HISTORY OF MIAMI COUNTY.

The first quarterly meeting of the Miami County Agricultural Society was held December 5, 1846, at which, an appropriation was made for the purchase of a library, after which, Mr. Thomas, President of the society, addressed the meet- ing on the subject of " Scientific Husbandry," which was discussed in a masterly manner, and listened to with rapt attention, by an appreciative audience. That his remarks had a practical bearing, may be inferred from the fact, that the board immediately resolved that the circulation of the Ohio Cultivator among the mem- bers, would be highly conducive to their interests, and the same was therefore recommended to the farmers for their patronage. The library was purchased in the winter of 1846, about $70 having been previously appropriated for that pur- pose. The second annual election of officers took place September 9, 1847, with the following results :

William J. Thomas, President ; David Jenkins, William C. Knight, and Cyrus Haywood, Vice Presidents ; D. H. Morris, Corresponding Secretary ; G. D. Burgess, Recording Secretary and Librarian ; Jacob Knoop, Treasurer.

the Fair Grounds, for exhibition purposes ; the size of which was to be 36x72 feet, and to defray the expenses of this building, a funded debt was created, and a permanent lien on the grounds of the society was given. A committee of two was then appointed to negotiate a loan of $500 which amount was obtained from William Brown, and a note given for the same, payable in one year from July 9, 1857.

At a meeting of the society held March 19, 1859. it was resolved to open for competition to all the counties adjoining Miami all premiums on every grade of stock, and to "invite them to compete with us," giving them previous notice of the amount and kinds of stock to be provided. It was further resolved, that, in consequence of the great increase of visitors, it was necessary to purchase more ground for the better accommodation of persons attending sub- sequent fairs. Accordingly, the old grounds were increased by an addition of the ground purchased of the railroad company, for which the society agreed to pay the sum of $100 per acre, the whole to be paid in two equal installments.

The society met, upon the death of Daniel French, and passed a resolution expressing the loss experi- enced by the society in the death of one of its most efficient members, whose exam- ple as a citizen and agriculturist was well worthy of general imitation. The society tendered their sympathy to the family and friends in their unexpected bereavement, and caused a copy of their resolution to be presented to them ; also to be inserted in the county papers and entered on the minutes of the society.

The new County Fair Grounds were purchased of Mrs. E. Mckaig, in December, 1871. The grounds con- tained thirty-eight and one-half acres, for which they agreed to pay her at the rate of $200 per acre. The old grounds were then divided into lots containing one acre, when it was found that there were seventeen lots in all, which were sold at auction the 17th of April, 1872, the total receipts for the same being $4,655, after which the dwelling-house and other buildings on the ground were sold for the sum of $223, making a grand total of $4,878 for the old ground and its appurtenances.
