FAIR DECLARES DIVIDEND
And it is the Largest Dividend it Ever
Declared.

The executive committee Of the State
Fair Association met last night and de-
clared a dividend on the bonded indebted
ness CT the association
This bonded Indebtedness is S26, 800
and a dividend of per cent. Will be paid
for year and half. To do this re-
qufres $3.50. The years dividend will
be paid Immediately, and the half year
dividend will be paid as soon as the
Fair authorities settle with the railroads.
This will be within the next few days.
This is the first time so large a diyi-
dend has ever been declared, and speaks
well for the management of the assoeia-
ion
The dividend will be paid from this
years earnings and without drawing on
the resources of the NEXT Fair.
Two resolutions were adopted by the
committee. The first one Is "a resolution
of thanks to the newspapers of the State
for their assistance in advertising the
Fair and is as follows:
Resolved, That the sincere thanks Of
the society are hereby extended to the
press of the State, and especially to the
Raleigh papers for giving without stint
that earnest support and invaluable help,
which is always indispensable in carry
mig such an enterprise as a State Fair to
successful issue"
Another agency that contributed very
largely in many ways to the success of
the Fair was the railroads, aid of this
flct the Fair management is fully con-
scious. as is evidenced by the following
resolution unanimously adopted last
night
Whereas, the railroad authorities
have generously co-operated with the
State Fair management by meeting the
popular demand of the times for special
passenger rate of one cent mile during
Fair week, which so greatly increased
our patronage. Therefore,
Resolved, That the hearty thanks Of
the North Carolina Agricultural Society
is thereby cordially rendered to the
several railroad systems who thus sub
stancially, aided rs in holding the great
State Fair of 1892
The meeting of the committee was a
very fun and harmonious one.
Another meeting viii be held in a few
days to close mp the affairs of the Asso-
citation for 1890.
Then the new president, Mr.. Nc
Nance, will take charge, appoint his
executive committee and begin planning
for next years Fair.
