them that the Board is composed of four-teen Directors, and the off cers are President, a Secretary Treasurer and Superintendent O Grounds. The working commit tees arc Executive and Finance each composed of threo members The salaries of these are as follows,
 President, Glory.
 Board of Directors, Glory
 Secretary from $50 to Sl00.
 Treasurer, nominal.
 Snpt. Grounds,
 Executive Com, - c ory.
 Finance, @ Glory.
 From the above it will be seen that the Secro'ffv is the onley off Ger of the Association that really receives any compensation for bIs work, and that never eX- eeeds Sl00 per annuM and IS ire quently hot allowed half that amount. The Treasurer has re ceived about $50 in 2l years, and the Supt. of Grounds q small com | pensation tor his labors, on the Grounds during .he Fair.
 All the rest. work for nothing, not even the thanks of those who would be the benofciaries of their labors. let when the Far IS holden and the people fail to at. tend and make it absolutely i'm possible to pay expenses. they complain at tl.e management. Now, when we reflect that the managers work for the Fair from one end of the year to the other without single cent, neglect their own private business, and some ol them ride 20 or 30 miles to the meetings of the Board, through all kinds of weather, all for the goed of the country, we feel that complaint against them from any source, comes with very bad grace, and moro especially from those who patronizc the Fair, alone, for what they hope to eXtort Tn the way of premium money Every Director, must by the rules of the 1 Association, be q stock holder and the shares cost each one of them s2.00 q share, and most of them own as hlgh as 25 shares, which means an outlay of S50.00 to each, which they have never received one cent of interest on and never expect to. What these men arc doing and have done are from purely patriotic motives. We re cognize the fact, that, to the mar TO U-minded, contracted soul who lives for self and self alone, this seems unreasonable, but an inspec ton of the Association Books which are always open to the pub lie, will prove what we have said
 The Directors at their last meet ing carefully considered all these things, and after full and fail discussion of the whole matter, i was unanimously y decided tha there are public-spirited peopl, enough in South Eastern Arkansa. te revivity and enthuze new in terest in such notoriously com mendable enterprise as to insur, it's success beyond per adventure therefore it was decided to con tinue the Fair, and to hold tn, 22nd Annual Fair, at Monticello on the l4th, 18th and 16th days 0 Oct. next. The management ask and insists that every man, woman and child, in the confines of tn District, and in the good old ooun ty of Drew. in particular, talk a hand. Do something. Ever little is help. Show little put lie spirit, and let the world kno, who you are and where you are. Those who hold claims agains the ASsoclation should take an at tive interest in the next Falr io two reasons. First from purel patriotic one, which should actr ate every good woman and goo man, and second, from the fac that, to have Il ig, successful Fai next Fall would be the means ( their realizing tho amount Of thei claims in full. Do you see tn point? It is certainly plain enoug l to be seen.
