Each director must bill his township,
and il in a marginal town.
ship he is required to 60
into the adjoining county. Thus large
territory will be properly billed, aud it
is this proper method of advertising that
draws such large crowds to our fair an
nually.
"The grain crops in Stark county the
present season were, on the Whole,.v very
satisfactory to the farmer and will re-
suit in fine display. Fruits are some-
what disappointing. Many farms 90
not contain an apple, but other locali-
ties have an abundance OF fine fruit OF
all descriptions, and we predict a grand
display in this department this year,
something not seen for the last three
years.
vegetables, on account of the moist
season, are plentiful aud Of magnificent
size, and the superintendent of this
department called on the board
to give him more room

"The exhibitions in Floral Hall are
assured. Never before did flowers
bloom 80 profusely as now, and we look
forward to the finest collection ever
shown here.
"we'have great deal Of evidence that

collection of paintings, drawings, needle
work and other works of art ever exhib-
tied at any fair.

for space in the halls or on the grounds
for an exhibit by parties from abroad.
"Many stock men outside of county
have signified their intentions ofinclud-
ing the Stark County Fair in their cir.
cult this year and we look for all stalls
to be filed.
"An impression has gone abroad that
manufacturers OF agricultural machinery
will not exhibit this year. Well we will
give you an inside tip that there will
be the usual fine display at our fair, il
not finer than ever before.
"The Board has made ample pro-
\ visions for the amusement OF its patrons

I tions, orations and spelling, with pony
races-saddle and sulky, a fine merry
go.round will give ride to all, and the
Battle of sGettysburg,' which all will
want to see.
"This is newer and finer painting
than the one which was here severa
years ago, and we have special ar
rangment with the manager to exhibit i
at fifteen cents for adults instead of TWEEN
ty-fiye as heretofore, and children ter
cents and If any are too poor to pay thi
