on this list was subscribed principally
by citizens OF the town. The parties who
are soliciting in The country are meeting

stockholders circuhting in the country
which, we are told are being literally
signed. The Clin.0A and Columbus see
lions are taking a5tive interest in favor

addition, the removal Of the Fair will be
construed as a failure of the town. OF
