Butte County Agric ultural Fair.

Wewoud urge upon the attention of our citi-
zens the fact that the Butte County Agricultural
Society will hold IFS first annual fair at Chico,
mencing the second day of October, and closing
on the 5th. We are assured by the management
that it gives promise of abundant success, and
trust that our farmers and stock owners will all
participate in the effort to make it among the best
comfy fairs in the State. Chico is the finest agr
cultural township in the State, and it is proper
that it should take pride in augurating an agri
cultural society for the county. 1t will afford them
an opportunity to display the wonderful products
of their valuable SOIL their stock, their manufac
lures, and the progress of the county in the arts
and sciences By inviting agriculturists from 9TH
er sections of the State hither. they will be ena
bed to institute comparison of soil and product,
and either demonstrate their superiority. or profit
by the knowledge thus gained. 1t should not be
expected by those who may desire to participate
as exhibitors that this initial fair should offer high
premiums That can be done when the county has
demonstrated, should now be done, its purpose
Of making the Butte County Agricultural Society
a permanent Institution, and its annual exhibitions
pride and profit to our people. The people of
Chico have done nobly in the endesvor - establish
and build up such society for this county. They
deserve the encouraging attendance OF every one
interested IN the prosperity and advancement of
the county and their home interests. Go and see
what the county can do. If you have nothing to
exhibit go and see hat others have. and you will
not return home entirely unbeneited. for You will
undoubtedly see something that You can excel if
You try. II is not the mere pride of excelling,
however, and carrying of premium that should
be the incentive. The advancement of the perma-
interest of the county. in which every property
holder is interested, and all may be benefited,
is the grand consideration that should induce our
people to make this society permanent and success
