Fair Ground Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Fair Ground
Company was held in the directors room
of the Merchants Bank last Wednesday
afternoon. Time was when this room
would have been far too small for this
annual meeting, but this year there was
no opposition to the old board OF direc-
tors and they were elected by acclamma-
ton.
President T. R. Stiles presided and the
treasurer's report was presented by
Harry H. Carr. This showed all bills
paid and surplus in the treasury of
over $17OO, which is probably the largest
sum the Fair Ground Company have
ever netted from an exhibition. These
directors were then elected for the ensuing
year. T. R. Stiles. St. Johnsbury; |. Q.

the proposed adoption of a city charter

voters in this village should remember
this meeting as it is the most important
village meeting that has been held for some
time. The vote on the question will be
by ballot and the Australian method will
be used. AS previously announced the
voters of the village as we'll as the voters
in the town of St. Johnsbury will have
final vote on this question on Saturday,
Jan. 81.

site the word Eyes" or "No," accord
ing as you wish to vote.
The CALEDoNIAN is late in going to
press this week, but our st. Johnsbury
readers have the benefit of the delay as
they will receive with their paper copy
of the city charter. 1t has been impos-
sible to give this in full until this time, but
we feel sure our readers will be glad oil the
opportunity of having the charter in
their possession before vote is taken on
its acceptance. 1t has been carefully
drawn and the committee who had the
matter in charge have spent great deal
of time upon it. In framing the charter
they had the benefit OF the others in YER
mont, though special attention was paid
to the needs of st. Johnsbury.
The CALEDoNIAN is able to present its
readers with the text of the charter
through the courtesy of the Blu llngton
Free Press, and the text is the same
as will appear i'll the Laws OF Vermont,
