Tribute to Former Secretary
superintendent A. c. Kingsford
on Wednesday afternoon in the
grandstand paid a tribute to the
Hate S. A. Pelton, for twenty -fve
years secretary of the Sank lCoun
| ty Agricultural society. The
speaker said that things in this
world were not always equalized
as they should be, that is, that
all are not rewarded alike. In
history there is not always dire
recognition, no great reward is
always gained. AS to Mr.. Pelton,
he never received the pay that
| he should for his effort but his
reward was in making the fair
better year after year Fairs about
Baraboo have ceased to be but
the one of which Mr.. Pelton was
secretary went on, all because
the fair was nearest his heart. He
thought fair most of the time.
The speaker declared that 1t
was necessary to have amuse-
ments but that they were only the
sugar coating, the real kernel
being the educational features.
Because Mr.. Pelton had built up
such a splendid fair, because it
was his monument, Mr.. Kingsford
said it was we'll to pause and pay
the former secretary a deserved
tribute
