Ellendaie Leader: We want to say
right here THAI Fargo is justly de-
serving OF the credit Of being the
biggest little city in the world and
her people are the best people on earth.
Nothing was left undone, and the
various committees on whom fell the
work Of entertaining, deserve great
credit.
The banquet was held in Prizes hall
ana attended by about 800 persons.
A several course dinner, as good as
any ever served a. any former function
of this kind, was beautifully served.
After the banquet the editors ac-
cepted the kind invitation of Manager
Webster Of the Orpheum and attended
the second performance of that popu-
lar playhouse. During the perform
ance several members of the press
were thrown bouquets from the stage
which gave added zest to the excellent
performance.
The editors, individually and coli
lectiveIy, visited the many points of
interest about the city, the newspaper
and job printing plants of which Fargo
is well supplied and all of them first
class, the agricultural college and
Fargo college. At the latter place the
department Of Journalism was in
charge and rendered the editors a royal
reception which included speeches and
lunch. The newspaper exhibit includ-
ed several old publications. There were
papers containing an account of the
inauguration OF Washington and the
assassination of President Lincoln.
The committees having charge of the
various phases of the entertainment
were untiring in their attention. Pres
ident Hardy and Secretary Slime of
the commercial club were in constant
service and made the club rooms seem
like home to the boys. The ladies were
most excellently entertained by the
good lady boosters. The art of boost
ing has become so much a part of
Fargo that the ladies are as good x
perts as their husbands and it is little
wonder that the ladies of the press
were so we'll taken III of.
We want to extend to every citizen
Of Dickey county an invitation to at
tend the state fair at Fargo next year
and we want every farmer, especially
in the vicinity of Glendale, to begin
thinking now Of having something on
exhibition at the fair. The fair is a
good booster for the state. Fargo
people are doing their share in the good
work and IL they can have the assist
ance of our people the North Dakota
fair will soon be OF the big ones.
Fargo, the biggest little city in the
world. Long may she live.
Neville journal: Fargo did itself
proud in entertaining the big boosters
of North Dakota and the commercial
club of that city deserves a wore Of
praise for the in which it held
the reins for the success in entertain
ing the newspaper men and ladies OF
the state. We heard numerous re-
marks OF the manner Of generosity
and hospitality rendered by the club
and the city at large. The banquet
was indeed a feature worthy Of special
mention and the programme carried
out at, the tables. was splendidly ar,
ranged and Toastmaster PluTn1ey is tt
be complimented on the selection o.
the after dinner speeches. Secretary
4 Slime deserves credit for his efficient
work in behalf of the commercial club
The editors were entertained Friday
evening at the orpheum operahouse
and Saturday evening at the Fargo
Icollege.
We must not forget to mention tbs
fact that much of the success of thu

Western Newspaper Union, ]. p. Ed.
