Smith's band baa been engaged tor the occasion, aad all the signs are aasplcioas for a grand celebration. Now let ererybody joia in making it a saocess, and all Onpeis reserve their kicks aatil after tbe Foortb.
If enterprise aad hard work and car*'- fol and coarteona attention to tb« wants of cnatomars irill bring sneoess then tba firm of Bbrdera ft Keith will hare it ia abnodant measnre and with the meaanre ronoded np and rnantng over.
Tbe lateat effort In tbe direction of enterprise Is the erection of an immense grain and implement warehonae ad¬ joining their old bnilding jnat aooth of tbe freight depot. The bnilding is 59a 78 feet two storiev high with oonoreta floor, made of extra heavy timbers and tboronghly braced and strengthened tbronghont. Years of experience bad made the members ot Ihe firm thoroagh- ly familiar with the needs of their basi ness and wben completed nothing wHI be lacking in the new bnilding which is neoeesary or convenient. Another rrl- dence of the entarprlaa ot this fira will be fonnd in their ad on tbe eighth page of this issas.
Thnir proposition to give a fnll day's "nt'rtaiuiii-^nt to their patroaii, inolad- Ing a frr.: inncb^B and ice cream and in addition to give away to some ana ia tbe crowd a brand new rnbber tired bnggy certainly lacks nothing either Ic liberality or origiaality.
The Big Day Is Saturday, Jans 37, and ws predict a crowd which will rival John BnMnson's show day.
Tke firm extends a cordial and courteous invitation to every body to procure tickets for tbe drawing and to oome prepared to stay all day. A nnm bar ot attractlooa are being prepared which 1)111 be announced later.
