On motion the president waa in
teracted to appoint a committee o(
three to racer tain the sentiment of the
butineai men and property owners
The next subject to receive atten.
tioa was the matter of the Union
county exhibit at the fair. Aa the time
approaches is evident that the
amount of money, $500 appropriated
by the county it not sufficient' to make
a, creditable showing and how this
amount mirht be Increaaed waa dis
cussed b many. Mr Oei B Stoddard
opened and presented emobatio views
that unless Union county was proper

raise an amount of $1000 which he
understood "would probably be suffi
cient. :
s jDao Bommers, one of k the .heavy
property f owners of the north end of
the county was of the opinion that
under present oonditiona It might be
well to raise tbe additional funds by
subscription.
; It waa reported that the Elgin Com
mercial Club objected to the La3rande
Commercial Glob being the distribut
ing agent of the entire - fund,1-but Mr
E Smith who waa present asa member
of the Elgin Commercial Club com
mittee who came to be present at this
meeting.' stated that such an idea waa
ill news to-them, and that .they atood
ready to render whatever assistance
ther could, and if tnouev bv nonnUr
subscription was resorted ' 16 1 tbey the' cause
would put up their share.
Commissioner Bloemitein.was ere-1
