The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1852-01-28
For the Sentinel and Farmer
Agricultural Meeting.

n meetnS oil the board OF Managers.
and others interested in the Harrison Coun-
ty Agricultural Society, was held in Cadiz on
the 10Th of LIST month, (January) 1859.
The President being absent Stewart Shot
well was called to the Chair.
The Committee appointed to meet Dele
gates from the adjoining counties of Belmont
and Jefferson, in relation to procuring a tent,
to be the joint property of the three socie-
ties, for the purpose of holding their Fairs
in, report that they met according to agree
ment, but the delegates from the other soci-
cites failed TO meet them, and they had heard
indirectly that the Belmont Society proposed
building 3 wooden house, or shed, for their
purpose.
Thus the idea of procuring a tent, as above
stated, being apparently frustrated, the COM
mlttce made an estimate of the probable cost
Of a wooden building, such as would answer
our purpose, and are of opinion that a build
ing 400 feet long by 25 feet wide, and 8 feet
high, covered and weather boarded with
pine boards, would cost about 5000 that
three tables, each 100 feet long, one of which
TO be 5 feet wide, and placed in the centre
Of the building, the other two to be 3. feet
wide, and placed on each side of the large
one, would cost about $25. That the build
ing and tables would cost about SQ25.
Further, that to fence in an acre LOT, with
Il close board fence 8 feet high, would prob
ably cost about $l35, and that a citizen of
Cadiz had offered to lease a lot for the pur
pose without charge, he to have the use of
the lot, except when needed by the Society.
Thus it will be seen that for about $500
the Society may have>a permanent fixture,
that will reflect credit on them and upon the
county.
The committee further report that they
have had reports from the committee to raise
funds only from the townships Of Cadiz and
Short Creek, that Cadiz had subscribed $50
and Short Greek 1877. Thus, it will be seen,
that according to the resolution of last meet
, ing, Cadiz is entitled to the next Fair,
On motion agreed that the committee to
