a lively interest was shown by every
one present. A temporary organiza-
tion was affected by naming Max Gins
burger as chairman, and Harry st John
as secretary. The aims and objects Of
the Trustees was stated by Judge Long
street and the instrument conveying
the Fair Ground property from its
present owners to the trustees was read
and discussed, ard was pronounced sat
isfactory TO all concerned.
The Trustees then perfected perma-

1t was decided to hold the Fair this
year on Nov. 7th, Stb, and 9th.
Judge Longstreet, B. c. Adams and
w. p. Ferguson were appointed a COM
mittee on bylaws.
1t was moved that an executive com.
mittee OF five members be appointed by
the president, and that this executive
committee be empowered to appoint all
necessary subcommittee. AS the
success of the Fair depends in a great
measure upon the men who compose
the executive com mittee the president
was asked to take time and use care in
its selection.
1t was moved by Max Giusburger
that n committee be appointed to ar
range for n big street parade on the
second day of the Fair. The PROPOSE
tion struck a popular chord and this
feature will be one Of the most inter-
Of the Fair. Judge Longstreet
also moved to amend by also making
the second day "Old Home Day." and
inviting all former residents of the
and county who are now living
to meet here on November
Sth and have a big reunion. The sug-
was adopted. This feature has
been a successful one in other Sec
tons, and will create great interest
here as well. Old timers, who made
the earlier history of the country, now
in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee
and other points, and the young men
who have left US to seek their fortunes
will come back with their
wives and their children, and there
will be the biggest getting-together
ever witnessed in this or any other
community.
1t was the sentiment of the meeting
that races are what the people take the
greatest interest In and the racing Tea.
