Good Thunder Herald.
The Good Thunder Herald declares
that Mankato is not entitled to the
county fair and that the show should
remain in Garden City. The Herald
remarks incidentally that Good Thun-
der is the proper p lace to hold the
fair, but that town has no induce
ments to offer and is content to let the |
fair remain where it is. Mankato and |
the balance of the county are blamed |
because the fair is not more success |
full.
The Eagle Lake News remains silent |
on the anti-saloon agitation and has
nothing to say of the injunction pro-
ceedings. The News should not let slip
the opportunity to print the news
when good story is aioat.

Colonel Ryan evidently has heard of
III. P. Halls conversion and wants to
follow suit. The following is what
The GAINESVILLE Argus says: Colonel
Ryan was down from Smiths Mill
morning in too big hurry
to even say word about his favorites
in politics. They say new light has
broken in upon Mr. Ryan's vision
and that now he is beginning to see
the error of his way and to long for
a return to his old political affilia-
tlons, first love. If the Colonel really
wishes to come back we can put him
on where he can accomplish that de-
sirable end without any trouble what
ever. And we won't charge him a
cent"
