While it is desirable that the society should be placed upon a self-sustaining basis, yet we would.deplore the day when it would be converted into a money-making corporation. It should have a higher aim than this. Its grandest purpose should be the elevation of our different callings, the higher education of our farmers and artisans, the placing of our community in the forefront of advancement, the stimulating of the spirit of improvement in all who come in contact with it. To do these things it is necessary to have the earnest co-operation of every stockholder. Will it be given, or will it be withheld? It is for you to say whether success or failure attend its future existence. Respectfully submitted, CLAYTON CONROW, President.
