Of Douglas county and the neighboring
territory for our future prosperity and
substantial support. We preach and
urge market gardening at every oppor.

encourage those who have undertak en-
the work we do not respond with much
enthusiasm.
Right here We want TO advocate the
removal of the fair building out to the
grounds, where there is plenty of room
for stock sheds, and booths. Then too.
few races could be arranged, special
ball games, and other new features add
ed, which, in connection with the vege-
table and other displays would be a
new and drawing card. In making a
