The Pierce Co. Ag,I Society.


As it is nearly time for the Annual
Meeting of this Society, brief review
of its operations il pertinent.
At the Annual Meeting in February
last, Ellsworth ChiIds, Esq, was elected
President; with Vice President from
each town, committees of award chosen,
and the Premium List prepared. Paine
Converse, Esq, Judge VIM. Howes, and
Lutte A. Taylor, were elected to the Off
ces of Treasurer, Rec. Secretary, and
Cor. Secretary. By the death of Mr..
Childs, Stephen Collins, Esq, became
President Of the Society, aud has acted
as such during the year.
In 1863, no Fair was held, and it was
with some doubt as to the result, that
the Executive Committee decided to hold
a Fair in the fall of 1864. The Fair
was held Sept. 22nd and 23d, and more
than fulfilled general expectation; being
exceeded in number of entries and gencr-
al interest By but one previous Fair. An
able Address was delivered by WIN. ].
COpp Esq, and an interest in the welfare
of the Society re-awakened.
The number Of entries was 2l2. The
Treasury of the Society now shows the
following exhibit:

Cash on hand last An
nual Meeting $4,000

To this add the slOO which will be re-
ceived from the State, aud it viii be seen
that the Society is in good pecuniary
condition.
Notice of the next Anuual Meet ing
will be seasonably given, and it is hoped
that the people of this, the Banner
County," will unite in making this Soci
ETY. one of the foremost in the State.
