The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1910-11-17
At the Parish and State Fairs.

At the Parish and State Pairs.
We give below list of the premium
winners in the Women's Department at
the Parish Fair and residents of Bossier
who were awarded premiums at the State
Fair. This last list is not full, but addi-
tional data could not be obtained. We
would have been glad to have published
the name of every resident of Bossier who
won premium at the State Fair, and only
regret that we haven't the full list.
!. The two lists below were furnished us by
Mr.. w. }. Dawson, Secretary for the Bos-
sier Parish Fair Association, and we wish
to again thank him for his many courte-
sizes extended the Banner and it's editors.
1t appears to US that Mr.. Dawson has
taken keener interest in the past five
Parish Fairs and the Parish Fair exhibits
at the State Fair than any other resident
of the parish. This may not be literally
true, but certain it is that no one has
shown greater interest. Five exhibits
have been made at the five State Fairs.
He has helped to plan them all and has
carried out the arrangement of all of them.
More than any other one man he has been
instrumental in the Bossier exhibits taking
worker in the interest of the fair and we
are proud to have him as resident of our
town and parish, and every citizen in the
parish who knows what home pride means
should feel grateful to him for his untiring
efforts in this direction. He is at least de-
serving of this reward.
The ladies (bless them) ever labor hard
to make their department a success. As
usual there was keen competition at the
Parish Fair and many dainty articles in
needlework, etc., that reflected their skill
and industry. How could we give fair
Cor keep house, or, do anything worth
whitley without woman in it ?'
In the list of State Fair awards particu-
lar attention is called to those of Messrs.
u. Mckinney, j. H. Nattin, W. H. Martin
and N. w. Sentell, aggregating S230.50.
These awards were on stock, and this goes
to demonstrate that Bossier stock looks
good when lined up with that from over
the State. It is to be hoped that other
residents of our parish will make like
showing another year.
