It we can do both ot these things, it. will necessarily mean a great deal ot time and attention and , hard work.- On the elevator proposi tion, we have - several sets of plana on hand now and our committee ls -expected ?o push the matter. It will depend entirely on tho farmers wheth er or not we can put it over. We do not underestimate tue problem. The secretary also recommends that plana i be put in motion as Boon aa possible [for a County fair, along modern and up-to-date lines, for next year. This can be done on the right baals, and made to pay. even it we have to lease lund. These two things, both Of which are badly needed and will be of great good, might well be the basia of sev eral months work. In addition, to these we have to put on a campaign shortly- probably in December, for tho first night tickets to the Opera House, also handle the 1615 chautauqua The secretary recommends that a general meeting of this body be held -<some time shortly, and at such meeting we dlscUBS and act upon these proposi tions. We should be able to make this general meeting interesting, having a talk on street paving plans, possible city market, etc. Also, ideas for the county fair and talk on the grain sit uation."
