society, wishes to announce that the
county fair will be held this year at
La Grande, beginning October 4th,

to get the Wallowa- county people
to Join us and combine the two fairs.

ally the same as the old one, but with
this exception, many of the premiums
hare been raised and new features
added, and also a large special list
