For q Parish Fair.

The idea of holding an annual Par
ish Fair here in Winfield has been
more or less prevalent over the parish
for several years, but no definite steps
have been taken towards tho accom-
plishment Of the project. Other par
ishes over the State have been and
are holding parish fairs every year,
and the benefits resulting from them
is apparent to even the most casual
observer. Take for instance our
neighboring parishes of Bienvllle,
Lincoln and Webster here in North
Louisiana, wherein fairs are held, and
compare their farms, farming meth
DDS, stock, etc, with our own here in
VIM, and it is readily seen that some
incentive force has been at work in
those parishes that is absent here in
ours.
It is the inherent desire Of every
one to excel his fellow man. This
desire when properly controlled slim
ulates and prompts people to put forth
their best efforts in every phase OF
life. Likewise the fairs in these par
ishes have been the stimulating force
that has caused the farmers to raise
! better stock and adopt more progress
sive farming methods, and what has
been done in other parts of the State
may likewise be done here. Not only
would q parish fair benefit the farm
u ers but would be of equal help to our
merchants. AS the farms would in
3s crease in size and number so would
the business Of The merchants in
a crease, for some one must furnish
& them the various necessities OF life,
which cannot be raised here. 1t is
hardly necessary to further enumerate
the good that a fair would do any
!. parish, for anybody who is endowed
with any reasoning power at all can
