Official paper notes the Williams County Fair was well attended and praised for exhibits and attractions but failed to be financially self supporting. Gate receipts were 2602.49, under 1916, with no funds for building repairs or major improvements. Premiums will be paid, but depreciation and enhancements lack funding.
The piece urges voters in Williams County to approve a levy of one half of one mill in November to support maintenance of the county fair. It argues the 1916 fair was strong and that continued aid could build a lasting, prideful institution, worth the small tax to the average taxpayer.
The piece urges continued public school support and teacher encouragement to equip youth for future community responsibilities. It notes education as a modern necessity across all trades and calls for interest in schools, plus a mention of McKenzie County’s Agricultural Fair in Alexander with dates September 14 and 15 and premiums for farm and home products. William English returned Friday from Minneapolis.
