Now for our fair! Don't forget
the 23rd, gath and 25th of the

preparing for a big time and it will
be a big disappointment if it is not
a success. The carpenters arc hard
at work there now putting the sheds,
fences and halls in first-class order.
A brass band is coming, fire races
each day and all that is in the
power of the association will be done
to entertain you. Remember that
the coming fair is going to be sue
cess just so far as the citizens of our
county see fit TO make it. The as
sociation is powerless. You can make
it a memorable occasion by having
something on exhibition, or you can
make it a lonesome, dreary waste.
Which are going to do? Let us
trust that you may show your in
terest by your attendance and your
cooperation by having something OH
exhibition.
