Extensive preparations are being
made for the next Fair. The enter
prise of the President, DR.. r. S. Hill,
is certainly commendable. The thou
sands of dollars that have been ex-
pended in this community in recent
years through the Fair Association in
waking Improvements on the grounds
and in giving employment during the
exhibitions, not to mention the money
expended in the town by visitors, has
helped numbers of our people, and no
one deserves SO much credit for it, as
DR.. Hill.
