Manager Kendall of the Lost and

much impressed with the merits of
the Register as an advertising medium.
In last weeks issue he advertised for

lady arrived breathlessly at the depot
to claim her property. 1t certainly
does pay to advertise in the Register.

Secretary Riley of the county fair
association, informs us that the fair
dates will likely be September Is, 16,
II and Is, the week following the state
fair. At first it was decided to hold
the fair the four days beginning Sep
TENDER %, so as not to inter.
fere with Madison, but the directors
cannot see why We should give way to
Lake county, especially as there Is
nothing to be gained by 1t. Pipestone,
Candy, Marshall and one or two other
fairs come after Madison and We
would have to compete with them for
the horses and attractions, and by
following the state fair we can no
doubt benefit more than by dancing
to Madison's music. 1t will be noted
that the fair next fall will run four
days, a change from last year, the
board deciding that this plan will
work better than a three days fair.
