the Wells County Fair association was
held in this city with thirty-five per-
sons present, representing a majority

what surprising considering that the
last fair was held at a time when con-
ditions We're anything but favorable
from a financial standpoint in this sec
ton.
The matter of the disputed purse
for the county race held at the last
meet was thoroughly discussed from
every standpoint and handled without
gloves from both those who held to
the disalowal of the claims and by
those who Thought the payment obli-
gatory upon the part of the associa.
ton. This and other matters took a
greater part Of the afternoon, and as it
was impossible to finish the business of
the meeting at one session. the men,
bers present seemed to think it best to
adjourn until a later date when every
shareholder should be present. The
date agreed upon was the second Tues
day in February.

New York, Dec. 29.-After several

Evidence that Phoenix is rapidly

 prospects of abundant prosperity and
 growth are simply too numerous to

 The Napoleon in the local baseball field has evidently come to town and has already organized his material with all the celcrity and conquering skill that characterized that doughty but much misunderstood warrior in another field.

 The officers of the league are: Cecil Nellis president; J. II. Kennedy, sec retary; Hugh Daggs, treasurer; Ralph Buelna vice president; and Harry Mace official score keeper.
