HE FAIR.

Work at the fair grounds is in such
shape that only the finishing up is TO be
done and next Saturday night will show
everything ready for the greatest fair of
Southern Kansas.
The number Of entries already made in
all classes are sufficient TO insure grand
display. The demands for space continue
TO come in, and it is fact that everything
from the smallest toy To amuse the baby
to the finest and most elaborate piece OF
farm machinery will be there.
In the agricultural department the dis
play will be immense. The very liberal
premiums offered by the association are
beginning to be heard from and Southern
Kansas will be heard from at the world 5
fair by reason OF the display made at
the Southern Kansas fair of 1892,
for from those displays will be
taken what will talk louder than words,
the actual products of southern Kansas
farms. In the horse. cattle, swine, sheep
and poultry departments will be found
representatives of every known breeding,
and as each of these industries are extern
sively carried on, it will be worth a trip TO
see what improvements the past few
years have brought about in the breeding
Of improved stock.

of the greatest animals i'll the country,
and many of the stables have begun TO ar
rive. Among those already upon the
