Strength in Amalgamatsd Copper dur

BILE stock of the metal has shrunk 2,O00,-

means that foreign consumers have re-

example of the foreign trade and pur

sales is likely.

CITIZENS WANT TO

holders New Shares Will be
Issued and Much Better
Fair Will be Held

A number of the representative
business men of Columbus at
tended a mass meeting at the
city hall Thursday night to devise
plans for the next annual fair to
be held here the coming fall, and
to discuss the financial conditions
Of the association, which is in
debt.
The fair here has not been a
paying proposition lately, because
so little interest has been mani
tested by the business men of
Columbus. Other cities, Meri-
dian for instance. are declaring
dividends each year. and where
ever fairs have succeeded the
citizens have pulled together,
and especially the business men
have been interested with their
time and money.
1t was for the purpose of
arousing more enthusiasm that
this meeting was held, and other
meetings will follow until it is
known Just what steps will be
necessary to insure a successful
fair.
1t was proposed at the meeting
Thursday night that the present
stockholders giyeuptheir shares.
fif agreeable, and Segin anew
with stock amounting to $40, 900.
Out of this sum. all of the in
debtedness could be liquidated
and the fair grounds put into
proper shape, and besides, there
would be enough money to offer
suitable premiums to induce peo-
pie to come and compete for
them. A call meeting will be
held on Wednesday afternoon at
the court house at 2 O'Clock to
discuss the new proposition and
the results will be known later.
To begin the fair over citizens
feel that if the business is
managed properly, it can keep
from getting in debt, as hereto
fore.
