TIE DISTRICT FAIR
oTTuMWA TO HAVE ONE. OF OLD
FASHIONED SORT THIS
SUMMER.
L. A. Meeker Of Hedrick, in Confer
ence with Commercial Association
PLANS Being Laid for Successful
Race Meet and Agricultural Display

| Ottumwa will enjoy first class ag-
ricultural fair this summer If present
plans carry through all right" said l..
A. Meeker, of Hedrick, this morning.
Mr.. Meeker has contract for the
purchase of the old fair grounds west
of the city and is in the city confer
ring with the members of the CONNER
| cial association and other representa-
tive citizens with a view to learning
the best means for interesting Ottum-
vans and citizens of Wapello county
generally in the establishment of a
good fair association.
Mr.. Meeker has had life time of
experience in connection with agricul,
tural fairs both as interested promot-
er and as exhibitor He was instru-
mental in forming and is extensively
interested at present in the fair asso-
citation at Mt. Pleasant and at his home
town of Hedrick. He is the proprie-
tor of fine stock farm at Hedrick
and is interested in the raising of all
classes Of fine blooded stock.
At a meeting of the board of the
Commercial association held yester.
day afternoon Mr.. Meeker appeared
and told of his plans for the local fair.
After hearing him through and thor.
oughly discussing the matter, a reso.
luton prepared by Joseph Dain and
Calvin Manning was adopted and an
advisory committee was appointed to
confer with Mr.. Meeker. This commit
tee held one session this morning and
another is called for 1870 o'clock this
afternoon. The best means of raising
money and of engaging the interest of
the people in the fair association is the
subject being discussed. The resolu-
tons adopted yesterday afternoon by
the board is as follows:
"The Commercial association has
had brought to its attention the fact
that L. A. Meeker of Hedrick, has con-
tracted for and intends to purchase the
ground in West Ottumwa owned by
the Wapello County Agricultural So
ciety and that it is contemplated form
ing an association to be known as the
Ottumwa District Fair association. We
heartily recommend this enterprise to
the citizens of Ottumwa and Wapello
county. The holding of an agricultu-
raj fair and the revival of this inter
est in our judgment would be of gen.
eral good to the citizens of Ottumwa
and Wapello county. We therefore,
endorse this enterprise and ask all of
those interested to give aid in some
manner to the establishment of good
first-class fair grounds, well equipped,
with suitable buildings and that Mr..
Meeker and his associates receive the
hearty cooperation of our citizens"
