Two hundred dollars with hired help could not havo accomplished what was done by volunteer workers ut the fair grounds last Monday. Thnt Is a conservative esllmata placed upon it by Mr. McDonnld who wan In rhargo. Lawyers, doctors,, pronchors, school teachers, news pnper mon, surveyors, carpenters, store koepcrs, bankers and the ladlei all workod togothcr with most gratfylug' results. It has been sug gested that Tbo Tlmcs-Hcrald give a Hat of thoao who took part In this work, but not having madu notntloa of those present and, In fact, not knowing positively who were down thero, wo refrain form giving names, because it Is almost auro somo one would bo overlooked. Wo will say that many who wero down and gave' such oxcollont help would not ro cuivo ono bit of bonofit from holding a county fair other than in a general way somo having absolutely no In terest In tho town or country, but merely did It becauso of their inter est In public spirited movements. Thoro wero soma who should, havu been thero who, wero not represent ed business concerns that will renp n direct benefit from holding the fair. Theno people should not let such a circumstance occur again at It rullectrt upon thum and may cauro them to Iono patronago and friend ships. Tho writer knows of ono In stance whero a professional man. who could not possibly get down to help becauso of urgent buslnes.i de-, niainllng his Immediate attention, having hired an exporlenced work man to roprcsont him. Th's man ran derive no possible boneflt from a pecuniary standpoint from holding a fair 'but It shows his spirit. This . Is to the shame of business ennenrnt that will derive benefit who dirt not respond at all.
