The Morton county Fair, to be held at
Mandan, Oct. l, Q, 8, promises to be an
event of unusual interest all over North
Dakota, because of the fact that it is the
first fair ever held west of the Missouri
river in this state. The railroads are
literally inclined, and such rates have
been made as will place the fair privil-
eges within the reach of almost all who
care for them. To those who want to
learn and hear about a perfect section of
country for diversified farming this will
be great educational medium. The
managers have secured many unique and
instructive features, in addition to some
first.class horse and bicycle racing.
