We want our good friend at Liv-
ingston to know that we appreci-
ate his expression of regret that
be missed our Signal letters and
we trust there were others that
missed US. We hope that each
week hereafter there will appear
something from Brodhead The
Brodhead Fair which closed last
Friday was a bowling success,
especially so in point of attend
ance, the second day being possi
bic a record breaker for the
county. Such attendance should
inspire the management to offer
better premiums and provide for
better attractions. 1t should be
the desire of each stockholder to
make the next fair. each year a
better and more up-to-date fair
and this cannot be done by stay
