THE CONCORDLA CORNICE WORKS IN FULL BLAST. -The Concordia cornice works, Coron Seyster proprietors, are doing an increasing business. The firm has been shiping out cornices and galvanized iron work every day for the last two weeks and are doing as fine a lot of work as was ever turned out of an establishment. To-day we happened into their place of business and we find them hard at work, proprietors and all, manufacturing and getting ready to ship galvaniged work of every character.

Outlook Promises Grand Time For All Who Visit The Big Fair at Concordia AUGUST 31st TO SEPT. 3d! Graceful Trotters, Rolling Pacers and Flying Runners to the Number Forty Already Entered. Everything At The Grounds In Splendid Shape. Reports From Adjoining Counties Affirm That Thousands From Abroad Will Attend. Never before in the history of Cloud county has the outlook for a successful fair in every detail and particular been so promising and we might say, decidedly flattering, as it is this year.

The big fair at Concordia is being favorably discussed by every interested citizen of Cloud county, besides its live stock, agricultural and speed ring premiums are attracting the serious attention of thousands of people living in surrounding counties, hundreds and hundreds of whom have already made entries and will certainly be present. Agricultural, horticultural and mechanical halls have been placed in excellent shape, numberless horse stalls, cattle sheds and pig pens have been added, and a score of men are putting the finishing touches on the race course, which is naturally the best in Northern Kansas. Noted breeders of Republic, Jewell, Mitchell, Ottawa, Clay, Riley and Washington counties will, ere this article reaches the reader, have their herds of thoroughbred horses and cattle and pure blooded swine on our fair grounds. Not only does the live stock and agricultural features promise many grand sights, but the SPEED RING attractions wIll eclipse everything heretofore witnessed outside of the great cities. Something over 40 Kings and Queens of the turf will compete for the several purses, whose records go as low as 2:19 and 2:25 in trotting and pacing and below the fifties in running.

Fast horses from Chicago, Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, Atchison, Emporia, Council Grove, Abilene and Clay Center have arrived and are awaiting the impatient opportunity to "start" in their respective races. The speed ring certainly gives promise of many notable attractions and will undoubtedly prove the drawing card of the event. We gently urge the entire populace of this county to turn out en masse and give the Big Fair the hearty support its varied and interesting features deserves. The family ticket has been placed at the low price of $2 and the single admission ticket will only tax the purchaser a lone 25 cents. Remember the dates31st to Sept.
