Company would foreclose their mortgage which they hold against the fair grounds, amount ing in all to abou $11,000. Mr. Holmes stated that nothing would he done until after the present fair was held. This resolves itself down to the fact that something must he done and that in the immediate future or Un on county will have no fair ground.
