THE STATE FAIR.
A Grand Trades Procession to
be Held i'm Honor of its
Inauguration.
The Citizens Responding NObly
to the Furtherance of
the Scheme.
The Managers Jubliant Over the
Grand Success of its
Institution.

Active steps were inaugurated yes
terday, looking to the success of the
trades procession in honor of the
opening of the state fair the Goth of
next month and judging from the en-
enlargement extended so far it is
likely not only to prove success, but
the grandest affair ever witnessed in
Sedalia. From Mr.. Jno. n. Daily,
who opened the canvas, the BAzoo
learns that not a man has so far been
seen who was not only in favor of it,
but ready and willing to lend his
hearty cooperation to the extent of
his ability. Said Mr.. Darby, $50 far
| have only visited few persons In
East Sedalia, and | want you
to say that if the West
end will only respond as well as the
east end is doing the result will
be the grandest thing ever seen in
central Missouri. Every man l ap-
preached not only endorsed the move
but put down his name for a liberal
subscription as you can see from this
Showing a long list of names). /
have not seen over half of the people
in our end of the town yet, however,
but will do so as soon as possible and
you can say to the downtown folks
that if they desire to maintain their
reputation for enterprise they will
have to be cup and doing" The list
Mr.. Daily now has shows most lib
eral subscription and will be published
as soon as it is completed.
1t is the intention of the committee to
call upon every business man to lend
his aid to the enterprise, and they
Onght to give hearty response, as no
more important move than the inaug-
Grafton of a state fair in Sedalia, the
heart of the state, was ever made,
and on its success depends many other
proposed advances to the rank and
Importance to which Sedalia aspires
and is by right entitled, in the roll of
progress of the grandest state in the
union.
As TO THE FAIR
The BAzoo learns from the managers
that everything indicates the largest
exposition ever held in the state out
side of St. Louis. Almost the entire
space for stock and horses is already
taken, while in the machinery and farm
implement department the demands
for room are so great that additional
facilities will be required. In the
stone and mineral department entries
have already been made which exceed
anything ever before seen in the state,
and it is safe to say that nearly every
mine of Importance and every leading
machinery establishment in the coun-
try will have a display. In the fine
arts and furniture the entries are
already made larger than ever before
known, and the managers are jubilant
over the fact that the opening of the
state fair is already an assured success
beyond their most sanguine expecta-
tons. Under such circumstances it
is no more than the clear duty of
every Sedalian, even as a matter of
selfinterest, to lend his best aid to
increase that success and show that it
is no more than Sedalia is entitled to.
aud that her people are not only cap
able but willing to serve the interests
of the entire state and do justice to
the many distinguished citizens whom
the fair will bring to the city.
