The exhibits were all in cases and
many we're artistically and carefully ar
ranged. Mr.. j. w. Ferguson has spent
several weeks in packing the exhibit and
he feels satisfied it will reach its desti-
nation in first-class shape.
A special meeting of the County Com
missioners is called for the 22nd inst, for
the purpose of considering how much
money will be appropriated for the Mid
winter Fair fund. 1t is thought $500
will be the amount if the county fund
will stand it and it car possibly be done.
Another very worthy matter will come
up before the Board at this meeting. 1t
is a proposition to call Tor bids for the
furnishing of an outline map of Churchill
county, said map to show the location of
the mountains, valleys, water courses,
cultivated and uncultivated lands,
land that is open for settlement,
etc. If a sufficient number OF such out
line maps can be had at a cost not to
exceed $500, the proposition will meet
with general favor, however the matter
will be definitely settled by the bids
which reach the Board of Commission
ers. The DISPATCH commends this
move very heartily as it takes great
interest in the sturdy little county and
wishes to see it prosper. These is no
doubt hat Churchill county is last COM
ing to a realization of the fact that its
growth has been retarded in the past
by some of its fossils talking and acting
against having any new settlers in
that district. Such talk and such
action are caused by selfish motives,
They belong to Silurians and Mossbacks
who must give way to the men Of action.
AucIo are SOulc LuOuSdIluS VI acres Vi
rich land in Churchill which must yield
up its treasures to the hardy sons of toll.
The people of that community must in
vlte settlers if they wish to have the iron
horse snorting through the valleys. We
teel satisfied that a community twice as
large as exists there today, were it as
prosperous as the present one, and it
should be more so, would be the means
OF inviting a railroad to that vicinity.
We are pleased to hear that one OF the
largest land holders in Churchill county
Is In favor of taking urgent measures to
to induce settlers to come into the
county and the wisdom of such measures
will become patent as soon as they are
taken.
Prompt Settlement.
