Several short talks settling forth the benefirs to be derived from such an organization and a strong effort will be made within the next few weeks to sell enough stock to put up the necessary additional buildings.

Albert Unit, John McGeath and Levi Huffman were appointed a committee to solicit stock.

There seems to be not question as to all wanting a fair, but probably I. d. Scott smoke a truth for others than himslef when he said that the wanted the fair but wanted others to give it. It is should not be the feeling for a [illegible] conducted fair will be of much [illegible] to all find everyone should be [illegible] to do his part toward giving [illegible] [illegible] as well as otherwise it is not expected that everyone will be able to take two or three hunder dollars worth of stock but there are few at the terms of payment and will be offered who cannot afford to take one or two shares of $25. [illegible] one interesed in the fair and will that he would realy like to see such an organization in Montpelier would take one share it would not be [illegible] until it could be announced that Montpelier would next year have best fair in not been Indiana this over and have your pencil their the solicitor calls.
