What Will Custer do P

Since it is known that all Of the lead
ing towns Of the Northern Hills are per
fecting the preliminary arrangements
for representation ut the Trans ississ.

portant question arises, what will Custer
do? This is a very important matter,
and should enlist the earnest attention
of our citizens. The Black Hills COM
missioner, Mr.. j. p. ITymer, Of Dead
wood is doing very effective work in
Lawrence county. having held public
meetings in all of the principal towns,
at all of which much interest was mani
tested, and in a communication recently
addressed to the CHRONICLE, he express

at the exposition, and also his willing
ness to do every thing in his power to
that end. lie has arranged for a meet.

ing Of a meeting of our citizens to be
held 500 after June S;h, for the pur-
pose Of taking the necessary steps in the
direction indicated, at which he will be
present, if notified, and aid in getting
the matter started. This matter, by
reason Of its important character, should
receive early attention, and the CHRoN-
rcLE earnestly hopes it may not be over
looked, or long delayed, as the benefits
to be derived from Il crcdi.able exhibit
can scarcely be over estimated as a
medium of advertising our resources,
inasmuch as it will attract the attention
of capitalists from all parts of the world,
many Of whom will visit the Hills on
excursions during the exposition. Who
will take the indicative in this Impor-
tant movement?
