lions Of the homo and married life,
Since then there have been several

FARMERS ARE INTERESTED.

Nicollet County's 45th annual fair
which was held in St. Peter Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
was one of the very best County Fairs
ever held in that city. Weather con-
ditions were nearly perfect and on both
days people from far and near came to
attend the fair and renew old friendships.
In the neighborhood of $500 people
were in attendance Tuesday. There
was entertainment for all; music for lovers
of music, races for those that like races;
ball games for fans of the national past
time; free attractions and in fact there
were things innumerable for the amuse-
ment of the multitude. Especially
worthy of mention are the three free acts
that had been booked by the fair manage
ment. Much credit for the success Of
the fair must be given the farmers of
Nicollet County and especially to the
various Farm Clubs. There were no
less than six township exhibits. We'd
