Once again, Hurrah for Bossier!
g The competition this year at the bi
e fair is said to have been keener tina
: ever before. Good crops were mad
It everywhese and good farmers freel
# participated in the exhibits made by a
IS the parishes and, in as far as their ski
e as such counted, backed those exhibit
to win. So there is good reason fe
n those who contributed to the Bessie
e exhibit to feel pride in its score.
1t The score of points by parishes was 9
j. follows: Bossier, 1893; Claiborne, III
le Lincoln, 1852; Iberville, 1923; Terre
IT bonnie, 1926; Vernon, 1855; Ouachit'
1875; East Baton Rouge, HOS; Rict
y land, ITO; Webster, 96.5. And the
r, displays were all good to look at.
in The individual exhibits made by res
le dents of the parish were awarded man
J. prizes. We trust Mr.. Burt or some OF
Re else officially connected with the Paris
W Fair will call to at least give in parti
list of these awards in time for the ne
i'll issue of the Banner.
