I have: been asked by.. many, citizens arid scholars if I would make' a Moyel in the: matter, and as a friend of the boys: and girls I have taken the 1i�blerty of asking a: number of citizens to act on a' committee for this purpose and thro-'' the column of your paper to amle the people of Clinton for their help and encouragement • for one of the• best kind, of an affair that could pos- sibly be held, when' so much pleasure and ,profit would result, Ho'w+ big and extensive it can .be made will depend on how liberal the contributions will be from the people. Last year the merchants• gave all the prices and gavo them wlllicrigly, but 'it is not fair to expect tl`i'ese people to do it all, when all the citizens should share in , the matter. Nearly all have children; if net, they should have; and 0 they have not they can make some one else's children happy, by giving a prize br money, Mr. V. R.

Give it will- ingly and give it quiekly, and give•the committee all the help you east. No one is making nny money out of it, No money goes out of town. It all goes to the children.
