A Great Success.

SOVVV00e
1t must be admitted by every
body who attended the Parish
Fair just closed in Benton that it
was great success.
1t was the best collection and
display of parish products ever
made by any parish in the State,
and its results will tend largely to
increase intelligent enterprise and
practical effort to develop the vast
agricultural and industrial .possi-
bilities of this good parish.
Bossier can get up a great fair
at any time, but the work must be
directed and done by the right
sort OF men. Fortunately men of
this class were in command of the
recent Parish Fair. The General
Manager, DR.. c. H. Irion, is per-
tectly lifted in every way for the
important position he holds. The
Fair has flourished finely under
his administration, and he has
won fresh lurels by giving such
superb direction to the arrange
ments for the Fair and it's man
agement during it's progress.
The Farmers Institute Club and
Board of Directors are practical
farmers as we'll as good business
men in other respects, and with
the able and popular General
Manager, made q corps which
could not fail.
Entering the Main Building on
the first floor the eye was charm
ed with tasteful and suggestive
displays made from the products
of the fields and gardens.
The second floor, or Ladies'
Department, had q large number
of exhibits. Everywhere one was
charmed with the taste displayed
in arrangement and the neatness
observed in their care. We were
especially pleased with the fruit
exhibit, of which there was an
abundance of both fresh and pre-
served, of jellies, pickles of all
kinds-sweet and sour-brandy
peaches, wine, chow chow, &C.,
all of which made a most beauti-
full and appetizing show. The
pictures displayed were all excel
lent and beautiful. There were
many beautiful things in women's
work in silk, linen and cotton en-
broideries;in Battenberg, crochet,
knit and point laces, &c. And we
venture the assertion that Mr.. w.
j. Dawson's display of honey has
never been surpassed in the State.
The exhibits of horses, cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry were
fine and encouraging.
Thursday was Confederate day.
DR.. w. T. Boiling, of Shreveport,
who is a great favorite of our peo-
pie, delivered very able and in
teresting address. He was listen
ed to with interest by all, especial
| ly the remnant of the hosts OF
those who fought for homes and
principles-now gray haired and
nearing the hour for final "taps. -
Although the attendance was
not as large as expected-on ac-
count of this being a very busy
time with the farmers and all men
of business-the Fair was, as We
have said, a complete and mos,
gratifying success in the way oi
exhibits.
Next year we will have another

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the CIV
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food. regulate the action of the
liver. stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
the took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses os Green's Aug
