KERRICK
Community Fair A Success.

The 18th annual Community fair
was a complete success. 1t is esti-
mated that at 3 p. m. between 1900
and 1000 people were on the grounds
and about $50 cars were parked. We
believe that the fair was as claimed
Bigger and Better" Certainly it was
wonderful exhibition of what can
be done by proper community spirit.
People do things for the fair that they
could hardly be hired to do and that
illustrates how they feel about it.
They will work, and work hard, days
ahead of time and all day at the fair
and all night too without a dime or
thought of anything other than
making the fair a success. Those
who planned, worked and donated
were from Park, Bruno, Kerrick,
Nickerson and Duquette and other
places. The Kerrick community ap-
preciates the helpful spirit shown.
D. ]. Curry came from Superior Sat-
urday, to spend the day at the fair.
George Bornhoft has been painting
the Presbyterian church and has the
job about finished.
A glove was lost on the fair grounds
and the mate to it is in the bank at
Kerrick. Any one finding the glove,
kindly return it to the bank.
A number of pie tins from the
fair are at the bank awaiting de-
livery to owners. If you have any
will you please call?
If you have any news items won't

anxious to give an accurate report
of local doings but we miss lot of
