The Fair.

1t is with a feeling of pride and
pleasure that the farmers of Webster
county learn thrt We are going to have
a fair, and one that will be o credit to
our county. The general expression
of the farmers is that they are happy
that the business men are taking such
decided interest in the matter, and
hope they will push everything to its
completion. Many Of the farmers have
commenced To groom their blooded
stock for exhibition. and the cereal
and vegetable display will be large. l:
is to be hoped that the grounds will be
fenced in excellent shape, and that the
art, floral, vegetable, and agricultural
departments will have suitable build
lgs in which the above can be proper
ly displayed. Also that the cattle
stalls and sheds will be placed in some
kind of rate or order, and last but not
least, to have a first-class half mile
track, so that the h~igh-Hyers and fast
steppers will have a good chance to
show their style and try their metal.
There is one thing we understand and
that is there will be no entrance charg-
ed On articles of entry or in other
words the article that reads IAN en-
