The action of the State Agricultural

to Geo. D. Knox, of Hamilton, injured
in the mock battle at the State FAIR, was
received with universal appreciation.
But now the Board of Manager, after
having paid part of the money, refuse
to pay the balance and seem determined
to keep MIR. Knox out of the money that
would be such benefit to him. Burdick
Post, of Spring Valley, has sent out let
ters to the 175 Posts of the State, asking
them to endorse resolutions adopted by
Burdick Post and send them to the Pres
ident of the State Agricultural Society.
The officers of the society should see
that this matter is not allowed to run on
in this manner. Mr.. Knox has been q
great sufferer and deserves all and more
than was voted to him, and common hon
or and decency should see that he has 1t
