Our FAIR.

!, The annual meeting of the Lafayette County
Agricultural and Stock Association will take
n place on the fair grounds at Higginsyllle
commencing August oath, 1856, and %continu-
ing five days. The Accommodations will be
ample, the grounds pleasant and attractive,
the track one of the best in the state, the
} location central and in the suburbs of a
, town, the citizens of which are courteous,
> liberal and determined to support this enter
r prise, designed for the development of the
r resources and possibilities of Lafayette
county.
The premiums offered this year by the
: association and by enterprising individuals
t are greatly in excess of any heretofore award
: ed, and the liberality of the managers in this
respect should stimulate favorable considera-
! ton and assure corresponding patronage. At
) no time in the history of this, or any other
similar corporation, has a premium of 81, 600
been offered for a single ring, but it seems
necessary, in this age, in order to secure the
"celebrities;, that such magnifi cent rewards
shall be offered, and the managers, foreseeing
this have determined to meet and satisfy, to
The fullest measures, these expectations and
AhASS "Aeo "a I'LL IlSts dS q
whole, will be amply sufficient to secure TO
our fair the most attractive exhibits ever
offered for the patronage ofOur people. That
this support may be secured the board has
made the gate fees the smallest possible under
the circumstances, in fact the price charged
for the privilege of witnessing that which
will certainly be a grand display of stock and
productions of all kinds, is a mere nominal |
sum, and within the reach of every man, |
woman and child in Lafayette county. The |
generosity of the directors should be met by
our people In the same spirit. There should
be a general turn out from every nook and |
and corner of the county. 1t is our simple |
duty to attend, support and countenance our
own lnstitut ions. Our sister counties
throughout the state not only maintain one,
Dut some or them two. or even three county
fairs, none of which present the features and
advantages of our Owl. The association has
risked much, and a failure upon the part of
the people to discharge that which seems to
US a PLAIN obligation might endanger the very
existence of the corporation. We have so
oiten aud so earnestly urged our people to
attend our 1air that we have no new argument
TO present as a reason for such action, but we
dc emphasize all we have heretofore said ,
concerning the matter. Let US Law aside all
personal preference for the public good. Let {
every man resolve to go at least one day and
take his wife, his children, his sisters, his G
cousins and his aunts, and il he has no wife. |
let him take some other mans sister, COUSIN =
or aunt. 1t will do you good, enlarge your I
views, stimulate your thoughts, broaden YOUR O
IDEAS OF life and perhaps correct your old fogy I
notions OF fairs and their usefulness; and q
away beyond and above all other considera- '
turn out and feast your eyes upon the o

'ver assembled and demonstrate our o!
willingness and ability to sustain the best X,
fair in the state. NJ
