Nothing Left Undone
The officers and directors of the
Dawson County Fair association have
left nothing undone this year that
would tend to make visit to the fair
real pleasure. The front fence has
been replaced by more modern struc-
ure and the automobile and team
gate, which is topped with a striking
sign painted specially and donated by
Fred Hussey, superintendent of the
fair grounds, is removed a consider
able distance from the entrance used
by pedestrians, thereby enabling the
people to enter and exit from the
grounds without the danger usually ex-
perienced by the old location OF the
gates.
The Grounds improved
The grounds themselves have been
considerably improved. The grass has
been cut and all the unsightly weeds
removed; paths have been re-cindered,
a new ticket booth and turnstile have
been erected at the entrance and a
nunber of water hydrants have been
paced throughout the grounds for the
convenience of the people as well as
'ne comfort and humane handling of
the live stock.
large field, known as the hitching
ana camping lot, has been cleared
away and will be used by drivers of
Sams as a hitching place for their
NURSES and by farmers who come from
'seat distance and who wish to camp
VIII their families right on the
'Ouuus during their stay in the city.
