PROBABLE PosTroNEMENT OF THE FAIR.
I'm view of the fact that the Knights
Templar will hold their trennial meeting
in Washington during the second week IN
October, and that number of county fairs
will also be held during the same time, we
think the move about to be made to secure
a postponement of our annual fair from the
second to the third week in October good
one and worthy Of the consideration OF all
concerned. Under the circumstances we
believe the latter date will insure much
ltrgcr attendance and meet with general
favor The matter should be decided by the
members Of the society or their managers Mt
once so that all arrangements can be made
accordingly -Cltizen.
