Illinois is exactly 1900. The Democrats

hundreds of persons from those two
towns were to be seen everywhere,

day by train, automobiles and buggies
not only attending the fair, but taking
occasion TO look over the town and

Mr.. Packard says that from all he

Lewistown and Fergus county had a
great future. Since coming here and
looking over the field this impression
is fully confirmed.
A republican himself, Mr.. Packard
states that the Argus will continue to
be republican paper, aiming to be
fair to all. He contemplates no change
in the policy or personnel Of the
Argus.
Within a short time he will be
joined here by Mrs. Packard, who is

gentleman to meet, with a clear un.
derstanding of the West, where he re.
sided many years before locating in
the metropolis.
