A meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Fair Association and the representa-
tives of the Agricultural Society was held
in the afternoon when the matter of the
81 900 the Fair Association has promised
to pay the society as a bonus for holding
the State Fair at Savannah was discussed.
President Brown wanted the money paid
right away, as the society desires to take
up its obligations.
Mr.. Brown said later to representative
of the Morning News that the Agricul-
tural Society had not asked Savannah to
pay the $1,000. but that, through its repre-
sentatives. and TO secure the fair, it had
volunteered to do so, offering the society
the money instead Of any percentage of
profits that might accrue from the fair.
This was regarded as a liberal offer, and
it was accepted. Mr.. Brown had often
been asked, he said. why il was decided
to have the fair at Savannah, and his re-
ply has been to say that good offer was
made. Upon his saying what the offer
was he finds that the members of the So
ciety agree that Savannah should have
been selected. Mr. Brown insists that If
can make no difference to the Fair Asso-
citation if the money is paid now, whereas
it would make considerable difference to
the Agricultural Society.
The board of directors agreed to leave
the further consideration of the matter
ing of that body and the Agricultural So
ciety representatives was held at O'clock
This did not result in any conclusion be-
ing reached, but President Brown said il
would be left with Mr.. Calvin and Mr
Barrett. who may adjust the matter to-
day. MI Brown and Col. Crittenden left
last night for their homes
In speaking of arrangements for the
fair, Mr.. Brown said he had not made
his appointments of heads of departments.

IL Is with pleasure that We call the
attention of the trade, and private fam
lilies, TO the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undoubted purity ana of the
finest quality, we are now bottllng the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops in the
manufacture of malt liquors has re-
suited in an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of u harmful or deletcri-
Gus nature, and ut n price that would
commend its use Ia all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers TO purchase imported
goods ut high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled in quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at Il much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and. being bottled
by ourselves ut Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy grOcers, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.
