INDEBTEDNESS REDUCED.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Southwest Wisconsin Fair was
held in the city hall on Tuesday after
noon.
The object of the meeting was to
consider the question of increasing
the capital stock of the corporation.
There was a fair attendance, and a
majority of the shares of stock was
represented.
w. j. Penhallegon, president, pre-
sided, and w. H Correll acted as
secretary.
President PeuhalIegon, after stating
the purpose for which the meeting
was held, called for an expression of
the views of the shareholders relative
to the necessity and feasibility of in
creasing the capital stock of the
corporation. Mr.. Penhallegon also
stated that last year the debt on the
grounds was reduced from $4,000 to
81 800, and with the net proceeds of
this years. fair the debt will be re-
duced to 5000.
A general discussion of the question
of increasing the capital stock was
had, when it was moved and seconded
that the capital stock of the corpora
tton shall be $4,000, the number of
shares 1000, and the par value of
each share $1,000.
The motion was unanimously adopt
ed, and the capital stock will be in
creased in accordance with said
action.
Every person interested in the pro-
gress of Mineral Point and in the
success OF the Southwestern Wiscon-
sin Fair should sbscribe for one or
more shares of the additional stock to
be issued
Notwithstanding the fact that the
officers OF the Fair have been handi-
capped by not having sufficient funds
to make needed improvements to the
buildings and grounds, the fairs have
been successful, in point of attend
exhibits, receipts, and the satisfaction
given to the public.
The 1908 fair was a record breaker
and proved a reunion of the people of
this section which will be long remem-
bered. The officers of the Fair have

Death of Mrs. Oates.

Daily Record, Stockton, California:
Word has been received here Of the
death of Mrs. Sarah G. Oates at Min
erai Point, Wisconsin, on Friday,
August 2Sth.
Mrs. Oates was the wife of w. w.
Oates, the architect, and her home was
in Stockton for many years. She was
a bright woman and when consump-
tion laid its hand on her several years
ago she did not give up and sink into
rapid decline, but made brave
struggle to the last. By living out of
doors and the adoption of many life
prolonging aids she maintained the
unequal contest, but the end came Fri
day last at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Crawford, who had tenderly
done everything possible for the suf-
ferer.
Almost the last words of Mrs. Oates
were to remember her to her Stockton
friends. The deceased leaves one
child, son Howard, residing in San
Franciso.

Miss Billings.

Mr.. Guy E. Payne, assistant gen
eral superintendent of the Postal Tel
egraph Co., spent yesterday in Ameri
Gus, coming down from Atlanta to in
spect the Americus Office.
Mr.. Payne spent the day going over
the business and equipment of the
local office. He found that under the
efficient administration of Miss
Grace Edith Billings the business and
property of me company had been well
handled. Since Miss Billings took
charge of the office here several
months ago the business has consid-
erably increased, the patrons of the
Postal have been we'll pleased with
the promptness and accuracy of the
service rendered them, and there has
been a noticeable absence of COM
plants of any character
Supt. Payne warmly congratulated
Miss Billings on her capable hand
ling of the company's affairs. you
are the best manager we have ever
had in Americus," was his comment,
an encomium that those having busi-
ness with the Postal at this point will
all endorse.

Here in Americus, where local poll

interest in felt in the selection of the
senatorial representative for this
district The Thirteenth district is
composed of Sumter, Schley and
Macon counties. To Schley is accord
ed the honor this time of naming the
state senator. Several well known
gentlemen there have been spoken
of in the way of senatorial timber,
but as yet they are not in the run
ming, Sumter is getting her house
political in shape, and while she does
not vote for senator until the state
primary in May the boys in the
trenches here are anxious to know
whose name will go upon the ticket
as our senatorial representative Sum-
ter will name the senator two years
hence, and already the faithful here
are flirting with the coveted honor.

CHECKS ARE GIVEN TO
THE. VETS IN SUMTER
Pension List Amounts Here
to $7,2IO.

Captain John A Cobb, of the court
of ordinary, has finished paying the
checks to Confederate veterans and
widows, covering the first quarterly
payment made by the State. The
amount of this first quarterly pay
ment was $1802.50, or total of ST.
210 for the current year. Here in
Sumter, as elsewhere, many veterans
do not like the quarterly payment plan
preferring as heretofore, to receive
their pensions in a lump sum rather
than in quarterly installments. The
amount necessary to pay the state
pension roll this year is less by at
least $4,000 than the sum distributed
in 1907 In the previous year, when
the entire amount was paid out in
one lump, it amounted to $935,6S5, an
increase of more than $4,000 over
1905, and the laws for governing en-
rollment have been practically the
same for the past three years. This
year the total sum is $915,044.
