Bed Cloud ought to havo a street fair
this fall. When wo say this we mean
it. Tho county fair which has been
held in past years and which is the ono
attraction which we havo had to bring
a crowd to our city in tho fall will not
bo hold. A street fair piopisrly gotten
up would bring tho largest crowd ever
seen in our city nnd n crowd that will
leave inoro money in tho city than nny
other This year nothing of tho kind
is to bo held west of us nearer than
Alma nnd none in other directions
nearer than Grand Island and Fre
mont, 90 that wo would havo a largo
scope of country to draw from. Tho
fact that Alma is having another street
fair this year shows that there is
money in it for her merchants. Tills
year of all other years, boing tho nat
ional campaign year, roald lend at
tractions to tho show. Bed Cloud bus
iness meii should shake otl tho lethar
gic state tlioy havo been in for sovernl
years and let the peoplo know that sho
is tho bust up-to-dato city id the valley.
You owu it to your farmer patrons to
