• Notes

  Cumberland County Agricultural Society was organized in 1854, through the instrumentality of Judge Watts. It has been a well managed and prosperous institution from its first existence to the present, holding its annual meetings (the only failures in this respect being one or two years during the late war), and the interest and good influences that have marked its career are plainly evidenced allover the county. The society purchased the first lot of ground, containing six acres and six perches, August 1855, and have at different times made additional purchases, until they now have enclosed and in a high state of improvement twenty two acres, a fine half-mile driving track, amphitheater, boarding houses, halls, booths, pens and all other necessary buildings of a substantial and commodious are on the grounds. In short, everything necessary to conduct a first class county fair has been prepared in an untainted manner. There are 200 life members, and the directors run in institute in a liberal and generous spirit, paying out on an average, each year, in premiums, from $2000. to $2500. The following is a list of the officers of the society: First corps of officers: President, Frederick Watts; vice-presidents, And. Frasier, Skiles Woodburn, Richard Parker; treasurer, Geo. W Stouffer; managers, Chas. Tetzel, Samuel Myers, Robert Laird. Geo. Brindle, John Paul, Jos. Calver, Wm. Schriver, Robert Bryan and Robert G. Young.
