Elsewhere iu this issue of the
Sentinel appears an advertising announcement of the Northern District
Fair. Although tbis Fair is a neighboring institution, located on ample
grounds near tbe city of Cadillac, it
bas become one of the biggeat and
best of Michigan Fairs. Its managers
publicly state that they pay more for
free attractions tban is paid by tbe
West Michigan Siate'lFair at Grand
Rapids. The Northern District Fair
bas certainly made a big name for
itself by reason of ite
enterprise and its a m -

attractions.fc.Clare fpeople are fortunate in having 00 fine an attraction
so located that tbeyfean spend almost
