|bestc corn cutivator made, and so that the winner will be satisfied, he will be
|given an order tx purchase any make that he desires after the determine
ton of the contest. This cultivator is to be given by ballot Of the farmers Of
Lincoln county to the best farmer in the county, each voter to be sole judge
of the qualifications necessary fol- a good farmer. The different townships
are requested to caucus and nominate ONE farmer in the township as its
candidate. LII is requested and much desired that these nominations take
place not later that the 18th of June andthat the nomination be filed with
the secretary of the association not later than Saturday, June 10, nomina-
|tons o be filed with Chas. L. Kundert, Acting Secretary at the county aud
president and secretary of the township caucus. All candidates must be- dual
farmers of the county and car be owners or tenants. On June 2 from 9
O'Clock in the moningunti 400 lin the afternoon the polls will be open at the
secretarys tent in the court house square in Canton for registering the votes

that he is IT nearly as soon asthe voting is finished. Blank ballot forms
will be furnished. One candidate from each township and the whole county
votes it Off This la contest that will be of great interest wherever the
news of its spreads and it is more honorable to b voted the best farmer In

township should caucus Immediately and their candidate before the people
of the county so that his merits may be studied by those who have to vote to
decide the matter. This is a good prize and a grand victory to the winner;
for the question of who is the best farmer In the county has perhaps inter
esed the mind of every resident Of it.
