Upon the suggestion of Secretary Sisler it was decided to secure the ; services of an expert in the selec- tiom and placing of the coumity’s ex- hibit upon its arrival at the fair grounds.

The meetmg was not as largely jattended as it should have been, but the Heraid-Review believes that in, point of importance it was secx ond to none that the association, has lately held.
