Committee met at the court house on
Saturday. There was u good attend
ancc of the members present.
The committee was called to order by
County Chairman Cunningham, who
stated the object of tho meeting.
The chairman stated that the COM
mittec had the privilege of using either
the Fair Grounds or Jones' Grove for
holding the meeting, and ON motion it
was decided to use the Fair grounds.
Several applications were made for the
privilege of furnishing u barbecue on
that occasion. a committee consisting
of w. ". Tarrant, II. II. c. Hunter and
Is. Is. Lcltzscy was appointed to wait
upon Hon. Geo. S. Mower owner of
the Fair grounds, and ascertain what
privileges the committee could grant.
This committee reported that Mr.
Mower "avc them the exclusive right
to the grounds for that day.
Two applica, ions came before the
committee to furnish the barbecue,
one from Mr.. J. &. Harmon and one
from Mr.. b. O. Ept;ng. A ballot was
taken, which resulted: Harmon, II:
Epting,2. SO MIR. Harmon will furnish
the barbecue. The following is the
proposition of Mr.. Harmon, which was
accepted:
'I will furnish dinner for the politi-
cal meeting on the 9th. | will fur
| nish the stand and ice water, buck
| cts, etc. will furnish pork, lamb,
beef, potatoes, cucumbcrs and tOmn-
toes, and hash, both pork and beef, sea-
soncd with butter, at 80 cents for mon
and rs cents for ladies. viii furnish

cents.
"July "a, 1897. }. G. HARMON"
Mr.. Epting's bid was practically the
same, only he did not offer to feed the
| executive committee for 25 cents. After
the selection had been made Mr.. Joe
| Chalmers wanted to adopt Il resolution
asking the newspapers not to print the
! bid. We suppose he Thought the pub
lie might conclude that the reduction
| to the executive committee Influenced
the vote. We had not thought Of it in
that light until he suggested it. His
motion was very properly laid upon the
table. Mr.. Harmon, We understand,
also said he would give the newspaper
men dinner at the same price. We no.
tify Mr.. Harmon now hat it has bcc,
customary to give the newspaper men
dinner without price, and it will not be
well for him to go back on a custom OF
such long standing.
