The question whether Stark county
should make an effort as a county or

dred plates of fruit in variety, the pro-
portion to be determined by the COM
peting counties.
Prof. Lehman offered the following
resolution: Resolved that we as countYE
organization make an effort to have a
county display of Agriculture and Hor-
tlculture at the Ohio Centennial to be
held at Columbus September next.
The resolution gave rise to consid
cradle discussion mainly on account of
required means to defray necessary ex-
pense. The resolution was adopted:
Mr.. A. POntuis offered the following
resolution which was adopted. Re
solved that the best interest of Stark
county requires that the county com
missioners make an appropriation to
defray the expenses in having Stark
county properly represented in all
departments at the Ohio Centennial.
Prof. Lehman moved that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to con-
fer with the county commissioners with
reference to the appropriation.
The chair appointed as said COM
mittee, Prof. Lehman, Conrad and
Roth.
Mr. Roth moved the Treasurer and
Secretary be authorized to appoint all
committees on Agriculture and Hor-
ticulture, which motion prevailed. In
pursuance to the call and for the proper
management of the Exposition and
