THE lola FAIR /!
The Next Big Attrac-
ton at lola.

TO BE HELD SEPT. FL, 22 AND 90. '93.
1t has been many years since the
people of lola and surrounding coun-
try have enjoyed the luxury of an
Agricultural Fair. There is no reason
why we should not havea number one
Fair here every year. We have the
railroad facilities; we have the coun.
try to draw from; we have the best
grounds and shade this side of Otta-
wa, and the best water in the State.
All that is needed to make lasting
success is the "git UP and git" of the
merchants and farmers in this local
ity. An annual Fair is the life and
hope of farming community in any
locality. 1t brings together all clas-
ses of people and all kinds of business
is there represented. The exchang-
ing of ideas and experiences is worth
as much to the producer as many
years of personal experience. Let us
all turn out and bring our families
and have a good fair and a good
social time.
