AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,

At the last meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Hartford County Agricul-
tural Society the following business was
transacted.
The report of the President of the
Society on the result of his visit to the
Deer Creek Farmers Club was received
and accepted.
He stated in his report that the Club
took the deepest interest in promoting
the welfare of the Agricultural Society
and appointed a committee consisting of
John d. Worthington and William w.
Finney to take the matter under consider
alton and report at the next meeting of
the Club.
Communication was received from the
president Of the board Mr.. John D.
Worthington and the secretary Mr.. T.
c. Galbreath relative to the school ex-
hibits at the coming exhibition. The
disadvantage which the small schools
labored under in their competition
with thelarger ones, they suggested could
be removed by forming two classes one
of which shall consist of all the schools
in which there are three or more teachers
and the other to be composed ofall others;
the premium to be divided between them
in proportion to the number of pupils of
each class. Because of lack of space in
which to exhibit the work to good ad-
vantage and at the same time to insure
its safety from DETACHMENT and destruc-
tion it was recommended that the loca-
ton of the public school exhibit be re-
moved to more roomy quarters. The
report also advises that in the printing
of the tickets for free admission of the
public school children, blank spaces
should be left in which the teacher could
insert the name, age and sex of the child,
number and name of the school and
date of enrolment for the particular
scholastic year. 1t was also recon-
mended that tickets should not be issued
to students who entered the schools later
than September goth.
1t was ordered that school premiums
be increased to $40 provided the school
board would give sos. The recommen-
dations of the School Board relative to
the issuing of tickets for pupils was
adopted and that the tickets be distribut-
ed through the County Examiner, good
for any one day of the fair.
Mr.. John G. Rouse was appointed a
committee to go before the School Board
relative to the increase ofpremium money.
Mr. William E. Hanway was appointed
Marshal with Messrs. c. K. Sewell and
|. Rush STREET. assistants.
Messrs. Harry, Allen and Richardson
were appointed committee on the race
programme.
1t was directed that the race committee
