The 29th Annual Fair OF Van Bursn COUNTY
will be hello week after next on the commodious
grounds OF the Society.
The citizens OF this county should not forget
that the Far will be just what they make It.
The Directors must have their cordial co-opera-
ton to make it success.
For more than . quarter OF century the
people of this county have gathered annually
and by their efforts the interests OF the Agri-
cultural Society-whlch are their own-have
besn sustained, and its Fairs made success.
Many will attend our Fair week after next who
assisted thirty years ago IN organizing this
Society, and who have labored these many
years for its prosperity. They remember the
first Fair and contrast it with the last, and see
with satisfaction the progress that has been
made but we must not stop here we must
not relax IN our efforts in behalf OF our Agri-
cultural Society. Let our motto be, onward,
Improvement should be our watchword. Let
US make each succeeding Fair superior to the
PoeoOo
In Western Michigan.
County Agricultural Society has become q
necessity. A permanent organization and an
Annual Fair are indispensblein the the severs,
counties, and the enterprise OF the citizens OF
any county can be correctly estimated by the
success Of the Agricultural Society. The Van
Buren, County Society has been we'll sustained
by the people IN the past as il will be in the
future. Then citizens let US gather on our
Fair Ground, week after next, for good time !;
We deserve one and We shall have one. We
have labored hard through the season, and
need few days recreation. We desire to meet
and greet our friends whom we have not seen
since our last Fair.
Farmers, bring your fine stock; you may
we'll be proud OF it. Bring the product of the
fields, the golden grain bring from the Or
chard the luscious fruit, and from the garden.
the necessary and useful vegetable mechanics,
bring the products OF your industry and sin
genuity; merchants and others are solicited to
place on exhibition, samples OF their wares and
merchandise. And last but not least, ladies
upon you depends IN a great degree the sue
cess OF our coming Fair. Floral Hall is the
grand center, around .hich all other depart
ments cluster. Endeavor to make it attractive.
Bring specimens Of your handiwork let there
be no bare walls in your department. DO not
forget the flowers, the lovsliest OF natures
productions, but endeavor to make the flower
stand monument of brightness and beauty.
The premiums offered are necessarily small,
from the fact that the Sosiety Is IN debt; the
grounds and fixtures cost . large sum Of
money; the Board Of Directors are anxious to
free the Society from debt, and when that 10
accomplished, more, and larger premiums can
be offered. The Oficers and Directors neces-
sarily spend much valuable time In the inter-
ests Of the Society without remuneration, and
they do so most chserfully. All money re-
celved after paying the absolutely necessary
expenses, will be applied on the indebtedness
Of the Society. Then come one come all-the
grounds will be in order, md ample provision
made for the comfort OF man and animals.
The Officers and Directors will endeavor to
make it pleasant for all who may attend our
Goth Annual FAIR.
