Changes in State Fair Commissioners Promoted
The governor renamed several commissioners to the state fair board with Dr. J. G. Hill replacing Dr. T. B. Gunn as secretary and E. J. Wyman succeeding E. F. Benson. J. E. Shannon was reappointed while President A. J. Splawn remains in office and all commissioners now reside in the county. An enlarged fair appropriation signals strong prospects for next year’s exposition. Also, J. H. Owen was stabbed in a Saloon fight by Tom Perry. Owen is recovering and Perry is jailed awaiting exam.
