There are eeveral reasons why this date is net satisfactory to tbe county, and if tbe county bad bad an oppor tunity of selecting a date, the middle of Jnne wonld m-vsr have been aelect ed. Cironlt qnon will be in aeaaioo at ibis time, which, will prevent many of our prominent business men from at tending. Again f Union county made an effort to capture tbe fair for one day we would natnrslly take pride in our county exhibit there, and would make it one of tbe day. '. Now, on June 13 we will have nalruits to exhibit, no berries, eheniea or anything, but what baa been kept over ia jars from' last MMin. This mailt r was thoroughly discussed laat even lug and It waa prac tically decided that we did not now have time to arouse au interest to se cure a creditable representation for this date. Mr Halktk ires' present, representing tbe Lewis and Clark fair, and stated that it was Im possible to se cure a change of date and spoke of the advantagee of mak iig a I howiog ao oordiog to tbe official, program. A committee vu appointed to visit the people of tbe city and ascertain it they thought it possible to arrange at this late day lor auoh a showing as Union ooonty could make if the circumstan ces were favorable. , , . c- There is no question but that if this bonnty could get tbia date postponed, that the county would arrange for a Union county day; and would godown there in force, and the way. we l'beei pullers" would set a pace for our web footed brethern would not be alow. - This Fair offers aa opportunity for ome first Class advertising, but to be effective it will require some careful preparation, and if given time we can do it with credit to our aunty and state.
