rousing public meeting held by the
Chamber Of Commerce here last
night it was decided to offer treas
ury stock of the Henry County
Fair association for sale in order
to meet outstanding obligations
keep the fair in existence. The
meeting was attended by residents
from miles around Cambridge, all OF
whom were enthusiastically in ia
vor of doing everything possible to
relieve the financial situation faced
by the association and continue the
fair, which has annually attracted
thousands of people to Cambridge.

the fair associations liabilities.

ing offered at S. each, with the
understanding that unless the to-
tai of $500 is raised by Aug. Is,

there will be a general response
to the call for subscriptions. In
