None should forget the Tri-Parish
Fair to be held at Tallulah on Dc
tober IL, IL and 13. This is our
fair and we should all try to get
there, and not only 60 ourselves but
send something Of our industry to
show the other parishes that they
are not the only pebbles on the
beach, we are a good-size noise our
selves. So let US show something
that we have raised or that we have
made and thereby let the world
know what Tensas is and has and
what her possibilities are. II our
people will only take interest in the
Fair, and avail themselves Of the OPP
portunity it offers to advertise their
resources much good can come to US
from It.
