A Call to the Farmers and Business Men
ol Chesterfield County to Meet at
Chesterfield, December 3rd.
A crisis has been reached in the life of the Chesterfield
County Fair. The lease upon the present Fair Ground is
about to expire. The Fair Association has purchased ten
acres of ground in the western edge of Chesterfield, but all ihe
funds in the treasury/ after paying expenses of this years
fair, have been exhausted in paying for this land. Funds
are absolutely necessary with which to erect buildings on the
new Fair ground. The officials of the County Fair realize
that heretofore the Fair has been operated with inadequate
facilities, but thev have done the best possible, handicapped
as they were by lack of funds.
The Chesterfield County Fair Association has $653.00
worth of outstanding stock, and this is their sole liability.
The assets are a tract of land worth Fifteen Hundred Dollars,
and about $1000,00 worth of lumber and roofinir. thus it will
be seen that tlieir assets are four times their liability. In order
to raise sufficient funds with which to fence the land,
erect a large exhibit building, adequate housing facilities for
livestock, cattle, swine, poultry and all otlier proper buildings,
it has been decided to increase the capital stock of the Fair
Association to $5000, M), and every farmer and business man
ot Chesterfield* County is herewith invited to subscribe for
any number of shares they desire; par value of shares being
One Dollar each.
We herewith call a public }meeting at Court Mouse for
eleven o'clock, a. m., the first Monday in December next,
same being the 3rd, and we invite every one interested in
the prosperity of tl e Chesterfield County Fair and of Chesterfield
County to be present at this meeting, and then and
there subscribe to stock in the County Fair.'paying their subscriptions
in cash. We are satisfied that there are hundreds
of people in this County who are willing to put their money
in the County Fair in order to insure its future success,
and this public appeal is made to each and every one to
be present in the Court House the first Monday, at eleven
o'clock, a. m? and then ana there purchase Jshares of stock in
the Fair and participate in the stockaolders meeting called
for that time, when directors and officers will be elected for
next year.
