We have been asked number OF times late
ly when the sedgwick County Fair was to be
held. By referring to the premium list, which
Is out in pamphlet form and can be had by
asking for it at almost any store in town, we
see that it commences October 81 and con-
tinuing four days. They offer good list OF
premiums. The fairs heretofore have not
been as attractive, profitable aud interesting
as they might have been, simply from the fact
that the people from the country, as general
thing, did not take any interests in them. Inc
society is lending every effort towards making
it success, and if each farmer, mechanic ana
artisan will contribute something and lend
their presence during the exhibition, or part
of the time, 1t viii be success. Such one
as Will be a credit to themselves and the
county.
