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 10
this fund. and in no instance did
: the committee seek to persuade men
to contribute. In almost every case
more liberal offering was made
than the members of the committee
! would have suggested.
All of which goes to prove the
lively interest the business men of
Aberdeen are taking lin the pro-
gress of the Farmers of the county.
and their willingness to co operate
with and encourage the farmer in
making our county, self-supporting.
Respectfully.
