Two Richmonds in the Field.
A correspondent in our nameSake
town, Richmond, Mo-, writes US as
follows: "The $4,000 already paid in
for the erection of livestock show
and sale pavilion at Richmond, is Just
a starter. and the campaign to raise
large fund is going stronger than
ever. We are now going to give the
entire county a chance to join in this
enterprise"
This reminds US that our live stock
farmers and more especially our pure
bred men, have mapped out rather
ambitious program for club shows and
live stock exhibits this fall We are
sure Richmond will lend a hand to
this enterprise and should be able to
count on the cooperation of the entire
, county. A show ground and sales
pavilion should make a strong appea!
, There should be room and all the
facilities needed TO put on a fall fes
tival, or city or county fair. barring
race track, but including space for
athletic sport contests, etc. All of this
! is some distance in the future but il
is time we were making some sort OF
start, as outlined at meetings held
! during the past winter.
