Yours truly,
DR.. G. W. Hilton, of Paris, Michi-
gan, a Hillsboro boy who is doing well
IN. his chosen field, says that be hopes
very much to be present, and will
unless an extreme rush of business at
this time prevent.
Many of the young men around the

now OF Colorado Springs. A post
card from him says:
'I will be there for the celebration,
and would like to see a few old timers,
whose names put on the other side"
These names on the other side are,
first, and grouped together, Oats
McKeehan and Jim Campbell, also
Matt Jenkins, John Dokes, Amos
Medley, Olph Doggett, and any other
of my class of 1875 or before.

HILLsBoRo, o., Aug. q, 1907.
Dear Sir: There can be no que stion
now but that the Highland County
Home Coming will bring back to
Hillsboro, and Highland County more
Ex-Highlanders than any of us, even
the most hopeful, anticipated
With such representation present,
1t certainly appeals to every resident
of the County to arrange to meet
them with an appropriate crowd and
in a proper manner, and thus inoi
cate our appreciation of their sojourn
in our midst.
For the purpose of aiding in secur-

lone loving spirit of the present
'esidents must and will not allow any
election to be cast on the visitors or

Let the crowd be the greatest In

'eople of a splendid program, and
hat there will not be an uninterest-
ng moment In either day.
Advise us If we can help you in any
vay.
We understand 1t will take a little
