It is a pity the "Sun" does not know

Can II be necessary to admonish the
people Of Nebraska that they should
already be making preparations to visit
the state fair, the opening OF which is
now less than three weeks distant?
This will be an occasion which no Ne
braskan who has the means and the
time should fail to participate in. We
take no risk in saying that the coming
fair week, in the entertainment and
instruction II will furnish, will be the
most memorable in the history of the
state. The fair will undoubtedly be the
greatest exhibition ever held between
the Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains. No other state of this sec
ton has shown such enterprise and
liDcrallty in the construction of build
incs for fair purposes and when the
White City is completed it will be an
object of wonder and delight to all who
visit. There is every assurance that
the display in all departments will be
the largest and most attractive ever
made and there will be n greater variety
of exhibits than ever before. Never,
perhaps, has there been so much zeal
and interest manifested by those en-
gagged in this work as now and there is
every reason to expect that it will be
justified by results.
Omaha will be at its best during the
week Of the fair the preparations made
for the enjoyment of visitors being on
really magnificent scale. No Nebraskan
who visits the metropolis of the state at
that time will fail to have his pride in
it increased.
Do not put off preparations for visit
ing the fair to the last moment, but be-
gin them at once. Let us make the fair
of 1895 the most successful ever held in
the state.
