The Observer was informed through
the president of the company,, Mr. F. J.
Holmes, that at the October term of the
circuit couit, the M. & M. 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. These erounds
consist of sixty acre of land which val- '
ued from the selling price of adjoining;
land is worth easily $! 50 per acre and
possimy none cou'd be secured at this
price. The improvement viewed from
a fair standpoint are wortn at least $5000
or a total value of SI .000. Mr. Hjlmes
states that he does not l.ke the idea of
i Union county los.ng this valuable propeity
and would meet any kind of a proposition
: half way with a view of maintaining the
grounds. If it is advisable to have a
'county fair annually, this property is too
i va'uahle to he paim fed to pass away.
I I' 1S n,w up to some public spirited per
; son or persons to take ahold of this pro
I position and reorganize the financia1 priJb

ment. Who will do if? The Ohserveh

A Bia noise amd tire
The little fire bug that has been making ,
an occasional flash in this ciy for the j
last three weeks, made another period. c i
appearance this morning. Aoout four j
o'clock this morning the sleeo:ng populace
was awakened by the most frightful con-
glomeration of high pitched, low tuned '
fog horns and whistles, and bell ringing j
that has greeted the human ear for ages j
Every locomotive in the yard was ir.dus-1
trinusly tooting away and even the fire
bell joined the racket making However i
there was a fire alright but the de;art- '
ment was unable to reach it as the bla;e :
was uear the brick yard. Citizens and j
fireman stood about and watched a barn
belonging to Mrs. Gangloff burn to the
ground. Due to the extraordinary amount ;
of fire alarm, people nad the impression '
that the round house or some business I
block was in flames.
