TAMA County FAlR.-The Direc-
tors of the Tama County Agricultur.
al Society met in the Court House
last Thursday, at l o'clock, at which
time two propositions concerning the
location of tho Fair Grounds were
submitted and considered. At the
meeting held Saturday, June 80, the
proposition made by the citizens Of
Toledo aud the north half of tho
county, and which provided for the
location of the Fair Grounds near
this place, was looked upon with
such favor that it was considered
adopted but then
1.-THE best laid schemes o mice and men
Gang aft aglee."
and thus the proposition, whose ac-
ceptance would have located the far
grounds north of Toledo fail
ed. This would have made the To-
cation decidedly the best in the coun.
ty, as it would have been far mo re
central than south Of lama City,
which is about eight miles south Of
the center of the county. The wise
men Of Tama held q meeting and
took measures to keep the fair at the
south side of the county, and at the
Directors meeting on Thursday, it
was decided to accept the PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. B. A. Hall.
Tho proposition submitted by Mr..
G. r. Struble, on behalf of Toledo
and the central and northern portion
of tho county was, in substance, as
follows Ito furnish sufficient half.
paid up stock to purchase ten acres
Of land, SO situated that ten addition
al acres lying adjacent could be leas-
ed or purchased on reasonable terms,
provided the fair ground be located
north of, and within one mile Of To.
ledo.
This proposition is tantamount to
purchasing, or furnishing stock sufi-
cient to purchase 20 acres for far
ground.
Mr.. B. A. Hall, Of lama City,
submitted q proposition to deed to
the Tama county Agricultural Socie.
ty, within five days, twenty six acres
Of ground now used by the society as
a fair ground, provided the Directors
OF the society locate the fair grounds
as now located. and provided further
that thirteen. hundred dollars new
stock be issued for the same.
The advocates of the two propo-
sitions argued at considerable length
the advantages that would arise from
the adoption Of the respective propo.
sitions. The argument waxed warm
at times, and a motion was finally
made to table both propositions, but
this move met with no favor. The
reader needs but to read the two
propositions, and look at a county
map, to see which OF the two should
have been adopted. The following
resolution was offered by the Secre-
tary, J. II. Hollan:
Resolrsd- tho written propo.
sitlon Of B. A. Hall, made this day,
in proposing to deed twenty six
acres Of land to the lama County
Agricultural Society be accepted.
After much quibbling the resolu.
ton prevailed. The meeting then
adjourned.
