The two important questions be-
fore the Commercial Club Tuesday
evening were the Precinct Fair and
the consideration of ways and means
of bettering the market for farm
ers' produce. Besides the town mem
bers, number of farmers from the
bench were present and took an ac-
tive part in the deliberations, a
mong them being H. L. Fest, w. L..
Shane, A. Shorten and Charles Kes-
ter.
As to the fair, it was unanimously
decided to make this years bigger
and better than ever. The men
who had charge last year and who
were the main factors in making
a showing that attracted attention
at both county and state fairs, will
again be at the head, and they ask
for the united support of everyone
in the Emmett ountry-farmer, or
chardist, stockman and town citi-
zen. With that the resources of the
Emmet country will reap greater
honors
A finance committee, consisting of
Finley Monroe, John McNish, T. B.
Hargus, J. D. Orr, V. T. Craig, r.
B. Shaw and B. B. Davis, was ap-
pointed to solicit funds.

 These as I recall them, and from such information as have been able to obtaln from many of the older inhabit1nts now living, are very imperfect renin n,steuces of the old time Canaan as it was during the nineteenth and a part of the eigh- tsenth centuries. AS have continued thinking and writing, I have discovered that failed to recall many things that might have been of interest, when too late to insert them. I have also discov- cred that have made few slight mis- takes when too late to rectlfy them but l have aimed to be plain and correct in all my statements, and if there have been some omissions and errors 1t has not been intentional, and if by reason of lnter-marriage in the different families l have repeated names, think may be pardoned, seeing am writing at so late date and at such an advanced age.
 And now MT. Editor, will close these articles by again thanking you for your patience and thousand times thanking the many who have contributed so much information that has enabled me to make these articles more nearly correct and more interesting, and if it has gwen even few of The News readers half the pleasure in reading these articles that it has given me in thinking and writing them up, shall feel repaid for all the time and effortit has cost me in perform ing the task.
