LITTLE GRANT.

A great deal of smoke ia this vic
inity-seems to originate from the for
est fires in Northern Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Three of our prominent farmers had
business in the county seat Monday.
The gentlemen referred to were Carl
Kap, VIM Welsh. and Isl Jeidy.
Jos. Addison had business in Lam
caster last week. He was accompan-
led home by VIM. TrIloupe.

and Albert Krohn.
John CULTS new residence is now
ready for the plasterers. The plaster
employed will be John Schommer Of
Dubuque.
Our citizens have been constructing
several sections of new road of late.
Isl" Jeidy assisted by his hired man
and Arno Brandemeuhl recently con-
structed good piece of road on the
Jeidy hill. Isl" thoroughly I'M
derstands road building and although
he seldom exhibits his skill in this de-
partment he can do the work if neces-
sary. He has under his jurisdiction
the hill bordering his farm on the
south. We dare say that there is no
more difficult piece of permanet road
building than to build the road up this
hill. VIM. Knapp has been building
a piece of road but few rods east of
that constructed by Jeidy. VIM, is a
fairly competent road builder and has
been travelling the road up to and ad
jacent to the approach of the new
ridge at the foot of the Kaap hill.
Gay Landon made business trip to
the county seat last week.
Harvey Hubert had business in
Bloomington Wednesday.
Burnell Newman, of Brownsville,
Texas, visited friends and relatives in
Little Grant last week.
Carrie and Jessie Pendleton had
business in Bloomington Wednesday.
The Bloomington fair was an un-
qualified success and received the lib
eral attendance and patronage of our
citizens The exhibits were better
than ever before. The crowds exceed
ed any previous record both on Thurs
day and Friday and the attractions
were excellent. The races were good,
especially the running races. The
base ball games were good. especially
the Glen Haven't agley game which
was won by the former. The band
music was good and the band demon
strated that they have no superiors
in the county. The tugs of war
we're hotly contested and although
bennington won we would have like
to have seen representative team
from Little Grant Ego after" them.
In general the Bloomington fair was
a complete success as all who attended
will testify. Little Granters in at
tendance we're: Frank Hickok, John
CULTS, Henry Pink's, ,Flavian Cher
