The most pleasing feature of the exhibi-
ton of 1898 was the entire satisfaction OF
the Fair patrons and the many coed words
spoken by friends and strangers. With
improved grounds and buildings, good
attI actions, liberal premiums, increased
purses and favorable weather, the Fair of
1894 will be still more worthy of the patron
age and good words of our appreciative
friends,
The success of the Elkton Fair without
the efficient aid OF their interested lady
friends would suffer a severe defeat. Ladies
be liberal with your exhibits of artistic
needlework, beautiful paintings, roothsome
preserves, excellent bread, etc: Consult
the catalogue for special and the associa-
tons premiums. Strive to make one or
more exhibits and thus add TO the attrac-
tiveness of your Fair. If YOU have any
thing of merit in the house or on the farm
exhibit it at the Elkton Fair.
