Headquartert 'JERSEYVILLE Pair Ground to Have New Qrandtund By Next Year At a meeting of dome of the citizens of Jertayvtlle on Tuesday even- Ing with the officials of the Jersey County fair Association, It was decided to immediately start work on preparations for building and erecting a new grandstand for the fair grounds for next year. A wind Btorm this year on "Big Thursday," blew the canopy oft the grandstand and twisted the upright timbers, so that It Is useless to repair the old grandstand. It is estimated that a grandstand to be made of steel and concrete, with booths underneath to be rented tor concessions and boxes in front, would cost approximately $7,600. The grandstand would seat about 2,000. peopfys.

At this meeting three propositions were presented. First, It was hoped that 11000 people In Jersey County would be willing to contribute $7.50 each for a Beat in the grandstand. Another proposition was for at Jeast 'fifty people to 'donate $100 each, the balance to be raised by donations of from $60 down to $10. The third proposition was for a stock company to be formed which would build the grandstand and take the money from the Bale of seats and boxes each year until the full amount had been refunded to them, without interest It was thought best to charge 25c per seat on the grand stand until the building had been paid tor, and at that time the grand aland would revert to the Fair Association. It was decided at this meeting to as much as possible by donation and the balance to be raised I by, a stock company.

A committee was named consisting of Clarence G. Reddish, of the Fair Association, Wm. F. Shephard, mayor, of Jerseyvllle, Wm. F.

Hanley, cashier of the State Bank, and Dr. F. D. McMahon, secretary of the Fair Association, to proceed at onee to ward, plans for "the erection' of the grandstand. The Jersey County Democrat and the Jerseyvllle Republican, the only two newspapers in Jersey county, have agreed to erect in connection with the grandstand, a press box for the use of the press of Jersey county and all surrounding counties, and the editors of the nearby, newspapers will be welcome to this press box.
