chimes Visits St. Cloud and
Other Points

A bunch of boosters of the Sank
Centre Commercial Club, aided and
abetted by nearly dozen of the fair
sex, sixty-two strong in all and car
ried in fourteen automobiles, woke
the echoes in Melrose, New Munich,
Freeport, Albany, Avon, st. Joseph,
st. Johns University, St. Cloud, Waite
Park, Rockville, Cold Spring, Rich
mond, Roscoe and St. Martin We'd
nesday. The atmospheric disturb
ance raised on the occasion was be-
cause of the fact that the tenth an
nual fair of the Agricultural Society
OF Stearns County is to be held in
this city Sept. II, Ii, IA. Ifany per-
sons living within considerable dis
lance of the route of Wednesdays
tour remained ignorant of that fact,
they must have been deaf and blind
The Sank Centre Band, 20 pieces
strong under the efficient leadership
of DR.. H. L. Lamb, made music at
each stopping place, the advertising
committee of the fair association
posted large placards and distributed
innumerable dodgers outlining the at
fractions of the fair, the ticket COM
mittee rustled around through each
town and sold good bunch of season
tickets, and every man and woman in
the bunch talked for the fair:
The party left here half an hour
late but arrived at Freepoft fifteen
minutes ahead of schedule and at St.
Cloud at 12:15 instead of 1890 as
scheduled, and also visited St. Johns
University and entertained the black
robed Fathers of the Order of st.
Benedict. From St. Cloud EDWARDS
there was bad going and some car
trouble owing to mud holes and wat
er in the roads caused by a cloud
burst the night before. Consequent
ly Paynesville had to be cut from the
schedule. The party arrived home at
10 p. m. tired but happy.
TheS Sank Centreites were welcomed
heartily at each stopping place. At
st. Cloud Dave Abeles had his big
touring car out and met the visitors
at the postoffice. There the cars halt
ed, the band alighted and marched
down St. German street playing, the
Abeles car leading and those of the
visitors following. The whole town
was out to see the visitors notwit h
standing it was the dinner hour. o.
Scrivener met them at the post office
and marched with the band and play
ed his trombone. There was some
think doing every minute. 1t was
the best advertising the county fair
ever had. Two more trips will be
made before the fair, and a meeting
to arrange fer them will be held at
the Commercial Club tonight. The
following cars participated:
Pilot Car, DR.. H. F. Hennemaun;
Krit car, to be given away the last
dvy of the fair, Archie Hogan, driver;
G.. Hillerud, Gunder Jensen, Thos.
Smith, Chas. Brown Jr., Geo. r. Borg
mann, B. F. Dubois, Mrs. Frank
Pangburn, J. A. Schoenhoff, Edwin
Morse, Sidney Mann, E. A. Richards,
Mr.. Dewhirst. Mrs. Frank Pangburn
established herself warmly in the
hearts Of all by her fine driving and
ind0mitable spirit.
The Commercial Club, by its presi-
dent DR.. II. F. Hennemann, through
the Herald, thanks the owners Of
cars for helping the fair by sending
them on the trip.
Indications are that the fair will be
the best yet. All that is now needed
is good weather and If that comes the
association will be greatly pleaseds
Everything else is assured to make
