Will Be Held September 26, 27, 29-
Rules, Regulations, Officers.

The people eff Lake county, South
Dakota, deeming it important and for
the best interests of the county to organ
ize and hold a county fair in Lake coun-
ty for the purpose of exhibiting the rich
products of our soil. the high grade Of
our horses and cattle and the intelli-
gence and thrift of our people, after due
consideration have decided to hold such
a fair in the month of September, 1895,
on the following named days of said
month, namely: September 26, q and
2S, to be held at the grounds Of the
Madison Driving Park association, in
Madison, S. D., which have been gener
ously opened to the county free OF
charge by the said association.
We do not intend to make this, our
first fair, one of great magnitude, but
hope it will open the way for a perma.
neut organization of the kind and for
the purposes indicated, to be held each
year.
1t is hoped that each farmer will on
tribute something to make this fair a
success, and enable us to collect from
what may be exhibited an exhibit to
send to the state fair at Sioux Falls,
which will be held the week after Jul
fair adjourns.
Our premiums must necessarily be
small this year, but it Is the exhibition
we want, and our county can furnish,
we hope, a showing Of grains, vegetables,
ETC., second to none in the state. Our
county has as good a class Of thorough.
bred and standard bred horses as can be
found 10 South Dakota. Some of our
cattlemen can exhibit a fine class Of cat.
tie, including Short Horns, Aberdeens
Holstein- Freisians, Galloways, Jerseys
Devons and other breeds. The same
can be said Of sheep, hogs and poultry
If the farmers will exhibit them we will
stand no second chance at the state far
Again, let Is urge our citizens tc
bring in something for exhibition.
