The Second Annual Fair A Big
Success.

| county 1alr was Digger ana Detter
than last year and a grand success in
every particular event seems to be
the unanimous verdict OF all who at
tended this event. The weather was
ideal. The exhibits surpassed any
thing ever before attempted here and
would have been a credit to any coun
ty in this or any other state. The
crows were large and orderly and
free from rowdies. Gov Byrne was
here and made short address on the
first day, and Hon. Harry l.. Candy
! OF Rapid City was here oa the second
day aud addressed q good crowd, and
on the last day Judge Rice was here
and addressed large crowd. The
Judge made big hit with the fair
crowds and we heard many compli
ments on his speech. Ia fact we
heard many say he made the only
speech during the Fair. He talked
at some length and his audience was
eager to have him talk longer. While
tho speakers were all candidates for
some political Office, none of them
talked politics in their addresses here
The Indian races and sports drew
large crowds, and everything passed
off smoothly and the Second Annual
Fair will live long in the history Of
the county as being one Of the best
and largest Fairs pulled off on the
entire Rosebud this year 1t was one
Of the best boosts that Mellette coun
ty has had for we had products in the
exhibit building to show those that
'were from Missouri" aud seeing is
believing After viewing the exhibits
many had to admit that they never
saw anything to equal this show even
in old settled countries. We should
begin planning to make next years
event as much larger and better as
this years fair was over last.
