OPTION PROPERTY SECURED
Two Kinds Of Stock to Be Dis
posed Of to Suit
All.

The meeting Of the committee t.
solicit subscriptions for stock in tn,
Pennyroyal Fair Co. held last Satur
day morning was largely attended
and important business was trans.
acted.
Everybody was enthusiastic and
all expressed themselves as being
much in earnest and none expressed
any doubt as to the results Of the eff.
forts in securing the amount of sub
scriptions necessary to put on real
old-time fair next year.
Two or three committees made re-
ports that were most encouraging.
After much deliberation a resolu-
ton, submitted by R. E. Cooper. as
to the character Of the stock to be
sold, was adopted as the final action
of the promoters. Mr.. Cooper's res
olution. briefly stated. is that two
kinds of stock. aggregating $4,000,
shall be sold. Shares shall be S25
each. Every purchaser shall be en-
titled to one ticket for each S25
worth Of stock subscribed for. These
tickets are good for every day in
each year that the fair is held, year
after year. If a man has three in
family besides himself and he takes
four shares he is entitled to four
tickets These tickets will be trans
ferabe but do not draw any divi-
dends.
The other class Of stock is called
iaterest-bearing stock. and tickets of
admission are not issued on them,
the purchaser receiving his share of
The dividends that may be declared
year after year.
On the basis of the two kinds of
stock the committee is to go imme-
lately to work and raise the capital
stock of the company as soon as pos
'ible. There is every reason 70 be-
ieve that all the stock will be taken
n a short time.
The committee wants everybody
% know that there is no limit to the
purchase of stock of either charac-
.er. They can take stock of both
finds on all they want of either.
This puts the man who only takes
me or two shares of either class on
IN equal footing with the one who
axes $500 or $1,000 worth-all
hares alike. This is 80 plain that it
IAN be understood by all.
Everybody seems to be of the
opinion that the time has arrived for
he people of this county and city to
wake up and keep in line with cities
II around US who are holding coun-
y fairs, every one of which has
proven a success and been of incalcu-
able benefit to the farmers of the
ections where the fairs are held.
A committee appointed to nego-
late for and obtain an option on the
previously selected on
which to erect the amphitheater.
,rand stand. stables and other build
ngs, reported that they had closed
N option on part of the property of
Or. w. w. Williams with 60-foot
ieht'of wsy through the property
( Williams & Radford. The com
nittee also reported that it expected
0 be able TO announce in few days
n option on the property adjoining
hat of DR.. Williams in few days.
An Illinois Central Railroad Com.
any official ten days or more pre-
ious to the meeting authorized one
the committee TO say that his
would most willingly put in
side-track and build a protected
assenger platform at the fair
rounds by the time the first fair is
ED. That means that the railroad
will furnish transportation
Or passengers and stock to the fair
rounds and that trains will be run |
3 often as necessary.
