We wish to state to the good people of
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for. but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with which to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity of the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist us. This is q public %institu-
ton by which all will be benefited, and in
which all should feel an interest.
