The howard County Agricultural
Society.

The useeting Of the members OF
the Agricultural Society, on Satnr-
day, was fra1ght with good to its
future. Some three or four years
since, needed improvements were
made and payments predicated from
the proceeds OF the then coming fair.
Instead OF Il fair and the realization
Of funds to cancel the liabilities Of
the society, three days rain in sue
cession left the society in debt for its
improvements. Since then it has
struggled along TO wipe out the debt
without success. In the mean time
additional land, driving course,
additional buildings, etc, were re-
CURED. Last fall the society had u
reasonably successful fair, obtaining
funas adequate TO pay all its debts
and leave IL small sum in the treas
ury for future use. or it could be us
cd for the payment OF premiums aud
let the debt remain unpaid. Which
OF these should be done2 was the
question for discussion. TO pay the
premiums and carry the debt, pay
ing interest thereon, was equivalent
to borrowing money with which TO
pay premiums, exceedingly bad poli-
cy. After IL very general expression
of opinion the previous question was
called, and the society voted nnani-
mously to pay its debts and not the
premiums. This puts the society on
d sound footing for the future, with
assurance that whatever funds are
collected as the result Of 4 fair can
be used to pay its premiums without
doing injury TO any creditor OF the
society. for ii will have none.
