and 11th.
INCLUDES THREE COUNTIES
HOughtOn, Keweenaw, Onto
nagOn and Baraga-
Big Time Expected.

The Houghton county Agricultur-
al society has begun an aggressive
campaign for the frst annual fair OF
the society. Secretary Randall has
sent out large number of circulars
and will shortly put out q quantity
of attractive litho posters. 1t is
evident that the society is going to
make the first fair success if
judicious publicity is of any effect.
The text OF the circular follows:
The first annual fair of the Hough-
ton County Agricultural society will
take place at the Amphidrome, in
Houghton, on September 9th, 9th,
10th and 11th, 1903, and it will be
an event worthy Of your attention.
We are to receive memberships and
exhibits from four counties, viz !:
Houghton, Keweenaw, Ontonagon
and Baraga, and we earnestly solicit
your support for the success Of this
fair. 1t is plain that we cannot
make the fair success without you,
and whatever may be your occupa-
tion, you are interested, that the
copper country and all the inhabi-
tants of the four counties may
proudly say our first annual fair
was a grand success, for it means
much to this part of the state, and
we hear you say eyes" and you ask
what can I do?
1st. You will have something you
can send or bring to the fair for ex-
hibition, and anything that is pro-
duct of these four counties, and
relics and curiosities not produced
here will be welcomed, knowing that
you will select the best, and get the
premium. We have in the hands of
the printer 1000 books containing a
list of premiums offered, and while
we desire that all should get them,
there may not be enough to go
around, not knowing that you desire
one, we may fail to reach you, you
will please drop us postal asking
for one of the books. 1t will be sent
free.
End. You can come to the fair
and bring the family. And it will
be one of the most enjoyable days
of the year. You will hear the best
of music, both vocal and instru-
mental, and many attractions, in
clucing concerts and dancing in the
evening of each day, which will be
more fully announced through the
papers.
3rd. You can say a good word
for the land on which you live. 1t
will cost nothing, and best of all it
will be the truth, for there is no
fairer spot on earth than that which
/ call my home; you cannot say too
much for it, and If you earnestly
and honestly go slightly beyond
what has already happened, it will
come next year. 1t is in the ground,
for the happy man is he who has
faith, and enjoys what he has.
We shall look for you to be with
US to enjoy this event and to help us
lift the banner, sour First Annual
Fair" triumphantly over our land.
There will be special rates over all
railroads.
All communications addressed to
the secretary will be promptly
answered.
BY order of committee on Fair

NORRIS & ROWE TOMORROW.

This is indeed a progressive age.
The business man who would achieve
success must be continually on the
alert He must be constantly intro
ducing new goods or wares and ad-
vancing new ideas. in matters of gen.
eral business. The show business
does not differ in this from mercantile
or other pursuits and the most sue
cessful shOwmen of the present, are
those who have the most original
ideas, and introduce the most novel
performances. To a thorough under
standing of this is no doubt due the
wonderful success and growth of Nor
ris & Rowe's shows which are to- eX
hibit here soon. This institution is
conducted by two young energetic
business men, who are thoroughly
alive to the fact that the people con-
tinually want something new in the
line of amusement as well as in any
thing else, and they sustain their en-
yiable reputation for having an up-to-
date show. by adding countless novel
ties and scores of new and original
acts each year. They have been here
several times and this same period of
prOgressiveness is always visible
The result is that they do a more
prosperous business each time they
come.
In Walla Walla tomorrow.
