While there is so mucl talk of taking advantage of the Initiative and Referendum amhndment at a cost of $200, ,000 to the state, in order to secure a proper revenue bill, and also a game warden bill. we are wondering if there is even an inkling on the minds of these men that that there has been talk of state wide prohibition measure?

NEVADA COUNTY
 FAIR FOR 1911

Shall we have tqe county fair next autumn?
 This is question that should be settled pretty soon. We can t wait until fall and then jump a. round and make preparation for creditable show.
 It is up to you" now brother far mer. If we continue to have these fall exhibits, the farmers must not only furnish the stock and porducts but they must give their time and means as well.
 We have a splendid offer of grounds and buildings one mile from the depot in the town of Prescott if we continue to have the fair each year. One of Pres cott's most enterprising citizens proposes to furnish forty acres of land and erect suitable bu Id ings thereon and give the county the use of them during the fair as long as the people continue to mold annual fairs.
 wish every farmer in Nevada county, who has any local pride would become interested in this matter. mean interested enough to do something. A very poor man was once movi ing througha a strange county, in a wagon. He had the misfortune to lose one of his horses and a large crowd of sympathizers gathered about his wagon. Of course all told him they were sorry for him but that did not replac the horse. One practical fellow however taking out his pocket book said. T sympathize with him to the amount of ten dollars neighbors: how much do you sympathize with him?
 No doubt every citizen will say that he is interested in the fair, but you haven't yet shown us how much We must settle this matter pretty soon.
 Iswould like to meet every far mer interested in this matter at the county union, at Serepta on the 4th and 9th days of July. We are expecting this to be the best meeting we have ever had. The farmers institute feature of the county union has become an in- teresting work. There will also be sometime speakers present and some very important bus mess. Don't forget the time and place.
