last Saturday afternoon. The ques-
tions before the meeting were in
regard to paying off the Indebtedness
of the association, and providing
funds to make Improvements, and
that the constitution and bylaws be
amended so as to make the fee for
new members twenty-five dollars, and
authorizing the executive committee
to levy an annual assessment on all
members not exceeding S25 each,
assessment to be paid on or before
August lst preceding the fair. And
it was decided to ask each member
whether he would be willing to pay
the assessment of $40 or more for
the coming year. An assessment
of ten dollars upon each member
would pay off the Indebtedness. 1t
is to the interest of every citizen of
this locality to see that the fair
association is sustained as it should
be, and The Democrat believes that
any reasonable demands upon its
members will be cheertully met.
