Harvest began quite generally
through the county to-day.
Judge NJ. J. Severance has been
mentioned as q candidate for associate
justice of the supreme court on the
Democratic ticket.
II. II. Day, of West Mankato, and
his brother P. d. Day, of Shelby town
ship, voted for Harrison in 1910 and will
do 30 again this year.
The Presbyterians have fixed We'd
nesday evening, Aug. 10TH, as the date
for their concert. 1t promises to be the
finest musical event for long time.
The Baptist Sunday School yester-
day pledged 500 toward the work on
the church building. This makes $500
gwen by the school toward this work
and is a record of which to be proud.
1t has been suggested that a bicycle
race be made one of the attractions of
the fair next month. Several of the
Mankato cyclists are willing to partici-
pate in such q contest and would invite
others from different parts of the state
to enter the lists.
The meeting of the Building and
Loan Association Saturday night was
well attended. A ninth series of stock
was issued and 131 shares were taken.
A number of more shares are spoken
for. The success of the ninth series is
much greater than was expected.
Keep well in mind the Presbyterian
concert at the opera house Wednesday
evening of next week. The best home
talent has been enlisted and members
of the Andrews Opera Company have
rendered their assistance. Musical tai
ent from other points in the southern
part of the state will also take part. Tick
cts 25 cents; reserved seats 30 cents.
Tickets for sale at Williams & Randall's,
Sherk's and Griebel's.
If the fair next month is going to be
. success those who have ii in charge
should exhibit a trifie more energy.
The success of a fair in any place rests
almost entirely upon the "hustling"
abilities of its promoters and managers.
The latter transfuse their enthusiasm to
the business men and citizens, and in
that way the entire people soon become
interested, and the success of the affair
is assured. But little over a month re-
mains before the dates for the fair, and
we have as yet not seen a copy OF the
premium list, and but a single announce
ment of what the program Is to be. The
newspapers of the city doubtless would
and the special features, if any, that are
those who should be most interested do
such favors.
The special meeting of the school
board Saturday night was not as harmO-
NOUS as usual. The question of enlarged
accommodations was the rock upon
which the board split. Different plans
were advocated by different members,
but finally il was decided to secure plans
for q building to be erected on the
Pleasant Grove lot. Owing to the
crowded condition of the buildings
resolutions were passed to exclude
children under SIX years Of age from all
of the schools, and to rigidly enforce the
boundary limits OF the different schools.
The latter is to cause each pupil to at
tend the school to which Ire is assigned.
The board is very much embarrassed by
the Mck of proper facilities for accom-.
modating Mankato's school population
and the refusal Of the citizens to vote
bonds for extending them is now bear.

the Nimrods are preparing their weap

well for them TO preserve these pointer
