ON TO THE FAIR.

Beginning next Tuesday and continuing on
through to Saturday night, Thurston county is
going to show itself in it's first annual fair just
what it really can do in an agricultural way, in
stock and poultry and in handiwork and cookery
as well as in fruits and vegetables and other crops
We venture the assertion that there will be good
many nightly surprised people before the week
is over. "Why didn' t know could raise 'em
here like that" is going to be an oft-repeated
phrase next week, if the advance reports are any
indication.
There is absolutely on earth why
Thurston county should not have an excellent
Fair next week from the standpoint OF exhibits.
We can s'raise em here' beyond any doubt and a
good many of us have been doing it, and those of
us who have and those who haven't are going to
be greatly surprised when we see what the other
fellow IS been doing. The main thing we need in
this county, as matter of fact, is just exactly
such demonstration as this will be of what we
can do here. The going will be easier, then.
We hope every person in this county visits that
Fair some time next week. The price OF a season
ticket is so small that we ought to go every day;
the price of days admission is similarly most
reasonable And we should have two objects in
going there: first to see for ourselves just what
we are actually doing in an agricultural way and
second and equally as important, to make it
larger Fair next year and the year after and on
Keep these things in mind next week - and
attend the Fair.
