Wednesday.
Plain Dealing was fairly well repre-
scented at the BOssier Parish Fair at
Bossier City yesterday.
Tie agricultural and school displays
were superior to any exhibited hereto
fore at any of the annual fairs.
Your Uncle Eddie" will surpass any
thing that will be exhibited at the
forthcoming State Fair, is the belief of
nearly all who witnessed the display
yesterday.
The corn exhibit is grand. Mr.. j. A.
Bumgardner, of the Linton community
has an individual corn exhibit that is
as good as the Oldest inhabitant ever
saw. One ear in particular is classed
as perfect by Mr.. Burt-and it is con-
coded by all that he knows corn. Don't
fail to see the corn exhibit while you
are at the fair.
The cotton display is very elaborate
and seems to be all that might be de-
sired.
The peanut, forage and market gar
den exhibits have not heretofore been
surpassed. Everything in the agricuI-
tural line is here and is seemingly
placed just where it should he.
The different schools are well repre-.
scented In their displays. and they alone
are well worth a visit to the fair. One
pupil has on display drawing OF
Uncle SAM with smile on his face
1t 81 excellent and all should see it.
There were but few cattle or hogs OH

fine,
The attendance was poor and not
near what 1t should have been, but il
is expected 1t will be much better to.

at the State Fair as nickle Is for a
gingercake.
