Swift County Courier.1

1t IS gratifying to see that the prepare.
tons for the State fair to be held at st. Paul
early next month are going forward with un-
a6ated vigor and give assurances of COM
plete success. The fair is a State institu-
ton and should therefore interest every
citizen to the extent OF helping to make the
exhibition creditable to us by the display of
her many and various products and indus
tries. While the immigration to Minnesota,
especially of late years, has been very large,
the immense territory inclosed by the State
lines contains large tracts of land of the
best quality still open to settlers, and it is
by such means as the fair that our resources
become known to the thousands all over the
world who have turned to the West Tor
homes.
