G. H. Allen, P. M. Her Annual Street Fair and Agri cultural Display a Brilliant Success. h-! ' Friday and Saturday last were among the biggest days ever exper ienced in the history of our sister city, of Forest big in every way that goes to make up a street fair: big in the orderly conduct of every man, woman and child that attended. Mountaineous in the cordiality and kindly greeting that was extended to the visitors by her citizens, and big in the way of attendance, and immense in the agricultural, horticultural and garden exhibits. The quality of the exhibits were as tine as you will see at any of the average fairs. The horse show features were also among the very best features and we doubt if any fair in this circuit made' a better showing in the respective class, than was shown at this year's street fair of our sister citj. Forest City possesses in proportion to population, as many loyal, patriotic citizens as any city in our great state their civic pride is, and has always been, the admiration of all her sister cities, and in this respect, her example is worthy of.emulation byjall the resi dents of the towns of Holt county Whatever she undertakes she goes af ter with a determination to win, and the "knocker" is immediately relega ted to some alley way to commune with himself. The success of her 1909 show is without a parallel in her his tory, and congratulations are in order from every soul who attended. In order that our people from the more remote parts of our county may form a correct idea of the entertain ment, and the readiness with which her neighbors and friends responded to make the affair a success, we give a list of the exhibits and those who were in the prize winner's list.
