable
place to make their home.
row THE NEXT THING NECESSARY
is 10 manifest this confidence in every
way possible by deyeiopment OF our
properties as fast as reason and our
means will permit Of, the encouragement
of enterprise and advancement in moral,
intellectual and material things, and til,
iMPARTIYG OF THAT CONFIDENCE TO oTB
RRs who may be induced to assist us ir
tins grandest work Of man.
As to this development within our.
selves, 1t is progressing splendidly, even
remarkably, when all thiags are consider
sd-and with the growing conhdenc,
manifest on every hand it will greatly in
crease in the immediate future.
As to imparting OF this confidence to
others and inducing them to assist us. IL
must be solely the voluntary act OF ou
own citizens, backed by enthusiasm ant
determination. And to accomplish thi
intelliRentiy and effectively We must us,
persistsLcy that would seem unnecss
sary In the minds Of some persons no
wholly acquainted with the obstacles ",
hsve to overcome. This arises from Oh,
Fact that We. who know. view this coun
try In
AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LfsHf
from that In which II 10 held by people
OF other comm unities. Hence to impari
our confidence to others We must implan,
In their minds the actual knowledge ",
possess In place Of the imaginstions and
pretudices they now entertain.

here ~hat opinions the people Of neigh
buring states have Of this coustfy. IN,
