What Our People Did.

To ascertain just where The pur-
chases were made, the subscriptions
were distributed according to the res
idence or property o. the subscribers.
The banks made daily report to the
committee, and noted where each sub
scription should be credited The var
ious townships and Abilene and Her
ington, were assigned quota on the
basis of the valuation of property,
exclusive of railroads and interstate
corporations. Only few townships
failed to reach their quota. II should
be explained that townships on the
edge Of the county, made some pur-
chases in banks outside the county.
While these were credited properly to
the county in which the bank was To-
Gated, we have secured from the
banks statements of the subscriptions
so far as possible and have credited
them to our people to make a com
plete showing of their patriotism. The
figures given are from Dickinson
county banks, railroads and such
banks outside as reported:
