Our statement last week, to the

In consequence Of the cXorbitant
price asked for the fair grounds by
the Iowa County Agricultural So.
ciety, our people have been in n
quandary for the past week, ny to
where the depot should be located.
The Society wanted $1,000 per acre
for part, or $1,000 for the whole
19l acres. Monday the G. & N w.
Co. telegraphed, asking at what
price depot grounds could be pur-
chased. 4 paper was Immediately
circulated among our business men,
guaranteeing them depot grounds
at reasonable figure, whcreat our
citizens are now happy, hoping
that the difficulty has been AMIGA

barn (the old "Red Barn." known
10 all who travel on that road, TO-

tons Of hay. Suspicion seems to

there the night previous, asking
permission TO sleep in one Of the
out-houses, which was accorded,

was insured for $1,000, and the
other things were also insured for d
smaller amount, which will make
the loss quite small. At the time
Of the fire about so sheep thet were
