It is expected that the Cedar County school officers will meet with the Fair Board to discuss further steps toward the election of the hall, within the next two weeks. Several districts voting in favor of sending money to the fund are expecting to make the remittance early next week, after which the total is expected to reach such a figure that work can be begun soon on the new building.
With the increase of exhibits made in the Schools this year, an even larger interest in the Cedar County Fair has been started among the children and in the homes of the county.

HARTINGTON- At home in the smallest house in Cedar County is Rudolph Golter, now stationed at Coleridge, but for just how long is not known, for with his house on wheels Mr. Golter moves about according to his mood.
For the present, he seems to like Cedar County. For the most home furnishings in the smallest house in the County, Mr. Golter holds the record. Complete with drapes and curtains on the five windows, flower vases on the cupboard table built against one wall, fine linen on the Davenport bed, shower- bath arrangement, and ice box. In fact, everything that can be found in a five-room house can be found in this one-room cabin.
