PREPARE for the County Fair; NIcr-

of Manitowoc should vie with the farm
ers in bringing something interesting for
the exhibition, and send in their lists to
the Secretary as early as possible. Most
every family has something worth TAX
ing to the Fair; let it help to swell the
interest and increase the number of en-
tries, thus making the show credit to
our county, and pleasant and useful to
all who attend. The Fair will commence
on the tenth of next month and continue
for two days; the officers are determined
to make it as attractive as possible, but
they must have the hearty support of
our citizens to make it success.
