LOCAL HISTORY REPORT.

Alter MS return on the 4Iu' wv
compiler OF the proposed county
history put in about ten days IN IN.
dexing and arranging the mass OF
material already collected. tie IS
now out on short tour through
the county.
The RECORDER has reprinted in
two sections a circular intended for
mailing purposes. When the COM
piIer gets back to town he expects
to be in receipt of a two-page leaf
let showing the size of book page
the style of type, and the quality
of paper. The two leaflets will be
mailed together.
With each letter sent out will be
certain questions on matters ottam-
lily and local history. Each person
receiving these is respectfully asked
to give them prompt attention and
in doing so to observe the instruc-
tons found in one of the circulars.
BY answering the questions and
sending in the results at the earliest
possible moment, the compiler VII
then at once be in possession OF all
the rest of the information which it
is necessary for our people to fur
nish. If he were to collect this by
going from house to house, there
would be no possibility of getting
the history ready for another win
ter's reading. He could not do all
this amount of field work any way,
owing to a partial disability of his
feet. There is, of course a certain
advantage in coming in personal
touch with thepersons who have in
formation to give, but on the 9TH
er hand, the written inquiries give
people time to collect their thoughts
aud turn in still better results.
1t should be a matter of self-ln-
terest to our people that every one
of these letters be answered.. A
failure in even a few instances
would diminish the completeness
of the book in some particular re
spect, and the fault would not be
on the side of the author. Thor
oughness and strict impartiality are
kept in view by him in every fea-
ture of the book.
Also, every friend of the enter
prise will at the same time fill out
and send in his subscription. The
circular explains this matter very
fully, and shows that the advance
subscription plan is the only way OF
getting the book out at all. The
compiler cannot solicit the orders
by a personal canvass, and the
more of our people who give in
their orders voluntarily, the easier
it will be to gather up the rest OF
the orders necessary in order to
have the book written and printed
This cannot proceed until a certain
number of of orders is collected,
and the sooner they are in the soon
er the book can appear.
Several of our families have been
resident in this county 165 years
For such great length of time it
takes close and careful work to
present a continuous sketch of the
history of such families. 1t is hard
enough now and in a few more
years it would become all but i'm
possible. Many curious and very
interesting facts are being brought
to light in the investigation going
on, and these are to appear in the
book. Yet the history also deals
with the present andfuture of High
land county, and to the outside
world it will be standing adver-
tisement of great value.

In the purchase of a new horse

Don't keep your horse in an
