believed that the net receipts will be
sufficient to pay off the remaining in
debtedness and place the valuable
property free of all obligations. The
best of order prevailed during the
fair, and the visitors spent the days
most pleasantly in the beautiful grove.
About forty tents were occupied
and the social features were thorough
ly enjoyed by our home folks and the
many guests who partook OF their
hospitality.
The managers of the fair, In view
of the experience gained at this exhloi-
ton and at preceding ones, will at an
early day hold a meeting to discuss
the general conditions, and it is pos
sible some important changes will be
made in the methods of conducting
the fair. 1t is the desire Of the off,
GERS to add to its success the approval
of the public, and there will probably
be such innovations and improvements
as shall make it more popular than
ever. The officers In charge Of the
fair this year are G. D. Wysong, presi-
dent, Z. T. Licklider, secretary, j. ?.
Kearfott, treasurer, and W. T. Nc
Quilkin, chief marshal. They are
entitled to the thanks of the people
interested for the success of this year S
exhibition.
