the purpose Of considering redemption
OF the property in some way. When the
land was purchased mortgage OF about
$500 was given. Last spring this mort
gage was foreclosed. and the year Of
redemption runs out next month.
The property consists Of 40 acres OF
fine land sovn to timothy. fenced, with
abundance OF water at l6 feet, a good
half-nile track, and contains ticket
Office, floral hall. amphitheater, judges
sand stables. sheds, etc, worth more than
twice the mortgage. Some effort ought
to be made to preserve these grounds for
the purpose of a fair. either by the
society, or stock company. II by some
means the fair could be placed in the
hands of one Sc. of stockholders for
term OF years they could conduct 1t much
better than by changing officers every
year. Experience is necessary in hand
ling such an enterprise, and where new
men are called to act every year. they do
without kuo slsdge or experience. Every
oflcer should be elected for two years
at least.

whatever they can carry of. Last satur-

A. d. Hills farm one mile east Of town,
and Sunday evening three were seen
right near the Catholic church on the
outskirts OF South Miller. The cold

ly, and never 60 in packs.
