Appropriate s? 1,5110 for County Fair
At a Joint meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce directors, officers of tho
county fair and the amusement coiu
mlttoo of tho fair hold Wednesday ev
ening, the nmusomcnt features of tho
fair wero considered, and upon mo
tion an appropriation of $1,500 was
made for attractions for tho fair and
for the expense of taking tho county
exhibit to the state fair, and for the
expense of collecting and preparing
the state exhibits.
Tho entertainment committee lias al
ready secured a number of high class
attractions for tho festival which Is to
be held as the amusement feature of
tho county fair, and one of tho feat
ures wil be aeroplane flights for three
days. Elmer Coates, a member of tho
committee went to Omaha yesterday
and while there will complete ar
rangements for the aeroplane exhibi
tions as well as secure other attrac
tions. The amusement features this
rail will be more varied and better than
evr before.
The exhibits for the county fair arc
being collected by a number of those
interested and are being prepared by
Mr. Gllninn, a specialist in that lino
who is now making his headquarters
at the state farm. It Is requested
that those who have exhibits leave
them with Mr. Gllmnn, and thus as
sist In making tho county exhibit an
attractive one, and one that will be
worthy of exhibition at the state fair.
Another matter discussed was that
of having a permanent exhibit of
Lincoln county grnliis and grasses at
tho railroad depot. This feature will
bo taken up with the Union Pacific and
tho company and the Chamber of Com
merce will work together on the prop
osition. It is believed that such an
exhibit would prove an excellent way
to advertise the county.

year will bo by far the best ever hold
and is tho duty of every1 resident of
the countv to boost It along, for It Is
ndt for tho benefit of North Platte, any
more than it is for the benefit of tho
whole county.
