The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1885-08-11

Meeting Of the Roard Of Di-
r6CtOre.

The board of directors of the Sedalia
Fair association met Friday night and
proceeded to spprint various committees
of arrangement and preparations for the
coming fair, and to place the machinery
at work to render it one of the most suc-
cessful expositions ever held In Central
Missouri. The list of premiums is larger
than usual, and the programme will he
more elaborate.
The Committee on grounds, under the
sble management of Capt Ed Stevens.
will begin to morrow the work of
preparing all the buildings for
the occasion and reports from various
points already indie tie a much larger LIST
Of entries embracing a greater scope of
country than ever before. Sedslia and
SedAlis's people owe it to themselves and
the fair association to see that every as
slsiance IS rendered to make this exposi-
ton a marked success ana 10 a measure re-
ply the association for their heavy losses
and great sacrifices made last year because
OF the unfavorable weather.
Not only IS matter Of ju't recognition
10 them, but because Sedalia cannot afford
to do without fair and another failure
would completely discsursge the associa-
ton

Railroads Must Come to Time.

Galveston, Texas, August S.-A dispatch
from Austin to the Ners says Governor
Ireland has addressed to Attorney General
Temple,on the following letter:
al call your attention to the late act of
the legislature demanding ACTON against
the railway companies to break up and
prevent the consolidating of competing
Ines.
al also call your attention to the late
conferences In Galveston, between owners
of lines in Texas. Ii is understood the
main Offices of some of the principal roads
are 10 be or are being removed out of the
state. There can be no doubt each main
road in Texas is competing line to every
road in the state. and no cons lid stion can
take place without violating the provisions
of the constitution and laws.
Il hope you will not delay action in this
mstter and that the railroad companies
may be required to conform their action to
the constitution and laws"
