In 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 to
this fund. and in no instance did
the committee seek to persuade men
to contribute. In almost every case
a more liberal Offering was made
than the members OF the committee
would haye suggested.
All Of which goes to prove the
; lively interest the business men ol
Aberdeen are taking in the pro.
gress of the Farmers of the county,
and their Willingness to cooperate
with and encourage the farmer in
making our county self-supporting
1 Respectfully.
