fer booths, an excellent place to display their lines. Mir. Jno A |. Davis, president of the Junction City Lumber Company offers to. donate to the association the lumber required to make neces. sary improvements on the shed. This is an exceptionally liberal offer and that it was fully appre- ciated was demonstrated by the hearty cheering and hand clap ping by the audience.
 These two movements are now fairly launched and we trust that the enthusiasm shown last night will not wan. That Prescott and Nevada County will reap great benefits in the way of advertis : ing is certainty. All of our farmers are looking forward to the fair and in many instances have begun making preparations for it.
 With 100000 people passing through this special train we are bound to get get good results from our exhibits.
 Let every man in Prescott who has the welfare and progress of our town and county help in some way to make our exhibit not one of the best, but the best among those on the train.
 And again, let everyone get busy and make the fair bigger and better than last year.

 At this time matter of having the county fair was taken up and numerous discussions were had. It was unanimously voted that we should have the fair, as the one last year was decided suc- cess, and there was very little effot put forth on the part of anyone.
 Secretary Ellsworth stated that there was some money in the treasury left from last fall and there were a few of the stockholders who had not paid for their stock, which could be secured on call.
 It was suggested that a com mittee be appointed to get more stockholders and J. B. Jordan, A. NJ. Ellsworth and w. K. Buc- hanan were selected. These gentlemen will make thorough canvass of the merchants of the city and dispose of all the stock possible and then other ways will be devised whereby money can be raised to pay the pre- mlums and expenses.
 The fair will probably be held in the City Park. In this park there is plenty of room and with walls built around the sheds il | will afford those who wish to pay
