greatest fair ever held by this associa-

by a corps Of efficient superintendents
in the various departments New ideas

the beauty of this division. Next to

are already being attracted hither for
this great event.
THE OUTSIDE ATTRACTIONS WILL BE
BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
The society has expended several hun-
DIRE dollars in attractions that will be
absolutely free TO every one, and besides
these there will be q Pike" where one
can see, at q trifling expense, some Oh
the finest attractions now on the road
These county fairs are great educators
for the farmer and no one should miss
one. Every farmer should feel that this
is time for him to take holiday from
the druigery of the farm and take his
family to the fair The cost is tritiing
and the benefits to be derived great.
Your children under ten are admitted
free; those between ten and fourteen,
the price is l5c, and thoss over fourteen
35c, which includes yor team free and
permits all holders of 55e tickets to go
out and return as many times as they
please. You will ncte a slight change
here, which we cali your attention TO,
the 25c ticket emitting the holder to a
single admission, has been done away
with. The society has been compelled
10 make this change for two reasons
first, in order to prevent a certain kind
of scalping, which in the past has cost
the society many hundred dollars, and
second that the attractions might be Ia
creased and better fair given to the
people The 35c ticket permits the
holder to 60 out and return as often as
he may have occasion to do and all for
the one price Of admission. Heretofore
under the old system one would buy
25c ticket and 60 in and then find out
that he must 90 out for some purpose
and be compelled TO purchase another
ticket, thus costing him SOC for the day.
A single Admission ticket for the entire
fair will be told for 7jc. Farmers take
your wife al L children and come. See
what you can get for 81, 30 yourself,
take your wife, and one child fourteen,
one thirteen and all you have under ten,
If enough to fill your wagon, and drive
your team inside all for one dollar.
