The Verda Fair Association.

The Verda Fair Association.
To the People Of Grant and VIM:
The people of Verda and community
have organized what is called the verda
Fair Association. The first fair will be
held on the 9Th and 9th of October.
1915. This will be the only fair in eth
er of these parishes. Since Verda is
just across the parish line in Grant, the
people of Winn parish will feel that
this is their fair also. However, since
the fair is backed by Grant parish cap
ital, prizes will be confined to the far
mers of Grant. Nevertheless, we kind
ly ask the cooperation of all VIM par
ish people in making this fair success
and respectfully invite them to be pres
ent. Moreover, we gladly welcome all
from any section of the State who will
be Interested In an agricultural fair.
Grant parish people, we especially
urge you TO be present with whatever
exhibit you may have. All exhibits
must be on the ground by 9 o'clock,
