The fair will be held jin the building just across from the {fire department or the same place when l it was held three years ago. I what kind of a fair are we going to (have this year?

The splendid spirit of 'cooperation shown by the business men ! in the [iast will. 1 fee! positive, be dem I oust rated in putting the fair over this ! year. With united efforts on the part of all of us. I see no reason for not having a real good collection of agri cultural products, livestock, home sup j plies, handwork, canned goods and the like. Prizes will be ribbons as has been (the custom in the past. The fair will help to create more interest in the agricultural development in the county. It will aford a most ex cellent opportunity for people from all over the county to meet, discuss the dif ferent phases of farming along with other things of mutual interest. See and show what is being done In the dif ferent parts of the county. As I see it. regardless of the extra work and ex pense it will be well worth all 't costs. Again let me Insist that every one who can help with the fair do so and begin now to make plans to exhibit something very outstanding. We are not looking for the amount so much this year as the quality of the exhibit.
