MOBERLY GROUNDS SOLD

On February 3, at the COURT House
door in this city, the Moberly Fair
Grounds, located south of town. will
be sold under a deed of trust, says
the Moberly Monitor.
The grounds were purchased several
years ago by a corporation of Mo
berry citizens doing business under
the anne Of the Moberly Fair and Ag-
rieultural Association. Debts accu-
mulated, and the directors hoped that
the fair last year would aid them in
paying these bills.
But the directors were disappoint-
ed. The fair last year was not a
financial success In fact, instead of
giving them money with which to pay
of the accumulated debts, an essess-
ment had to be made to pay the ex-
pense Of the fair.
Then came a note due for a sum of
money which the association could
not raise, and now the sale under a
deed Of trust follows.

Senator Cook said the trust comma

He said it was possible the Jefferson

occupies quarters, had bought coal
from the Warden during the fuel
