Citizens Of Floyd county, to you We
look confidently, to make our Fourth |
Annual Exhibition the best that has
yet been held in the county. The d.
rectors have done all that they can
do; they have offered you large pre-
NUNS on all articles that you manu-
factnre or produce. And if you will
enroll your names on the Socicty's
books, pay your dotiar,--it will admit
yourselves, wives and babies, and en-
title You to enter as many articles as
you wish,-bring along your horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep, and let your
wives bring their butter, cheese and
everything else you have.--no matter
il you do not draw the first premium,
you may the second, and if you do not
draw any, everything yon enter will
add to the interest Of the fair.
The citizens of Floyd will make
ample provision for all who attend,
and it is hoped that each Marshal will
strive to bring in the largest process
sion from his own town.
