Saturday afternoon for those interest
ed in the organization of a Fair Associ
alton was well attended and much en-
thusiasm was manifested. Farmers AM
citizens gathered from every section Of
the county and expressed their view d!
to what should be done in the matter
Mr.. w. B. Mason was elected Chair.
man of the meeting and Green CLAY
Walker Secretary, and after speeches
by many of those present. steps were
taken from the organization of stock
company for the purpose of establish
ing permanent fair for Garrard cOun-
/ ty. 1t is purpOsed to organize a comp,
any with capital stock of so, 900, the
stock to be scattered promiscuously
among the citizens of the county, the
value of each share to be $1,000. -,
this method it is hoped to make the in
terest in the welfare of the Organiza-
more widespread. A cOmmitte of q
men, three from each voting precinct
In the county, were appointed to solicit
subscriptions to the stock, and they.
together with those persons who sub
scribe to the stock, and all per-
sons who are interested in the move
ment are requested to meet at the
court house on Saturday afternoon
September 30th. at o'clock to effect a
permanent organization, and to discuss
plans in detail as to the future policy
of the association. The idea is to have
an association in which every part of
the county shall be interested by hav-
ing stock, then making the affair one
of interest to the entire county, to
lease or buy permanent quarters and
erect suitable buildings for a per-
manent home for the fair. Another
feature which is being considered by
the promoters of the scheme is to have
several rings each day for Garrard
county stock exclusively. This idea is
not intended to exclude exhibitors from
adjoining counties from showing stock
at the fair, but to exclude them from
these rings and to have an ample num-
ber of rings with premiums of sufficient
size to attract exhibitors from every
where to come here and exhibit, and at
the same time, have these other rings
which will be for the exclusive use and
benefit of home productions. Another
feature which is being favorably con-
sidered is the erection oe floral hall,
in which the good ladies of the county
may exhibit their handiwork, culinary,
needle work, the products of the garden,
dairy and in fact everything in which
they are interested.
We want to say to the people of the
county that this movement was placed
on foot especially for their benefit, and
if they are interested, show that inter-
est by subscribing to the stock, the
subscribing binds you to nothing unlees
the association is finally organized, then
when you subscribe, come in to the
next meeting, see what class of citizens
are participating in this movement, and
put your own shoulder to the wheel
and help the movement along
We give below list of the gentle
men who have been appointed by Chair
man Mason to take subscriptions for
stock. Call on any one of them and
give him your name for one or more
shares, and then come in to the meet
ing on the last day of the month.
Should you not see one of the solicitors
come in county court day and see Mr..
Mason and give him your name for a
few shares. Following is list of the
gentlemen from the various precincts
who have been appointed to solicit sub
scribers for the stock

Sugar Still Climbing.
The price on sugar is still soaring,
doing fancy stunts at the rate of about
twenty five cents per jump. This is
due to the fact of shortage in the
Cuban crop, bad conditions in the beet
sugar industries in this country, and to
an effort on the part of European cap
italists tO corner the market on Am
erican sugar. The American Sugar
Refining Co. who are the largest
manufacturers of sugar in the world,
holds out some hope of an abatement
