THE COUNTY FAIR.

The meeting Of the Snyder Coun-
ty Agricultural Association met in
the Court House on Saturday even
ing. The committee reported that
arrangements could be made to buy
II acres OF land OF Daniel Bolender
for $4,000, $500 in cash and $500 to
be covered with mortgageJ. The
cost for putting up tho buildings
and fences and getting the track in
shape was estimated to bo about
S25O0, hence it will be necessary to
raise $4,000 before any attempt will
be made TO undertake the fair. Sub.
scription lists were started in Mid
dleburgh on Monday and it is ex-
pected that $1,000 can be raised in
this place and the remainder $4,000
to be raised elsewhere in tho county.
The shares will be sold at ten
$1,000 dollars each. The holder of
each share will be entitled to two
admission tickets good for every day
at the annual fairs. Any person can
buy as many shares as he or she de-
sires and in that way get more tick
cts which can be sold or transferred
if desired. No dividends are prom
ised, but they will be declared if the
proceeds Of the fair will permit.
Snyder county has not had fair
for many years and every encourage
ment should be given to the project.
Subscriptions can be sent by mail to
the Association at Middleburg or
handed to any solicitor.
