WK notice that aimee a movement has been
started to organize the Union Park and Agricul-
tural Association in this place. that the project
is growing In much favor with the people on both
sides oftte rivef. sTha,pecple Of the lower rnd,
particularly, feel uch interested In regard 10 its
success, md alargs potion arc ready to Join at
once to make Il orc Of the best paying institu-
tions in the county. We see uoreason why fairs
in this county should not yieid as much to tbb
stockholders as they do IN other counties We
arc satisfied that ifimparti,tt opportunity is offer
cd to the citizens Of the lower end that the fair
of this association the coming season will not be
surpassed by any In tIo State, and all that IL re-
qured is 20 unite and choose officers who are
thorough business men, and IN whom the people
eau place confidence In regard to management.
We were lately informed by one Interested n the
Upper Dnuphin Fair at Millcrsburg, that d,i-
dcnd of "a ON each share of stock was declared
after having paid all the expenses of the build
ngs, premiums and other expenses. There Is no
reason why the same cannot be done here. az we
have many advantages over Milersbnrg, in the
location, &c. We would advise our agricultural
friends IN the lower end. to AT once connect them
selves with THE association for their benefit,
and help to solicit the officers with view to
making il success. We hope to see the people
throtshcut the county, interest themselves, so
that II full turn out on Monday next may be had.
Below we give the proceedings of a meeting
held on Thursday evening Cflast week.
