SOME GREAT :
~RACTIO
HAVE BEEN BOOKED FOR COUNTY
FAIR
SUPPER A GREAT SUCCESS
AND FAIR BOARD EXTENDS ITS
THANKS TO THE LADIES.

The new woman's building is show
ing up to great advantage on the
grounds and will be FAR enough COM
pleted for use during the coming fair.
OF course 1t will not be finished as
the plans provide for, but it will be
a great help ever as it is. The bal
cony and porches will not be built,
neither will there be water in the
building, but with a good fair this
year it will be completed this fall.
The free attractions are to be re-
membered. The dogs and goats are
old friends, having visited us once be-
gore; but Bonnie" the horse who
knows more than some people, will
be a great attraction for the young
and old as we'll. She knows SO much
about figures that she was once of
fered the chair Of mathematics in
a female seminary, but refused be-
cause she had too much horse
for such a frivolous Job. Fanny
the diving dog, is another wonderful
female, her INTEL gent leap through
the air being a feat of great inter
est. Then the two boy acrobats, they
are the youngest in the business and
display the finish and grace of men
of long experience and more years.
Don't miss these free attractions.
Part of them will appear on the street
in the evening with the band con-
certs and other events will keep you
all entertained until time to go to
bed and get ready foI the next day.
The big supper in behalf of the
woman'S building was a tremendous
success. Everybody in town and all
the ladies in the country who possibly
could gave Of their time, as we'll as
sustenance, toward the making of q
glorious neighborhood picnic. The
gross receipts wer over $4,000 and
the net gain for the building fund was
$325.00.
Now, dear people, please remember
the fair must have plenty of good ex-
hibits. The buildings are all being
put in order and with the increased
room it is entitled to samples of
the best you have in all lines of en-
deavor. Stock, produce, household
manufactures, art, poultry, in fact all
the different things that are raised
on the farm or made in the home are
welcome to a place. Bring them in
and be a factor in the greatest
ty fair in the great northwest.
Read the Register fo. full program
the week before the fair.
Resolutions.
At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Brookings County Fair
association, held at the office of the
secretary, September 5, 1910, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
The BrOokings County Fair asso-
citation having decided to hold a sup
per for the purpose of raising money
for the building fund of the woman's
building, and the ladies of Brookings
and the county surrounding having
been asked to assist; and
Whereas, the ladies of the city of
Brookings and of the country for
many miles around having given of
their time, their labor and their sub
stance in so liberal and cheerful a
manner as to make the supper a
grand and glorious success; and
Whereas, without this devoted as
sistance from the ladies the supper
would have been a complete failure;
therefore, be it
Resolved, that the sincere and
nearly tudllhS VI IHc DloOhluSS SOuu-
ty Fair association be rendered to all
those ladies, both OF the city and the
country, who by their donations, their
labor and their enthusiasm made it
possible for the supper given on the
evening of September 2, 1910, to be
a grand and memorable event; bring
ing together hundreds Of people, stir
ring up interest in the welfare of the
county, and infu3iEg a spirit of friend
illness and neighborship that will make
for more n the history of Brookings
county than any other event that has
TRANSFERRED in many years.
The association tenders to them it's
most humble homage, ever horing
that their pathway through life may
be tempered with the sprightly glow
of health and the kindly warmth of
affection and respect. And that they
may always look back with pride up
on this occasion when their united eff
forts were given to the benefit of the
county and the building up Of the
DrooE;poc County Eair accnciafion
