held at the Public Fairgrounds, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oc-
tober 13, IA and Is. If necessary
buildings are not completed by that
time, tents will be used to accommo-
date the crowds and the exhibits.
Every committee is expected to be-
come active at once and the spirit
of enthusiasm and optimism was
shown at the get-togther meeting
Wednesday morning last when every
citizen, man and woman, solicited
was present to prepare and plan for
further progress toward the big
County event for October.
At that meeting President C.. B.
Perkins presided and easily inspir-
ed the company to open expression
regarding the various features of the
big enterprise it was necessary to
consider.
County Agent Legett and chair
men of departments will prepare the
catalogue of premiums and events.
No admission has been charged
heretofore to the Fairs. This year
prices of tickets were fixed as fol-
lows:-
Season tickets and exhibitors tick
ct, good for entrance at will during
the fair, so cents for adults and 35
cents for children under IL; single
admission on Thursday and Friday,
adults rs cents, children Is cents;
single admission Saturday, adults Is
cents, children 10 cents.
Community exhibits as demonstra-
ted by eleven schools of the County
last year, were advocated and the
wish expressed that there will be
more next October. Premiums are to
be made desirable and the number
increased, the first and second prizes
running into thirds, fourths and If
this, perhaps.
Mr.. Perkins said the best religion
to live by was cooperation; DR.. Fri
zell said the County Fair was the
biggest pay ad" the county could
use; Mr.. Legett stressed dairying and
the one-crop system; Mrs. Parsons
urged town interest in county wo-
men, and others spoke in the in
terest of Lincoln county people as
whole nothing looking to prosperity
and contentment being of greater
import than the feeling of fellow
ship so much desired among all our
people and the cooperation, to which
President Perkins referred, which is
the key-word to the Fair and to the
situation in Lincoln County in all
enterprises and organizations every
DAY In the year.
