Newton Abbot: The Devon County Agricultural Association: A meeting was held on Wednesday, at the Town Hall, Newton Abbot, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, to discuss the suggestion of inviting the Devon County Agricultural Association to hold its next Exhibition in the town. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. J. Watts, and there were also present – Messrs. W. Vicars., D. R. Scratton, E. Ford, F. Watts, J. W. Rowell, J. W. Steer, J. Pinsent, C. Stevens, H. Mills, J. Chapple, L. E. Stidworthy, W. Russell, E. Huxtable, L. T. Scammell, H. Scawen, F. A. Stacey, C. Chapple, and others. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that with regard the desirability of inviting the Association there could be no two questions, because it was not only a duty that they owed—especially in these depressed times—to the agriculturists, but also to the labourers, to aid as far as lay in their power in bringing the means of agriculture under their immediate notice.
