PERFORMING LAUDABLE FEN
 TERPRISE.

It cannot be said that any pie. lures which may appear in our Souvenir are there from the vain. glorionsness of our patrons. They have been given under the most persuasive inducements of which our vocabulary was capable. and entirely with a liberal view ol patronizing a laudable home en, terprise which has tor it's sole ob' ject the placing of this county in Its proper sphere before an inquir. ing public.
 And although promised photo graphs have been coming in more rapidly this week, even these ex' cellent reasons have so far failed to overcome the modesty of several prominent citizens, and we are now st loss to know just how to convince them of the great value of their portraits and other pie. lures to work of this character which is solely tor the purpose of advertising our common country.
 Other communities all around and about us have issued or are preparing to issue some such ad. vertising matter, and if we expect to profit by the coming into our midst of the very best class of homeseekers, we must not permit a mere question of modesty to de. ter us in the dissemination of high class modern literature from which they may be induced to locate here.
 We have secured orders for up. wards of l50 pictures. We want to make it 200. Will you help by contributing your mite? Please do, and we promise you, you will never regret it.
