THE STREET FAIR.

Our street fair last Friday was a
grand success In every way, and 1t
seemed so much larger an affair, as it
is several years since anything of the
kind had been going on here. The
Ladies Improvement League was the
instigator, and though they were few
in number, they showed what could be
accomplished by endurance. Al large
display of vegetables was the main at
traction ON che street. and it did one .
heart good to see what our soil can pro-
duce in that line. In the fancy work
department were many beautiful arti-
cles, several quilts and some little
dresses over 60 years of age were q
novelty in the array Of modern needle
work.
The culinary department did not
show off as expected, but this does not
indicate that the Bruno ladies' are not
good eooksi
The livestock exhibits was not as
large As could have been expected, but
several teams were quite an attraction
to our farmers.
The ladies' of the Presbyterian church
served a chicken pie dinner at noon and
made very nice sum for the church.
After they cleared their things away
the Swedish ladies' from the country
served lunch all afternoon and evening,
50 none needed to go hungry that day.
Other features Of the day were .
baby show, where Mr.. Bigelow D bounc-
ing boy won the prize an the best baby.
contest as to who was the ugiiest
looking married man, In which Land
man ID. G. Halsh was the winner; and
contest as 10 who was the best look
ing married woman. and in this Mrs.
Wiekiund was the happy winner. Our
boys and girls had races Of all kinds.
and the farmers tried to beat the town
men at tug of war, but were beaten.
All in all, everyone had good time.
