THE A. N. IL. 5. ASSOCIATION
Coli Stakes at Our Next Fair-Sep-
TENDER 26th Fixed as Day
Of Opening.

The directors of the Giles Coun
ty Agricultural, Mechanical and
Live Stock Association met il
stated session at Maj. Stacy's offic.
last Saturday, Mr.. j. B. Short, pres
ident.
Mr. D. S. Martin stated that il
had been suggested that row OF
willow trees ought to be planted or
the west side of the fair grounds tc
protect them against the encroach-
ments of Richland creek. Tbs
idea of such an improvement seem
ed to meet the approval of major
ity of the directors, but they took
no action to have it done because
they thought it best to do nothing
that would add to the indebtedness
of the ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. A. j. McKimmin moved that
the association offer three colt
stakes, for trotters, at the next fair.
After warm discussion between
the mover and Maj. J. B. Stacy,
who opposed the motion, it carried
by ballot of 4 to 3, the president
casting the deciding vote. Follow
ing are the stakes that will be Of
fered.

The directors hope to obtain GER
tain purses from outside es
which will be added to these stakes.
If they succeed the colt stakes will
be greatly increased, and even if
they do not they will be worth com
peting for, and will doubtless add |
much to the interest Of the fair and |
will increase proportionately the
gate receipts. This will be a new
feature at our fair and it is suppos-
ed, will be additional to the usual |
race.
Upon motion of Capt. Jas. E. Alb
ernathy the time for the opening of |
the fall fair was fixed for the last
Tuesday in September, the 18th |
day of the month.
Messrs. A. E. May, R. j. Ander-
son, NJ. c. Fitzpatrick, j. B. Stacy
and A. j. McKimmin were appoint |
ed committee to arrange the pro-
gram for the next fair. They will be
expected to make their report at the
next meeting of the directors-On
the second Saturday in March.
The secretary, Maj. Stacy, was
to adopt such means as
his judgment dictates to advertise
the colt stakes, and the meeting ad-
journed.
