Thai Cabarrus Countv is lo have a big county fair each year is indicated as iho result of a meeting Monday nigln of a number of citizens oV the county who are interestisl in such a project. / While little definite action on tin* proposition was taken at the meeting, those persons behind the movement point out that everything that was possible was done, and inter est demonstrated in the meeting indi cates it hat the proposition eventually will be most successful. Temporary officers chosen at the meeting wore T. V fc?pencer, chair man and W. A. Foil set-rotary. On a motion by L. T. Hartsell, a committee composed ol 1 >r. Spencer. J. F. Cannon and 11. A. Goodman was authorized to soli,it funds for the company. .Vs. scam as sufficient funds are subscribed the company will he of ficially named and incorporated.- The amount of incorpora I ion has not ■ boon definitely decided upon. After the charter has been received tlu* stock holders will meet and elect the direct ors. who in turn will choose the per manent officers of the company. At the meeting Monday night a num ber of si.ooo subscriptions were pledg ed. and it is believed that within the next several days the number of sub scribers will be greatly increased. It is planned now to erect the lair ground at the old Sims farm, about two miles west of Concord. The farm is now the property of Mr. .1. ! Can non. and at the meelitig Mr. Cannon stated Hmt lie would charge tto rent to the fair company for the (irst live years of the company’s lift*. It is plan ned—to start the fair grounds at the intersection of the roads leading to Charlotte and to the l’oplar Tent road. The persons hacking the proposition declared at the meeting 1-hat for some time there had been a popular demand in Concord for a fair ground and a yearly fair, and for this reason they have started the movement which, when completed, will meet this de mand. The proposed site for the grounds is ideally situated, and since tlit* company will have no rent to pay for live years, most of the money sub scribed can bo used in laying off and building the track and many structures that will be noodml on the grounds. The site for the fair is easily reach ed from every part of the county. It is connected with Concord by a line hard surfaced road, and persons in almost every section of the county can reach it over an improved road. Tin* tract offered by Mr. Cannon provides enough land for all the needs of a modern fair grounds, and the lay of the land is considered -ideal for the proposition. During the past several years coun ty fairs have proved very successful in other counties in the State, and the men behind this movement feel that such a fair would prove successful here. The fair would give the country people an opportunity to display their farm products, and their livestock and at the same time enjoy amusements and social intercourse. A stockholders meeting of the com pany will he held in the near future, and more definite plans concerning the company will he made at that meeting, when officers will Ik* chosen.
