Agricultural Fair.

It isa standing disgrace to the
people Of Wapello county that they
havenot the spirit or harmony among
them to maintain a County Agricul.
tural Society.
A Few wears ago they had r,agnifi-
cent grounds, well fenced, and gave
exhibitions that would have been
croditable a. State Fairs, but a fcud
arose between certain managers of it
in the county and in the town, and
the whole thing went to pot, result
ing In the selling Of the grounds and
the abandonment of Agricultural
Fairs in the county, FOR eight or ten
years past, during which time the
agricultural spirit of the county has
been languishing and dying out.
There is being an attempt now
made to revive or re.organize tho
Wapello County Agricultural Society
which can be made success only by
all the people of the county, aiding
it promptly and literally with means
and articles on exhibition whe, the
Fair comes off.
An attempt was made by the Di.
reotors ofthe new movement, to lease
the grounds of the Ottumwa Driving
Park Association to hold the Fair
in, but which failed on account Of
what the farmers regarded as exhor.
bitant rent asked. We regard thif
failure as unfortunate for the success.
full Inauguration of a County Fair this
fall. These grounds are already com
pleted to hand, and in all their ar
rangements are confessedly the bes,
in Southern Iowa, and if the foolish
animosities existing between certain
parties in the town,and county, coulc
be yet harmonized, and one good biz
successful County or District Fail
be held, it would bridge over oil thes,
difficulties, and put the Society OF
such firm basis as to enable it Il
buy grounds OF their own directly
and go on from year to year withou
trouble.
We own no stock in the Drivin,
Park Association, and are strict,
neutral in this fight, that seems to b
kept up for tho sole purpose of slay
ing both the County Agricultural Sc
ciety and the Park Association, an,
only write this much to suggest to al
parties concerned, the indispensable
necessity Of harmony as a prelimina
ry to success.
We are told that the Park Assoc
alton are ready to meet the Count,
Agricultural Society half way in com
promising these difficulties, and W
earnestly hope that at the next NEE,
ing. July 18th, earnest men 1ror
town and county, and all interested
will meet at the Court House for tn
purpose ofburying forever the hatch
ct, and going to work to inaugnras
one ofthe best Agricultural societie
in the State, which can only be don
by all the people, irrespective of 10
calities and interests, uniting on thi
one common object, and forever con
signing to oblivion whatever ofpett,
feeling may have heretofore existed
among people whose interests il
this matter, as well as all others ar
mutual.
