THE DISTRICT FilR-GO0D WORDS FE8H THE
NEWSPAPERS,

From the Ellsworth Reporter we clip
the following:
Dickinson, Ottawa, Saline, Lincoln,
Ellsworth, Mcpherson, and Russell coun-
tlcs have agreed, we believe, to partci-
pate in District FAIR, to take place
in Saina some time about the begin
ming of October Full details will have
been agreed upon by the time the next
copy Of The Reporter is published. We
believe as stated in Il previous issue,
the Fair can be made . grand success,
and We hope the people will make their
preparations al once 10 send something,
and go themselves. We cont really
realize our own resources. We believe,
without doubt, Central Kansas can
eclipse anything that has ever been done
agriculturaIly b. any portion ofthe State.
Our grain, grasses, and vegetable pro-
ducts are ahead Of anything we have
seen recorded. Let US unite 10 make
this one of the grandest opponents Of
the agricultural possibility of the State
that the world has ever seen. We can do
it, and VIC shall find ourselves as much
as'onished as the rest, for we do not fair
~ understand how much we have,
worthy of the object.
The Minneapolis Sentinel says:
We learn from the Salina JOURNAL
that Central and Western Kansas Dis
trict Fair has been decided upon, to be
held at Saina about the lst Of October.
Ottawa, Saline, Dickinson, Lincoln, Nc
PhersoR and Ellsworth are to be invited
to participate. This is a good project
and will be Fair worth something,
without doubt If six of the best coun-
ties in the State attempt 4 matter Ike
this.lt Is efficiently guaranteed that 1t viii
be eminently successful. When we arc
made acquainted with the fac, that there
is 70 bc no State Fair ~ fall To occupy
our attention, we would be more than
ever in favor OF District Falr in Cen
trail Kansas.
Salina would be good place to hold
such Fair, i: being centrally located.
Its people are pcaceable and obliging,
and the counties surrounding ii are set
tied with class who by their industry
can shaw more and better specimens Of
agriculture, &c, than any section of
equal extent in the State. but our Salina
friends will please remember that Otta-
wa county proposes To have Fair about
the lst of October; that We are spending
meny and bending every effort TO make
ii q success that ii Is too late now To- re-
trace our steps in that direction, and
that If the District FAIR l. coming at the
same time or Is crowded upon the heels
OF our Fair, thereby iujuyjuE oar own
interests, we could rot participate. has
II the District FAR could ba par-i mt
about the 10Th or 18th OF October. ii
would then give Us IN opportunity TO
attend our own, after which We could
transport our show goods 10 Salina. If
arrangements of this kind are made we
would be glad IN participate, and lend
our best efforts TO further its interests.
As the District Fair is to take place
on October 6, : ami 5, the Sentinel vail
perceive there can be 10 trespassing OF
the District Fair on the arrangements
made for the Ottawa county fair. A
correspondent of the Ssa'incl also urges
a District Fair in the following woris
As there is no State Fair to be held,
it has been decided To bold n District
Fair at Saiina. To come Oft at about the
same time as our own. While we would
by no means wish our people 10 neglect
our own local fair, we do urge them 70
take hand 10 the District Fair also.
II will, doubtless. follow ours, and much
,haI is on exhibition here could be east
Is taken 10 SaiiBa tor exhibition there
also. Let US then 20 10 work with true
western vim, and ~ these two fairs,
demonstrate 10 the world that the -rea;
valley of the Solomon is the richest
valley in its agricultural capacities in
he State, and Ottawa county the best
ssricaiiural county in Central Kansas.
The Lincoln Center Pstri5t says:
The Gran-ors Al their meeting last
decided 10 hold what they
all County Fair but they 10 not
organize under the laws Of tho State
