The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1892-05-13
Shall Bradford Have a Fair?

Read the letters from citizens Of other
towns and then let us answer the question
for ourselves, for this must be decided by
us. and the responsibility of having a falT
or not rests upon us. II we wish 1t, we can
have a fair that will DC worthy OF the town,
and those connected with it, for prominent
men from Newbury, Pierm0nt Oxford;
Thetford, Fairiee, COrinth, Topsham and
other towns have offered their support
and have subscribed literally for the stock
of the company, but unless we push the
matter these other towns, however enthu-
siastic they may be, will refuse TO do any
thing. 1t has been very encouraging TO re-
ceiye so many hearty words from former
residents of this vicinity. VIM. Craig OF
Boston sends word that he is ready TO help
Bradford and will take twenty-five shares
in the proposed company, and that ne hopes
we will succeed in raising the $4,000 capital
stock. Below we give few OF the many
letters that have been received:
l am in receipt of your communication Of the 18th
inst and in reply regret say that prior engagements
will prevent me attending your meeting. But am
heart and hand with you in the matter, and anything
that can do 10 further such an organization as you
contemplate shall be gladly done and you may be sure
of nv cooperation. There will be much advantage to
the village OF organization of the kind IN the way oil
bringing it before the public and also in monetary
point OF view to its merchants ETC. With best wishes IN
regard to the undertaking,
