The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-09-16
A Lot of Winning Candidates for
Popular Favor, No Oppo-
sition In Sight.
Big Band Contest Arranged, Gen.
erOus Premiums and Big
Show Besides.

If hard work counts the coming
Redwood county fair will be hum
mer. 81, 800 has been secured for
premiums and the best farmers and
farmers wives will be in a position,
as judges, to know that they will be
given to those entitled to them.
A list of attractions has been Sc
cured that surpasses the fine ones Of
the past. The high diving from
tower 100 feet high will send thrills
up the backs of the observers and
the nine acts of this great show will
be closed by the spectacular fire
dive which has made this exhibition
famous throughout the land. AS
this exhibition takes place on the
streets and is absolutely free no one
can well afford to miss it.
After a few years of neglect the
lovers of horsefesh will have their
pets in line for a trotting race on
Mill street. This race is limited to
entries from Redwood county and
the thoroughbreds and other fleet
horses will show that politicians are
not the only things that can run in
this county. And we expect all the
fellows who are left at the primaries
to be present and learn how to get
there from our local Dan Patches.
To help pay the large expenses
made by securing the finest attrac-
lions at the state fair a mammoth
tent has been secured and it will
shelter the greatest show since Sun
day gave his; the Chautauqua won't
be in it. Think of it, young people
of the county, Douglas & Douglas,
the finest comedy acrobats of the
country will show (any young man
contemplating matrimony cannot
afford to miss this chance of learn
ing how to dodge Madame LaCowal
the greatest lady trapeze artist land
no young lady hoping to change her
lot will miss this chance of finding
how to catch on).
Geo. Faro, the great hand balanc-
err, will be a study for the fellow
who is candidate and wants to be
on both sides of the question, and
other features as good will make the
old tent mecca for the family which
has hustled whole year and want
a day of fine entertainment within
the reach of limited pocket book.
Jake jacobson has sent on his
Madison band to discourse sweet
music; the Walnut Grove band with
a rig to "beat the band" has agreed
to be with us; Fairfax has been hired
by Mike Bowling and Senator Reike
on the promise that Redwood will
vote for either of them at any time
they want anything, though both
should run for the same thing, and
will toot meIodiously, and Lucan,
that little but mighty home of Lar
son and Dickinson. has rendered the
services of the handsomest set of
fellows in America to make the
lwelkin ring, not to speak of the
bunch of artists in our local band.
Whoop! We can hardly wait until
they tune up.
| The martial Lamberton and statu-
esque Odekirk will keep order amid
the throngs; fainting females will
be rescued by Colonel Lobdell and
Adjutant Hubbard; President Dun
ham, Secretary Smith and Treasur-
er Henderson will see that every
thing promised is produced and all
in all we know that the coming fair
will be a hummer. The editors kids
have raised the size of the wad de.
manded the show every half day and
still when he sees the Redwood Falls
hustlers getting down to business he
knows the show will be worth it.
