Mr.. N. J. Littlejohn, through the

t. notify the farmers and miners of
Fergus county that he has been ap.
pointed by the county commissioners
to take charge of and arrange for an
exhibit of the products of the county

important work
Through Mr.. Browns energy and
ability is due our credtable showing
at the last state fair and by his as
sent to assist in this work Mr.. Little
john is confident that everything will
be done to make the exhibit a sue
cess.
With the hearty cooperation of the
ranch public this exhibit can be made
a credit and a great benefit to the
county.
Everyone is requested to keep this
matter fresh in their memory and
preserve all fine specimens of their
products for this exhibit.
In other counties the farmers sow
and cultivate different products with
a view of pushing their growth and
raising especially fine specimens to
send to the state fair.
If Fergus county should have a fair
this fall, exhibits designed for the state
fair should be shown at the county
fair.
Parties who have visited the state
fair, realize the work required in ar
an exhibit and will agree that
III order to compete with other coun-
ties for first, second or even third |
place i'll that great show there is a
vast amount of work to do.
1t is earnestly hoped that every
farmer all over this great county
will elnd assistance and make this :
exhibit a lasting benefit.
