NOTES.
The Bloomington band furnished
excellent music all through the
fair. We have one of the very best
bands in this vicinity.
The old favorites, the Slayton
Jubilee Singers, were as popular as
ever. They sang on the grounds
and gave concerts in the Baptist
church Thursday and Friday even
ings.
/ The Frank e. Long Stock COM
pany entertained large audiences in
the city hall all the week.
Goodly delegations were here
from all neighboring towns. Lam
caster and Glen Haven were especi-
ally well represented.
1t was the best natured crowd
that we ever mixed up with.
There were more good-looking
people, especially young ladies, than
we have ever seen together in one
party. Editors Johnson of Lam
caster and Roethe of Fennimore as
sisted in bringing up this average.
George E. Groom, Cassville: I
have attended many fairs, but this
was the pleasantest afternoon l ever
passed on fair ground.
Among acquaintance from abroad
we noticed DR.. U. S. Lewis of East
Dubuque, Jack Shrake of Nc
Oregon, Iowa, Dr. w. I'll. Lewis of
Alden, Iowa, Thos. Leamy of
Shullsburg, and Dan Needham and
wife of Lewiston, Idaho.
The large tables on the grounds
and hotels and restaurants down
town fed everybody all they cared
