The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-01-08
Meeting of Life Mem bers of Fred
erick County Agricultural
Society.

The Frederick County Agricultural
Society cleared almost ten thousand
dollars at the last annual fair. This
evidence OF an unprecedented success
full fair was produced at the annual
meeting of the association held Sat
urday morning. The net earnings of
the society were $9,0S1.25, nearly dou-
BILE those of 1913 The net indebted
ness of the society is $4,000.
One OF the greatest surprises of the
meeting, even outside of the large amount
earned by the society, was the defeat of
Mr.. Martin K. Kefauver as one of the
directors of the Agricultural Society.
Mr.. kefauver had been identified with
the many arduous duties required for
many years. Last year he was vice
president. and many thought that the
long Practice of rotation in Office would
make him president this year. He has
been one of the most active of the
younger officers Of the society, and his
defeat wat more than regret to his
many friends. A number of proxies
were voted, and it is said that fight had
been quietly waged to secure the defeat
of Mr.. Kefauver and two other of the
candidates for directors. There was only
one change however, and Mr.. Charles D.
Walker of near Monrovia was the lucky
party. Those who were candidates for
the Board of Directors and the votes they
received follows: David Cramer, 10;
Lee Ranneberger, los; G. A T. Snouf
fer, LOG; John w. Humm. 1O6; J. H.
Allnutt, los; George S. Rodock. 100;
