I'm behalf of the committee whose
duty it was to solicit prizes, | wish
to state that these very liberal con-
tributions were made voluntarily
by the business men of Aberdeen
In no instance was any argument
made as to why they should give tc
this fund. and in no instance die
the committee seek to persuade meT
to contribute. In almost every case
more liberal offering was made
than the mem bers of the committee
would haye suggested.
All of which goes to prove the
| lively interest the business men oi
Aberdeen are taking in the pro.
gress of the Farmers Of the county
and their willingness to cooperate
with and encourage the farmer il
making our county self-supporting
Respectfully.
