If any lawyer, merchant, mechanic
or other citizen, looking over this list,
fails to find hs name, let him remem-
Der that there is yet time to assist ac-
cording to his ability in the up-build-
ing OF his county. While the fair will
be of undoubted benefit 10 the city, the
farmers OF the county may very well
be impressed that it i, an agricultural
and stock fair and that the
greatest benefit will inurc to the
farmer. II there is any man left in
Laurens county who fancics that there
is any feeling against the country by
town people, and we do not believe
that there Is. let him reilt CT upon these
liberal contributions made by the busi-
ness men Of the city, largely for the
promotion Of farmers interests. There
is time yet for all to contribute. Let
there be no omissions on any account
