FAIR NOTES.

FAIR NOTES.
| During last Thursday afternoon,
when the Stevens County Fair was in
full blast the TRIBUTE man made his
appearance in a carriage somebody
else's carriage) and proceeded to look
things over. Following are few of
the notes which his well worn note
book now contains:
C. X. Light and j. E. Spooner each
greeted the weary scribe with two
bright dollars and are held in CRATE
full remembrance.
Among the vegetables, we noticed
fine basket of potatoes exhibited by
o. Tewksbury, which shows that in
addition to his knowledge of the
tonsorial art and the carpenters trade,
! Mr.. Tewksbury also understands how
to handle hoe.
Helgeson & Hanson displayed a
fine line of shoes. Boots and shoes
are speciality with them as their
attractive exhibit would indicate.
| ID. Good exhibited samples Of
furniture and fine lot of stoves. He
has one stove at his store now that Is
a sample of class that he is selling
! cheap. The stove is called the "Peer-
less Peninsular." 1t is nickle-plated,
base burning, surface feeding, has an
immense radiating surface and is a
10. dandy in every respect. This
| stove was not at the Fair but at ten
| cents line we can see great many
| attractions about it anyway. n you
will call at Mr.. Goods you can see
for yourself.
Fl. B. Wolff had an attractive ex-
| hbit i'll dry goods and ready-made
clothing. 1t was impossible to make
an exhibit at the rink give all ade-
quate idea of his immense stock, but
the samples shown will nevertheless
! indicate part of what may be ex-
pected in the stock from which they
| were taken.
G.. Kohler had fine exhibit of har-
nesses, robes, saddles, etc. which
spoke we'll for the quantity and quail
ty of goods kept by him.
J. E. Danielson made an attractive
exhibit of dry goods and ladies cloaks.
No two cloaks were alike. Mr.. Daniel
son can show thirty different styles
and kinds of ladies cloaks and the
prices marked upon them seemed, to
us at least, to be very low.
a. A. Stones exhibit of furniture
and stoves attracted no small amount
of attention. Stoves now are season.
| able goods and all who have them to
buy, before cold weather are, interes-
ted in seeing all new styles and latest
| improvements. This will account for
the interest shown in the stove part
of the exhibit, 1t may not be out of
the way to remark, that by going to
Mr.. Stones store you can see greater
variety of stoves than at the Fair.
CD. Croonquist made large dis
play of dry goods and added consider
ably to the interest of the Fair. Mr..
Croonquist may be depended upon to
get to the front every time.
r. F, Elliott, the photographer had
a novel exhibit. in addition to Q
number of pictures showing his work,
he exhibited cabinet of minerals
which he has been great portion OF
his life in collecting, The specimens
were rare and numerous.
The ladies did their full share to-
war making the Fair a success and
arranged fine display of eatahles,
fancy work, etc. An enterprise in
which the ladies take no interest will
never amount to much,
"Silversides" the imported Red
PoIled bull owned by HI. w. Stone &
co. was on exhibition and was great
ly admired, This is the only animal
of the kind in the state, which fact
does not detract at all from his value.
| L. H. Stanton, II. p. Watson and
others displayedsa large number OF
superior cattle. The exhibit in this
line showed plainly that the stock
raising interests in this county are
second only to wheat and indicate
that soon stock will take the;lead.
There are great many hogs in this
county, but only a few of them were
exhibited.
J. House exhibited his well known
driving mare with two of her colts.
The colts are promising animals and
Mr.. House has every reason to he
proud of them.
d. G.. Smith, J. w. Bailey, L. G.
Spooner, X. J. Husevold, T.. p. Wat
son, s. Larson and l.. III. Stanton
each had fine specimens of horse flesh
on exhibition. Some of the horses
and colts now wear blue ribbons and
some do not,
In the glass ball shooting contest
}, FL. w, Stone Jr. broke nine balls out
of ten and took the cake. 1t must
have been a cold day for Other
shootlsts as their records will not
bear inspection.
Anton Watzke thinks more than
ever of his driving horse. He got
right away with the trotting race and
didn't have to work very hard either
i e. P. Watson's driving team was
decided to be first best and I'll. w
Stone & Co.'S second.
