ABIG EVENT
WHOLE COUNTY IS INTERESTED
IN MAKING THE MATTER
A BIG SUCCESS.
The fair management is arrang
ing some of the best prizes of any
lair association that has yet been
compared to the local one. The
i ash prizes as now being compiled by
IheW allowa county association are
very high when brought Into com
parison with several older associa
tions that have been long established
and hvae been paying dividends to
their stockholders. i
To give some ktea of what l being
do.ie, the local association will
spend on the fair a sum probably of '
$4,000. There will be given i.i cash
prizes alone about 11,500. Added to
this the business men will offer
special cash prizes amounting in, the
neighborhood of several hundred dol
lars. The amusement feature of the
lair will not at alL beforgotten nor j
neglected, and on this feature alone I
$1,000 will be expended.
The county has been divid-ad into
districts for competition for many of
the cash prizes, giving all an oppor
tunity to win, then sweep slakes
lollow among the striving winners.
The management Is thus arranging
the cash prizes so that the widest
interest will be manifest In winning '
them, and so that everyone in the
county will have an opportunity to
win something.
The executive hoard met Tuesday
night in the office of A. C. Miller,
transacting detais of business and
