Our County Fair.

The time for holding the Blue Earth
County Agricultural Fair is rapidly APP.
preaching, and we take this Opportuni-
ty to impress upon the farmers the i'm
portance OF preparing something for
the exhibition. 1t has become IL well
established fact that there is nothing
occurring throughout the year which SO
thoroughly unites the agricultural IN.
terests of our country and make the
farmers and their families so content
with their honOred pursuit as these an
nual gatherings, where common ex-
change of views and a pleasant inter-
change of ideas are INDUCED in by all.
1t is the purpose OF the officers in
charge to make the coming Fair the
most interesting exhibit ever produced
in Southern Minnesota, but all their eff
forts will avail naught unless those for
whose especial benefit it IS given take
hold and do all within their power to
make 1t such. The crops which now
promise such abundant returns, will
have been garnercd ere the exhibition
takes place, and there appears no rea-
son why all cannot take hold with a
mutual feeling of interest and make this
what it is designed-a purely agricul-
tural show. Ample provisions will he
made for the care of stock and good
stabling provided, so that all who feel
like showing their fine-bred cattle and
horses need haye no hesitancy in doing
so. In fact this especial feature should
be largely represented, for we have in
Blue Earth to-day some of the best bred
stock in the county.
The housewife should also assist in
making the Fair interesting. There are
many fancy articles which she Gun ex-
hibit, and Floral Hall, through her ef-
forts can be made an art gallery of be-
witching beauty and fascination.
Let everyone contribute something to-
ward the success OF the Fair and there
by prove that the hard labor of those
having details in charge is appreciated.
The dates for holding the exhibition
have not been announced, but will be
in a few days. Probably the first part
of September will be decided upon, as
it is the desire of the officers not to con-
flict with the State Fair.
