Sec. and + +. Haynes, Treas.
In order to get the matter thor
oughlv before the people and to
ascertain what support the people
OF the county woull give, the com
mittee selected one man from each
Township IL the County and re-
QueSting that the men SO selected
meet with the Fair Committee

meacs. The meeting was held and
there was good attendance. The
movement met with the unquall
fed approval Of everyone present.
AS this fair movement is a Eew
thing in the county and there
having been no organization here
tofore, everything has to he start
ed from the very beginning. In or
der to conduct Fair it is necessary
to have funds in order to pay pre-
miums and it was decided that the
best way to raise funds would be
by popular subscription, and there
will be man in practically every
Township in the county soliciting
financial support The idea is TO
make the affair mutual and 1t was
decided to call it the Walworth
County / r. Association, said fair
to be hel in Selby in September
on Tuos lay, Wednesday and
Thursd"y y Of the week previous to
the Sou,n Dakota State Far, so
that if desired. the exhibits from
the county could be taken to the
State Fair.
The entire arrangements have
not all been made, but there will
be premiums offered on all kinds
Of live stock, grains, grasSe3, veg
etables, dairy products, poultry,
baked goods, jellies and canned
fruits. needle and art work and
school exhibits. Tie prospects OF
success are very encouraging and
the measure Of success depends on
the financial support of the people
of the County. All contributors
who give 81 90 or more, are en-
titled TO enter any artlcle OF articles
other than live stock for premiums
without paying any entrance fee.
The exhibitors OF live stock will be
charged an entrance fee OF 10 pen

tered. Ample provision will be
