a tour of the grounds of the Har-
rison County Agricultural Society re-
veals the fact that the money lately
appropriated by the Harrison county
Board of Supervisors for defraying ex-
penses of numerous new improve
ments at the fair ground is being
wisely expended under the direct sup
ervision of President James, of the
Society. Perry Mace now has large
force of men busy at work on the
huge, new barn, which is now in
course of erection. The old gate at the
northeast corner of the grounds has
been closed and the new barn will oc--
cupy that corner. The new structure
is to be modern in every respect. Ac-
cording TO the plans aud specifications
the barn will be twenty eight feet wide
and eighty feet long and will contain
sixteen box stalls. Through the cen
ter of the barn will run All alleywAy
ten feet wide. The society has set
aside the sum of $500 for the erection
of the barn, and when it is finished will
afford ample accommodation for at least
twenty horses.
For MANY years past the Society has
been hampered to certain extent by
the insufficient seating capacity of the
amphitheater, but this will soon be q
thing of the past as the Board of Di
rectors of the Society, at the recent
meeting, set aside the sum of 5000 for
the purpose of building AN addition to
the amphitheatre. The plans and
specifications show that the new sec
ton Will be forty feet long and the
same width of the old grand staEd
| The new section will have seating
capacity of 500 people. The grass and
weeds in all parts of the grounds will
soon be moved and the grounds put

reception of the public. The trees will
be trimmed and everything on the
premises will be put IN condition t.
