TWO MARKET DAYS
BOTH BIG SUCCESS
Programs and Attractions of Both
Two Days More Than Pleased
Crowd of Visitors

Langdon's two market days, Wednes-
day and Thursday last week. are
generally conceded to have been a
success, both by u t~ownspeople and
the visitors who came to take IN the
"doings". The rain on Wednesday
afternoon. the opening day, of course
was not on the program and resulted
in the calling off until Thursday after
noon of the sports program. The Mt.
Carmel band was here with sixteen of
its nineteen players and gave a fine open
air concert at intervals both days.
Both the auto and industrial parades
were features that proved we'll worth
coming to see and the number of visitors
here on the second Market Day, Thurs
day would easily number two thous and
people from all parts of the county.
The free street attractions, the ball
games and the merry-go-round gave
plenty of amusement to old and young
and the splendid address OF Dean
Brannon, of the state university, on
"Conservation on the Farm" after sup.
per on Thursday was a GROWING feature
of the entire two days program and
we'll worth the while of the many who
remained to the last to hear this num-
Der. Altogether it may be said that
the Langdon commercial club can we'll
be proud of the effort made, also that
it will result in much good for the city,
especially as Langdon made good in
every attraction which it had adver-
tised for the entertainment OF its Market
Day visitors.
