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 10 the month Of September, 1893,
on the following named days of said
month, namely: September 20, - and
rs. to be held at the grounds OF the
Madison Driving Park association, in
Madison, S. d.. which have been goner
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 n perma
neut organization of the kind and for
the urpose indicated, to be held each
year.
1t is hoped that each farmer will con-
tribute something ID 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 our
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 nom in the state. Our
county has rs good IA class OF thorough
found ia South Dakota. Some Of our
cattlemen can exhibit a fine class OF cat
tie. including Short Horns, Aberdeens,
Ho4stein-F relslans, Galloways, Jerseys,
Devons and other breeds. The same
can be sand of sheep, hogs and poultry.
Ii the farmers will exhibit hem we will
stand NO second chance at the state fair.
Again, let US urge our citizens to
bring in something for exhibition.
