There will be important business trans

it is necessary that the citizens of thi:
vicinity should not relax any of The
commendable efforts which have dur
ing the seventeen years last past con
tributed so much to the success of tn,

former exhibitions should rather en-
courage the members and friends o

efforts to make each succeeding fai

Democrat hopes to see such intereS
manifested at the meeting on Satur
day as will assure a most successful
