The stockholders comprise the very best and
most substantial and representative citizens oil
Leon county, among them many who are moi
given to investments which are not likely to pay
and II h safe 20 conclude that in subscribing to
the capital stock of the Association they have
not overestimated Its prospective value The
great bulk OF Improvement Of the grounds having
been already accomplished, continuation of the
success In management and results which has 90
far been % conspicuously demonstrated, will not
fail to YIELD in the near future, the most substan-
tial results to the stockholders that the most
sanguine could desire
With such showing, and with the prospects
before the Association of constantly adding to
the interest and value of its annual exhibi.
tons, 1t is certainly not expecting too much of
the other counties of Middle Florida that they
should begin to take efficient steps towards repre-
sentation in The work and prospects of the Asso-
citation. There is ne one of these other counties
which could not, with scarcely an effort, get no
subscription Of $500 to the capital stock, and thus
ally itself with the only existing enterprise of the
kind in this part of the State. No local organi-
zaton in the counties is calculated 10 accomplish
30 much for the good of the agricultural and
immigrational interests of the district and no
organized effort in any one county, to do any
good at oil, can be made TO accomplish the same
results at so little cost to the people. Agricul-
tural societies ought 10 exist in every one of
these counties, and where they do not their Or
ganization would be an easy matter and the
requisite subscription could be made by such
society, instead of leaving it to individual enter
prise. The shares of stock, although nominaIly
800 each, are issued in fractions (half shares
and quarter shares) 80 that if no organization
exists or is effected in any county, individual
subscriptions may be so divided up among a
number as TO make the initial burden very light
uponAny single individual.
The only object the Association can have in
inviting subscriptions from the other counties is
to enable it to pursue the original plan, and to
provide means for the erection, upon its ample
and highly improved grounds, Ola suitable build
ing for the special use of each of the counties so
subscribing 10 IFS stock.
These circumstances ought to commend the
subject to the most earnest consideration of the
people of the different counties of Middle Florida
who alone can take the first steps towards the
contamination of the original plan, and who
may we'll be in some haste TO secure the benefits
for themselves and their counties which 1t is The
benificent design of the Association TO afford
The next annual fair will begin on Monday;
the 10th day of January next QSS1 and oniinue
the entire week. The premium list will be pub
lished and distributed at an early day.
