If so, bring t to the fair and contest for a prem uui. If you haven't any animáis bring some fowls, ciiickens, geese, ducks, pea fowli, doves, they will all add to the show, and you stand is good an opportunity of getting your money back as any one. Then there are a theusand and one other things that can be brought: wheat, oats, rye, barley- the big pumpkins and the big squashes- there ought to be lots of theni tliia year. Thcn tliere are the articlesof liandiwork in the Iadie'department, that was wout to be the most interestingof any. Just a little lift, a trifle broiiirht by each one, and the whole will make a grand display. Will you oat do what you can to make the county fair of 18S5 a rousing success?
