FAIR GROUNDS ESTABLISHED.
In the fall of 1867 the people OF
the county began to agitate the
question of organizing a county ag'
ricultural society, and the project
meeting general approval, a meeting
was called to take steps toward eff
fecting an organization. The meet
ing convened at the courthouse and
elected temporary officers, appointed
committees to draft bylaws and
rules, etc. T. A. Conklin was chair.
man of that organization. Several
meetings were held during the win
ter, and early in the spring, every
thing was in readiness for a perma-
nent organization. This was effect
ed by the election of Judge S. L.
~ IL.
child, secretary. The committee ap-
pointed for the purpose selected the
grounds south of Rosenkranss' park
they were purchased at $50 per
acre, and the society borrowed $500
of the county with which to make
the cash payment therefor. The
grounds were cleared up, fenced and
race track one-third of a mile in
length made, and the first fair held
on the grounds began Septem Der
80, 1868, and was to last two days.
On account of rain the first day, the
time was extended to three days.
The fair was regarded as a success
and annual fairs were held there
for about twelve years. But the So
ciety was never able to pay the
county the money borrowed and at
last the grounds were turned over
to the county. The old society is
now extinct. The grounds they i'm
proved now form one of the finest
parks in the state and when public
meetings are held there, it is inter-
esting to hear the pioneers of the
county recall the happy incidents of
early life connected with, and
brought to memory, by a visit TO
these grounds But the rumbling of
the iron horse is heard in the dis
lance and we must turn to an in
vestigation of the history of it's COM
ing and attending incidents.

His life was an open book; his exem-
plary conduct the religion OF his con-
science; his innate sense OF justice the
cult of his soul. the silent shine where
worshipped all the forces of the emo
tons of his nature. The puritanism
of his heart disclosed only the un
quenchable love for the sanctity Of
home the sacreduess of domestic hap
piness, mans hymn dedicated to home

treatment OF his fellow man. Human

its pains and pie: sures the prayer OF
his life wotk Without the devouring
mhifton of King or ruler, perhaps
also lack ing the attribute of bri!lian-

sire for fitting plaudits OF men and

much majesty and authority, with the
life of sincerity and vitallzing honesty
