The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1893-08-11

organization we know OF, the Southern
South Dakota District Fair at Scotland
Sept. 1922, 1898, excepted, of course.
Woonsocket Times: The Mitchell
Corn Palace will open September 9th
and continue in session until October
9th. The Exposition building will be
enlarged to nearly double the size OF
last year, and more space will be given
to individual county exhibits, which
will be made special feature. One
thousand dollars are offered as premi-
ums, $500 to the county having the best
exhibit, $3.50 to the second best, $3.50
for the third and 500 for the fourth. AL
thoug Sanborn county is the very next
neighbor to the Corn Palace city, she
failed to have any exhibit at the Palace
last year, except small booth occupied
by the enterprising editor of the
Letcher Blade, who had a cred
liable exhibit for the purpose of
advertising his land agency. An effort
was made to induce the county board or
the agricultural Society to take hold
of the matter last year and collect and
arrange an exhibit, but a few small cal
ibred fellows thwarted the enterprise by
bowling it down on the public ex-
pense" wall, and the matter went by de-
fault and Sanborn, one of the best coun-
ties in the state, had no exhibit. The
Times hopes that the mistake will not
be repeated this year and suggests that
the agricultural society take hold of the
matter and collect and prepare the ex-
hibit. The society cannot be expected
TO do this work gratuitously, of course,
and an enterprise that is SO clearly in
the interest of the county certainly
ought to be, at least partially, supported
by a county appropriation.
Sioux Falls Press, 30: Messrs. We'll
liver & Zwemer, who are undertaking
to haye respectable exhibit from this
county at the Mitchell Corn Palace Ex-
position, say they think the display will
be a creditable one. Every farmer who
has been spoken to has expressed a will
ingness to pick out some. of the best
grain in the fields and bring it in.
The exhibit will consist of samples of
all kinds of grain in the straw, corn of
all varieties, every kind Of vegetables
of good size and fruits. There is no
reason why Minnehaha county cannot
have as big and fine a display as any
county in the state as the best kind OF
crops are always harvested here. All
that is necessary is for the farmers to
assist somewhat by bringing the grains,
ETC., to the city.
There are sure to be a large number
ofpeople from other states and from
foreign countries at the Mitchell Ex-
position as this is the only corn palace
of this year, and the Milwaukee rail
road company will run special trains
from Chicago to Mitchell during the
time the palace is open. A reduced
rate will also be put into effect and
South Dakota will thus receive as much
or more advertising as she does at the
: Worlds Fair.
