The Best Street Fair Milbank
Has Ever Had
The Harvest Carnival and
street fair held in Milbank this
week has proved a grand success
in every way. 1t has not only
attracted a large attendance OF
visitors from the surrounding
country and from abroad, but it
has drawn from these visitors
the warmest praise and com
mendatiOn for the enterprise
shown by the citizens of Milbank,
and it has proved to all who have
attended the fair that we are
living in one of the great agri-
cultural regions of the country,
with a wonderfully productive
soil and favorable climate. Fol
lowing is necessarily condensed
description of some of the booths
The old soldiers booth was
marked with a sign, &c. A. r.
and W. r. c. the letters being
formed of the army bean-an
old favorite of the union soldier
IN days gone by.
The root crop at the HERALD
ADVANCE booth attracted the at
tention of the crowds, and in
beets, carrots, turnips, ruta-
bagas and mangel wurtzel there
were some wonderful growths,
which clearly set forth what
Grant county loan is capable of
doing if you drop seed into it..
L. L. Conright erected one of
the haudsomest booths in the
city for the accommodation of the
little Misses doll competition
The booth was his own handi-
work, and was evidence that
Levi is a master builder as we'll
as a poet. Another very pretty
booth was that made by M. E.
Fossum for the boys and girls
competitions.
At the Farmers bank was
displayed several unique and
prettily worked out designs of
grasses and seeds. A picture of
a boy, made of various seeds, the
handiwork of Miss Laura
Rodgers, was an artistic piece of
work, and other unique pieces
were flag made from beans, an
anchor and a Tyre of grasses and
grams in the straw and a prettily
arranged farm with real soil
with grain fields, house, creek,
etc.
CUCUMBERS AND TOMATOES
A nice showing of cucumbers
and some tomatoes were on
exhibit at Emanuel the furni-
ture mans booth.

Piles of melons.
OATS, BARLEY, FLAX
In the G.: w. Hawes booth
there was a fine variety of oats
barley and flax, some 25 or 80
samples Of which were exhibited,
showing the fine quality of these
grains raised in Grant county.
J. S. Farley had a booth to
bring tears to your eyes and
furnish you with a breath strong
enough to pull a load of hay. 1t
contained some Is varieties of
the biggest kind of onions that
you would care to see.
C4bBAGE
For the fellow who likes sour
krout or krout when it is not
sour, the A. G.. Lender booth
was a mouth watering place to
linger around. There were a
hundred cabbages there that
had the swelled head to astonish
the natives.
BREAD AND CAKES
A good display of bread and
cakes made from wheat raised in
Grant county, milled in Milbank
by the Milestone Valley mills
and made into bread and pastry
by our Grant county housewives,
was shown at the Lindquist &
