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
n more liberal Offering was made
than the mem bers of the committee
would have suggested.
All of which goes to prove tht
lively interest the business men o
A aberdeen are taking ia 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.
