IOreA SOOQ meeLln& TINS year.
The people are prosperous and with
the assurance Of q splendid crop Of
corn. since the recent rains, everyone
should make it : point to attend the
meeting. not only for the purpose Of
meeting old friends and living over.
for the time being. the early expert
ences Of the country, but to express
our satisfaction with the splendid
showing made in the way Of crops this
year In Crawford county and the gem
Seral prosperity which prevails in the
community.
There is 9 feeling that we have not
made Of this occasion what we should
In the past. Other counties are
able to secure a largef attend
ance than this county, and we be.
.lieve this fact can be accounted for
because Of greater interest mani
tested and effort put forth. The home
coming IN many localities is the great
event Of the year and 1t should be
IN this county, and 1t can readily be
made SO II our business men and 9TH
ers will take hold Of 1t with the idea
of making It q great occasion.
The thought Of how much profit
there is ip Al irg 4 cotpnsercial sepse
for ~ q uld not rs y controi-
ing considerati zion. The Interest dis
played in making the occasion sue
cess should not be Influenced at ali
BY the thought that incidentally it
viii help to increase trade in any or
all lines ON that day.
The interest should be founded upon
desire to increase friendships. to
bring communities closer together, to
create better feeling, to take by the
hand the pioneers who settled and aid
ed SO much in the development. of the
county. These should be the consid.
erations to encourage everyone to con
tribute their efforts to make the oc-
casion success.
What we desire this year Is an out
pouring Of all the people to come to
Denison on the 9th Of September and
spend the day in visiting, enjoying
amusements and listening to addresses
Of those who may be upon the pro:
gram.
Prizes are to be offered for the hand
somest babies not over one year OF
age, born in Crawford county, whose
parents were also born in the county.
$3.50 first prize, $3.50 second prize
and $500 third prize.
A bail game between clubs in this
county will be another feature.
There will be music and other at:
fractions which the committee will
decide upon later.
As the meeting is on Friday we
think it desirable that the public
schools close at noon in order that
children Of the county may attend.
We suggest to the vice-presidents OF
the various localities in the county to
advertise the home coming and tc
bring delegations to the picnic.
sssssc., n;,fac, ,,,a : is on Friday we
think eos.peJ table that the
public schcOiJ at noon on
that day in order that the children OF
the county may attend.
We hope the merchants. especially
IN Denison. will dignity the occasion
BY closing their places of business
for at least a portion Of the after
noon, say from one to four O'Clock, in
order that the proprietors and the heir
may be able to attend for that length
Of time.
To make the occasion, what we
should we can afford to make at little
sacrifice and we will all feel better
'9on account Of It.
