On last Saturday the initial steps
toward having fair at FennmOre were
taken. An organization was effected
and if all signs don't fail, il is proposed
TO push the matter ahead, put in some
solid work. and come out al the end of
the year with one of the best fairs
held in Grant Co. At present. the only
Obstable TO success is in financial way
About half the stock necessary 10 estab-
lish successful fair has been subscrib-
ed, the other remains yet 10 DO raised
Some express doubts as To whether this
can be done, but with little effort,
there could be no reason why enough
could not be secured TO put the assOcia-
ton in position 10 commence the neces-
sary operations. To guard against all
loss, the corporation organized without
any capital stock but as soon as 81, 800
is subscribed it will then be changed
and the articles Of organization amend
ed SO as to comply with that fact. The
name Of the association is The military
Ridge Agricultural Society" Some
well-known men are found among The
list of officers. ID. T. Parker, as presi-
dent, possesses all The grit and enter
prise to insure a successful outcome Of
the project. He is the right man in the
right place. The association will take
in life memberships 1T ten dollars per
member. Omar j. Arnold was appoint
eel as special solicitor for The society 10
receive subscriptions. AS stated in
these columns before, Fennimore is a
first class point for fair 1t 0ugh, To
have one and the association ought 10
be backed up in their efforts and en-
deavOrs TO secure one by every public
minded citizen. It's advantages are dis
cernable 10 all, and need not be- rehers-
cd again. The only question is, is there
public spirit enough about Fennimore
10 back up the enterprise with financial
aid? Ii is 10 be hoped there is. Fenni-
more does not have to take back seat
AS is the case in all such projects for
the public good, few must do the work
the others hold back and crilicise. Ii
it turns out TO be success, they are
with il heart and soul, if it is marked
failure, they will speak Of it in sarcas-
tic tones, which mean TO say, II told
you So" This is not the proper spirit
TO display, it shows little narrow view
of things Would il not be better for
all to put their shoulders 20 the Wheel
AMI by united effort, push The enter
Prise 10 successful completion
