them, and have an organization that
will prepare and exhibit them at
both the county and state fair to
show the people what we have.
have in mind seven actual settlers
in Villas county who have come direct
ly from our exhibit at the state fair.
These seven settlers alone will in time
pay back in taxes all the money that
Villas county has expended in max
ing the exhibits. Now is the time
to settle up our county; people are
going to the land. The county board
of Oneida county has appropriated
ST., 200 for advertising space in the
Cleveland Magazine. The object of
this appropriation is to advertise their
cut over lands among the western
sheep and cattle men, with a view of
getting them to Oneida county to
purchase and develop their cut over
lands into paying stock. farms. Iron
county, on our west, has appropri-
ated large amount of money for
similar advertising. Counties all
around us are doing this, and are
successfully getting in large herds of
sheep and cattle. The Milwaukee
Association of Commerce has taken up
this good work, and are advertising
and working with the land owners
to bunch up their lands so that they
can get in real herds of sheep and
cattle. Why should we be the last
one to progressP The advertising of
one land company has brought into
Villas comfy during the past four
years 1877 families of actual settlers to
the vicinity of Eagle River. Villas
county with one-half the advertising
in the next four years could bring in
500 additional settlers. Can we afford
to pass up this opportunityP The
Villas County Agricultural Society
has done phenomenal work with the
support it has had. They have es-
tablished the county fair, which has
been a success beyond all expecta-
tons. They have pow purchased a
10-acre tract of land favorably located
for fair purposes. and they need the
support of not only the county board
but of each individual residing within
the county. Let every man or woman
in Villas county who is interested in
the welfare and the upbuilding of the
county send in their membership OF
$100 to G. H. Wiegand, treasurer,
and become a member of the Villas
County Agricultural Society. After
this is done make it your duty to
attend the meetings of the society.
Instead of holding the meetings in
one small room, let's hold it in the
Court House and fill it full. Let's

Another job involving an even
