HOMECOMING GRAND SUCCESS

The Homecoming Celebration held
in the city last Friday was a most sue
cessful venture and n that will be
long remembered by those attending.
The fact that no admission of any kind
was charged speaks very highly for
our city and we venture the expendi-
ture made in making the celebration
a success will be doubly paid by the
increased business the city will get
and by the feeling those attending will
have toward the county seat. The
Board of County Commissioners are
to be thanked for the aid they gave
and OF behalf of all attending The
Courant wishes to thank the commit
tee in charge for making Friday, Sept.
10th the biggest day in the history Of
Bottineau and Bottineau County.
