Coming State Fair.
LAKE CITY, FLA, July 22nd, 100;

LAKE CRY, FLA, July 22nd, 1902.
Editor of The Florida Star.
l wish to announce through your paper
that the preliminary work of arranging
for the next state fair is progressing most
satisfactorily.
Premium lists will be ready for distri-
button in about ten days, and will be
gladly forwarded to any citizen of Flori-
da interested. There is every reason for
believing that the fair this year will be
even a more marked success than was the
last. Several counties have already taken
action relative to county exhibits. Many
new premiums will be offered, and sew
eral old ones have been materially in
creased. The first prize for general
county exhibit will be $3.50, with 2nd and
3rd prizes of 500 and 500 respectively,
in addition to several county. prizes OF
500 which are offered for exhibits OF
special products.
Your county should be represented by
an official exhibit of its resources. Those
counties successful in last years cOmpeti-
ton have every reason for being more
than satisfied with their experience.
am satisfied that the county commission
ers of each county are perfectly willing
to comply with the desires of the repre-
sentative citizens of their counties, and
| feel confident that YOU can be depended
on for exerting most effective influence
in shaping sentiment toward that end.
wish particularly. on behalf of the
State Fair association, to express to you
our indebtedness and. gratitude to the
newspapers of the state, to whose unseif
ish and able assistance the success of the
last fair was very largely due. We have
every confidence in the continuation o
your most valuable assistance and Co
operation, without which We feel thai
any enterprise of this nature woulC
largely fail, but with which we are conf
dent of success. II. +. SToCKBRIDGE,
