The 1915 Fair.

Mr.. y. E. Branch President
Wash. Par, Fair ASsoclatlon'
Dear Mr.. Branch:
Over this way
we are all very much delighted
at the inte crest that's being tahen
in the Parish Fair this year.
We believe that n thing will aoa
more to the development OF
Wast,in4ton Parish than by DO
ing things that will be of inter,
est and profit to our farmer
citizens. The Great Southern
LumbSr Co., has large acreage
of cut7over lands and is very an
xious Ito have them developed IN
the interest of the Railroad, We
are putting them on the market
at We |ry low prices ana a'olns
settlers in every way we can.
Aside from that we feel that we
should take considerable inter
est}in the Fair on account of its
influence on the development CT
tha whole Parish. AT any time
The Era-leader., 1915-05-20

you think we can be of any ser:
vice, would be Glad to have you
call on as.
My opinion is th.st you ought
70 interest every farmer in Wash
IMgton Parish.n bringing some
thing to the Fair, if only an old
mule. Let's have the ground
half a mile around the Fair
building covered with oxen,
COWS, Digs. goats, chickens, etc.
Ihen when We have them all
together everybody can see
whether their animals are as
good as their neighoors. Then
there will be better efforts made
to improve the stock.
Yours truly.
