Three cheers for IberYilla parishl
The big South Louisiana Fair, which
was held in Dona1dsonVille from Oct,
q to Il inclusive, has passed into his
5lory#as being pre-eMlnently success
full. The various exhibits from the
nine parishes which had combined
to bring their resources to the at
tention of the public consisted large
" OF agricultural products, cattle,
hogs, poultry, etc. The large fair
grounds were crowded with visitors
from the entire surrounding country
and parishes, and Donaldsonville ex-
tended the glad hand of welcome. to
all The hog division of the fair was
oy far the largest and the showing
made by it brought forth much ia
Yorable comment. Competition was
keen in every department Among
the prize winners in Iberville parish
were the Murrells, Supplies, Noel,
Bolds, Ware, and others. Although
Mr.. BoIds had not prepared his hogs
for exhibit, he captured the grand
championship prize with Crimson
Wonder" and carried off seven first.
and eleven second prizes.
Iberville was prominent with her
exhibits in every department of the
fair. X The capital prize of
$3.50 which was offered to the par
ish scoring the greatest number of
points in all departments fell to the
lot of Sweet IberVille.
Tt is foregone conclusion that
next year Iberville will remain on
top, SO therefore, let US be up and
doing to keep up interest in the
South Louisiana Fair, which serves
to advertise our wonderful resources
and advantages to very large ex-
tent Unquestionahly, the fair will
be conducted on much larger,
grander and more elaborate scale
next year; therefore, let Ibervi1Ie
send more exhibits. a larger repre-
sentation, and let the. people of the
town of Plaauemine send large
display of exhibits which will create
enthusiasm and excite competition.
Ascension, IberVille is with you
and we are indeed proud of our
showing at the fair.-Iberville South.
