COUNTY FAIR
Will be Held the
Week Following.
Active Plans for the Big CeIe-
bration to be Started Early
in the New Year.

Although there has been but little
doing recently in the Old Home Week
venture, still tine subject was revived
| with q vim at the meeting of the
Bellefontaine Floral and Improvement
society Monday evening.
After the first OF the year the var
ious committees essential to the plan.
ming of the details for the demonstra-
tion VIII be selected and IL is the in
tention Of the Bellefontaine CONNER
cial club to assist in making Old Home
Week the grand success it should be.
CIRCULATE PETITIONS.
1t is planned, bright and early in
1905, to circulate petitions asking the
citizens of Logan county for funds
with which to carry on the Old Home
Week. Not only in Bellefontaine. but
in every town ana village in the coun-
ty will the good news go forth that all
former Logan county boys will be with
rs again ard for q week visit old
scenes aud old friends.
Although plans are yet in their in
fancy. still it has already been virtual
ly decided to hold Old Home Week the
six days preceding the Logan county
fair. The reason for this is given that
the former residents of Bellefontaine
and Logan county coming from far
and near viii be right on the ground
and will not find it in their hearts to
leave just before the big fair comes.
OBJECT TO FAIR WEEK.
Others are of the opinion that Old
Home Week shoulo be held the week
OF the fair. but objections are made to
this suggestion, for the fair proper
would be in the minds of all and so the
reunion would not be what it should.
The intention of the Floral society
members is to engage the Grand opera
house for week and there every even
ing have former Logan county speak
ers. who have achieved success in 9TH
er places, tell of the changes for the
better Father Time has made in old
Logan Each church denomination
will also be asked to donate the use of
the edifices on certain nights. 1t is al.
80 planned to have band concerts and.
maybe. q big barbecue at the fair
grounds.
