To make Floral Hall attractive,
interesting and worthy the efforts being
put forth by the officers of the Blue
Earth County Agricultural Society no
lack of willingness and personal interest
should DC suffered to gain control of our
ladies', as upon them depends every
thing The chairman on Decoration of |
the hall, requests us to extend TO each
and all the ladies in the county who |
have the welfare of our FAIR at heart, to |
unite in sending samples of fancy needle
and crochet work, bed spreads, en-
brOidery, lace work, etc, etc. Much in
this particular line is anticipated from
the ladies of MankatO, and the collec-
ton that might be gathered from this
city alone would make Floral Hall
beam with beauty and elegance. 1t is
to be hoped that each one will take an
interest in this matter, and not wait for
some one else to move.
