: The fresh i-ripetus given Michigan's state fair during tiie- past two or three years has been due in the main to the  injection -of modern
business methods into its management, and'the inspiration afforded the people of the state to "boost," because of the permanent location of the
grounds so close to the great and immensely popular City of the Straits. Established in 1849, the society has gone through a series of fortunes
and misfortunes—largely the latter—until it became evident a few years ago to » number of its faithful members that the old style of conducting
the fair had become obsolete and that if the enterprise was to flourish in tbe future new blood and new methods must be secured.
La^t year the thousands that attended the great exposition marveled at the accomplishment of the new .management within so short a
time, and from all indioationsit is confidently expected that the people will this year marvel still the more.
In this great work the entire state bas had a part, but it been ihe good fortune for a comparative few ot the counties to furnish men
w'hpse wise counsel, sound'judgement and careful flnauceering bas placed the society upon the high road to future victories. It is a matter of
especial gratification to the people of Glare county to know that one of the handful of business hustlers which has won this fame for Michigan is
one of our foopular citizens and successful business men. To Hon A. J. -Doherty must be and is accorded a full measure of credit for the re-
priarkable change In the condition cf the Michigan State Agricultural Society. Elected to a directorship two years ago< entering immediately
upon the great work of rejuvenation of a decrepid and discouraged organization, his devotion to his duties and the'results, of his efforts coupled
with those of his associates brings feelings of warranted pride to bis neighbors. As chairman of the finance committee he was last year largely
instrumental in misnarling many of the financial tangles which confronted the new management, and so valued proved such service thatthis year
Mr. Doherty holds the extremely responsible position of general superintendent, and to which important duty he is giving his constant thought
and judgement. * »   ■ .
Not content with the honors which such commendable representation brings to her, Glare county, in her humble way is lending farther
efforts toward making the fair what it Is* entended fotr-an exposition of Michigans resources and possibilities in all lines of industry.
With a residence in the county extending
over a quarter century, Dr. I_.Ii. Kelley, of
Surry, as a member of the board of supervisors, felt that the time had arrived when
the generally accepted idea throughout
Southern Michigan that Olaro county was a
barren waste of sand and pine stumps,
should be wiped out, aud that the rapid advancement she was making along agricultural lines be disclosed. He carried the
matter before the board, and at-Jiflrst met

lection of fruits and vegetables was made
and substantial results obtained. The
increased work required by the keen competition necessited still more help and in
1905 the board rery sensibly added J. A.
Jackson to the*, commission, and through
the added efforts of the Clare member the
Exhibit began to assume such proportions
as to cause numerous neighboring counties
to rise up and take notice that Olare county
was forging to the front  at a rapid rate.
been circulated among the fair visitors
setting forth the county's advantages, and
especially to the senior members of the
commission must be ascribed great praise
for the systematic manner in which the exhibit bas been collected and displayed. Un-
liko some other counties, Clare's display
has been collected promiscuously from the
farmers, no market gardeners have been
einployed to give special attention to the
growing of an exhibit at county expense.
