THE STATE FAIR OF LOUISIANA.

HE STATE FAlR OF 1OUlS1ANA
Beginning tomorrow, Monday, No
vember /, and continuing until Satur.
day, November 8, inclusive, the State
Fair Of Louisiana will be in the fullest
of activity in the demonstration of the
possibilities of the State.
There is no State of the Union which
possesses a greater variety Of soils, OF
is adapted to a greater multiplicity OF
products, including stock, swine anc
poultry, fruit and vegetables, in brief
every need of man and beast which may
be embraced under the term or classi-
fcation of agriculture. At the Fair all
these will be exhibited in their re
spective departments and as object
lessons of merit, should leave the most
favorable impress on the mind of every
visitor.
IT is not possible to estimate the in
huence of fairs as practical educators
The knowledge acquired is through per
ception, and by comparison and der1on-
stration and is lasting, besides being
profitable in stimulation of efforts in
freinldy rivalry.
1t is a dullard who will go to fair
and not derive some benefit therefrorl
Even the Parish or the County Fair in
its circunscribed area is a teacher
which if silent and unpretentious car
and does exercise a most potert power
for good. If the Parish Fair in its 10
calization is so beneficial, how ines
Unable must be the effects of sew
eral parish fairs aggregated in one
grand demonstration of the products OF
Louisiana
Besides the products of the soil, or we
may say of the farm, there will be ex-
hibits of skill in art and in mechanical
Developments and mechanical industries
Indeed, it may be asserted that the
Fourth Annual Exhibition of the State
Fair will exceed every effort of the past
Whatever has been accomplished i'll se-
curing all these exhibits and in the final
presentation Of the Fair as it will be
seen, has required much time and labor,
patience and unceasing endeavors
In the summary of what is offered to
The people in this aggregation Of the
ornamental and the useful and in the
varied attractions which are part Of
the programme of the week I'll iitec-
tors of the Fair Association, and espec-
tally President Bolinger and Secretary
Brueggerhofk are entitled to the fullest
recognition of appreciation. And t is
no exaggeration to say that if the
weather during the week be not incle ~
ent, the citizens of Shreveport ard of
the State will be attracted TO witness
the grandest and the best Fair ever held
in the State.
