—The following resolution was carried unanimously at the public meeting held at Alberton on the Srd inst. .—
Whereas, The people west of Lot 13, a large half of the County, owing to the great dis- tance which separates them from Summerside have reaped little if any advantage from the large grants made yearly by the Government for the purpose of exhibitions in Prince Co.; and }
Whereas, Said grants are admittedly made with a view to the improvement of our farm- ing and stock raising industries by stimulat- ing farmers ta greater ¢llorts an‘ bringing backward settlements within the influence of the example of the more progressive parts of the Provine?; and
Whereas, In no portion of the Island such encouragement is more required than in the far West, where agriculture does not receive anything like the attention it deserves, and when the heavy fares by rail and the long dis- tance to Summerside place us without the in- fiyenceithes — are calculated to gener-
i refore er That a humble petition be pre: sented to Parliament praying for the proper consideration of our interests by holding the Priace County Faic at Alberton or some part of the Western end of the County every other year, or every third year; and futher 7
Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Stock Farm be asked to dispose of a portion of Prince County’s vearly draught of stock in Alberton, so that the standard of wester3 breeding be thereby elevated and the people receive their just share of the benefits such action would surely bring about.
