Messrs. Jos. Sampson, J.F. Keenan, Lou Walker and John Hentges, Jr.,
comprised a party of well-known county seat citizens who were
distributing advertising matter and booming the LeMars carnival to be
held September 4-9.  Mr. Walker formerly resided here and met many old
friends.  It is a noteworthy fact that when LeMars has a celebration of
any sort her best citizens always get out and hustle for its success,
one of the component parts of which is the "smearing" of liberal
quantities of printers' ink.  They make an especially attractive
offering of both paid and free amusements at their carnival and would be
pleased to see a large number present from this vicinity.
