Several men were asked to take the

they interposed hasty thanks and
say nay, However, Commissioner
London stated that he believed that
some good man from the Third ward
would be patriotic enough TO step for

by the recent resignation. At any
rate, they will be given an opportunity
of doing so, and in the meantime,
the affairs of the city will be ad-

CARTER CO.

FREE FAIR
COUNTY CoMMlSS SSloNERS ADOPT
FREE FAIR BILL. TOWNSHIPS

OF ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday afternoon the board OF
county commissioners adopted the free
fair bill, and next year Carter county
will have big free fair at the fair
grounds. The townships Will be given
an opportunity by the county agent OF
holding elections Immediately for the
selection Of members to the fair asso

fairs another year. An election will
be held in this city the 18th, to per.
feet the organization and plan for a
big event in 1916.
With the levy of one-fourth of one
mill authorized by law, sufficient funds
can be raised in this county to have a
fine fair, and it is now up to the city
to provide the necessary grounds and
buildings to hold the fair. Fortunately
the city owns a fine tract of land, to.
gether with a halfmile track that was
formerly the fair grounds, and with
very little money the fair can be start.
ed, and made a paying institution af-
ter the first year. The county commits
sioners stated that they would have
been willing to have adopted the bill
in time to have a fair this fall, but
they did not believe the citizens as
a whole were in favor of it, but when
they were shown that they were, it
was theiI, duty to grant the request of
the taxpayers. Every one of the coun-
ty commissioners stated this morning
that they could be depended upon to
lend every possible aid to the enter
prise and help the citizens of Ardmore
toward erecting suitable buildings and
a grand stand in order that Carter
would have a county fair sec
oDd to none in the state. Ardmore is
fortunate in as much as
several citizens have had considerable
experience with county fairs and also
that many horsemen live here who
have some fine steppers Of their own
and can get up a most attractive pro.
gram. For the past year Mr.. Baird
and other horse fanciers have kept up
the track at the old fair grounds at
their own expense, and the announce
ment that Carter county was to have
a fair another year, was hailed with
delight by them this morning.
