ty fair in Esmeralds again this year.
1t says: "Last year the farmers got
up fair In Mason Valley, and con.
sidering the limited notice given res
idents of the county and the outside
world. there was good showing
and better attendance than we ex-
pected to see. This year it is propos-
ed to hold another county fair in the
same place, Greenfield, which affords
better grounds and accommodations
for the purpose than any other local
ity in the county. In order make
the fair complete success both in
point Of exhibits and attendance, the
proper officers of the society should
get together at an early date, arrange
the programme and give notice of
the time it is to take place. Let the
gentlemen who have the matter in
hand stir themselves at once and Es-
meralda county can have fair Sec
ond to none ever held in this State. :"
