DIR. StayGan stated briefly the object Of

unity OF feeling among the people OF the
county in regard to the fair, and that al
ready it was an assured success-the wealth
er clerk of course, permitting. He moved.
therefore. that the date for the opening of
the fair be fixed at the 18th oil October.
to continue four days.
Doctor Sinks moved to amend this: mo-
ton, by changing the date to the 18th, as
week later would bring it uncomfortable
close 10 the winter season.
