FAIR ASSOCIATION HAS ,
PURCHASED PROPERTY
$4,000 Dollars Paid For Cess
man Farm West of Oakland

Monday morning at a meeting of
the board Of directors of the Garrett
County Fair Association, the pur-
chase of the George Giessman farm.

was authorized, the purchase price
being $4,000.
The property is a portion of the
Bradley farm, located on the out

the purposes intended. There is a
large stretch Of comparatively level
land lying west of the dwelling which
in time may be utilized as a race
course and will give ample room for
the erection of all necessary struc-
lures in connection with such an en-
terprise, while to the east of the
dwelling is a grove of fine old oak
trees affording room for other and
less pretentious buildings.
At this meeting the resignation of
Mr.. w. o. Davis, who has been sec
rotary and treasurer of the Associa-
ton for the past three years, was pre-
sented by Mr.. Davis and accepted by
the board with regret.
To succeed Mr.. Davis as secretary,
Mr.. Arthur Lawton was elected and
as the treasurer of the Association,
Mr.. H. A. Rasche was chosen by the
board of directors.
