There is hitch in the negotiations of
the grange fair committee for the pur-
chase of Wyman park, which it is hoped
will be but temporary. The Hancock
County Fair association, the present own
ers of the park, at recent meeting voted
to accept the offer Of the grange commit
tee OF $500 for the park, but with GER
tain conditions and stipulations which
the grange committee refuses to agree to
in full. 1t is hoped the association and
the committee may yet be able to get to-
gether. A meeting OF the grange commit
tee has been called for Saturday, Feb. s.,
for the purpose Of incorporating the Han
cock County Grange Fair association. At
this meeting it is hoped the matter OF To-
cation can be decided. c. l.. Morang has
been appointed by President Whitney, Of
the board OF trade, to act with Mayor
Simonton, from the Merchants associa-
tion, as the committee to see about rails
ing the 81 900 bonus asked by the grange
committee for locating the grange fair in
Ellsworth.
