GRANT COUNTY
CARNIVAL
A Call from the Committee.
The Street Fair to be the
Biggest Thing OF the Kind
Ever Held i'm the County


Biggest Thing Of the Kind
Ever Held I'm the County
The attention of the citizens of
Grant county is called to the
Carnival and Harvest Festival to
be held in Milbank in the latter
part of September of this year.
Preparations are being made to
make this the most successful
carnival ever held in the city,
and the greatest event that ever
took place in the county. Ample
funds have been provided for
high class entertainments. The
policy that has been pursued in
the past in making these enter
tainments free to all will be
followed at this carnival. Lib
eral premiu ms will be given to
exhibitors, and ample provisions
made for properly exhibiting
and preserving all exhibits.
We want every town and
every part of Grant county
represented.
We want your best corn to
exhibit.
We want your best wheat.
We want your best oats.
We want your best barley.
We want your best fruits.
We want your best tame
grasses.
We want your best and largest
vegetables.
We want your fat and fine
bred stock.
We want your best horses.
We want your best poultry.
We want your ine sheep.
We want your fine hogs.
We want everything produced
on the farm or in the garden
here on exhibition.
This carnival will not be one
of the fake character, but
highly educational affair from
which great benefits will be
derived. We want your CO.
operation and help to make the
carnival a success. Let every
farmer save and preserve some
of his best products for exhibi
tion at the carnival. If they do
this the products brought in
will surprise the farmers them
selves. They will marvel at the
resources of Grant county.
We also want to call your
attention to the fact that Grant
county has been honored by the
appointment of one of it's citizens
as member of the board Of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton Com mission for the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis in 1904. South
Dakota will nave prominent
place in the agricultural exhibit,
which it has not had at any of
the world S fairs held heretofore.
1t is our duty to see to it that
Grant county is properly pre-
sented at the st. Louis fair,
which will surpass any fair held
before it. Selections will be
made from the exhibits at our
carnival for the Grant county
exhibition at st. Louis, ard all
necessary arrangements will be
made for their preservation.
The wheat exhibition at one of
the former carnivals was selected
from many samples by the U. S.
government for the exhibit at
the Paris Exposition and took
first prize, for which one Of our
farmers received a gold medal.
The oats grown by another of
our farmers also took prize at
Paris, so don't be afraid to bring
in your products but join hands
with every other citizen to give
Grant county the prominence
she properly deserves, and to
make South Dakota foremost
among the agricultural states.
