Saturday there was another meeting OF tht
corporators of the Augusta County Agri
cultural Society-the largest, as said by the
secretary, that had ever been held. A serie;
of resolutions were adopted, and commit
tee appointed to carry them out. The reso
| buttons contemplate asking the corporat0rs
| to pay up what they owe and to forego fol
one year the admission privileges; asking
the City Council of Stanton and the super.
yisors Of the county to lay levy, as
authorized by a special act Of the Legisla-
ture, by which 81 500 may be raised and
given to the County Fair, to be expended In
premiums; putting the affairs of the Society
| in the hands Of commissioner TO straighten
up, ascertain financial condition, &C.; making
rules for guarding against the abuse OF cor.
porators' privilege OF admission by those who
decline surrenderng it., and soliciting per-
sons to whom premiums are now due, and
those who may take them next year, to sur
render them for the benefit Of the Society.
Mr.. j. Wayt Bell, who presided, ap-
pointed the committees to carry the resolu.
tons out. Several of the directors wanted to
resign 80 as to givean opportunity to elect
Others in their place if the corporators
