board of health pi oscntod his annual report ai follova acton agricultural society last year when the esqoesiug agricul tural society arranged for the annual ex hibition to be held in georgetown when acton ww justly entitled to it there was considerable talk here about the organiza tion of a union agricultural society with headquarters at acton in order to secure au annual exhibition here so that the fanners and others in this section might have an opportunity of participating in an exhibition without being obliged to travel six or eishf miles every year to do so whether the organization of an independent society would be an advisable proceeding or not is a subject for debate but at all events if those interested intend to form the society proposed and arrange for an exhibition this fall the time is at hand when they must bestir themselves in the matter and make aneffort if success is eventually to be assured there is little doubt if the matter is taken earnestly in hand that movement towards instituting a new society would be readily endorsed by our citizens and the farmers generally of this section no town nor city has park and grounds more suitable for exhibition purposes than acton and it seems to us that a joint stock com pany with sufficient capital to errect a commodious exhibition hall and other buildings upon a class superior to those generally in use by township agricultural societies could be organized with compara tively little effort especially would this be the case if plans were secured for a building which might be utilized for both an exhibition building and a fotjn rink and indeed a grand stand might also be arranged for at the same time with addi tional- j attraction and to the profit and successof the scheme if anything is to be done ndw
