The Grenada Fair Association fur
nishes a pleasant and stimulating ex-
hibition. II could be made a great
OF pleasure and improvement.
the farmers Of the county could be
induced to make splendid agricultural
displays, that feature alone would be
worth the price OF three days admis>
sion. Let the Trustees take hold in
earnest and when they invite sugges-
tious and help, let our farmers confer
them and make the farm, garden
and domestic displays truly represen-
and magnificent.
The Grenada Fair bears a fine repu-
tation In this section of the state. 1t
has always endeavored to give II clean
and high class entertainment. 1t has
never tolerated gambling devices or
intoxicants Oh the grounds. On one
occasion, the management was offered
A sum large enough to pay all premi-
ums aud purses for the privilege OF
putting divers gambling devices on the
grounds, and the offer was Indignantly
refused. Many Fairs are forced to al
these things and they have been
winked at. But the people of Grenada
have supported their Fair lib
orally, and with enough outside exhip-
its, even some OF the attractions ques-
toned by some could be dispensed
The agricultural papers are now full
Of accounts of splendid Fairs held in
the great Northwestern agricultural |
and the great exhibitions are
vast good in keeping people
awake and up 10 the possibilities OF the !
hour.
Let everybody take hold in earnest,
and make u Fair a great success, and
and our Public Park u place Of beauty. |
