Austin, a large healthy man, is feared to be chronically ill by many doctors who have checked his pulse, tongue, heart, lungs, and back.

The Austin and Lake City race for president of the state fair association pits John J. Furlong against J. M. Underwood. The board opposes Underwood, believing Furlong to be the logical choice and the incoming president, while Underwood kept his candidacy secret from fellow board members.
The piece lauds Vice President Furlong as acting president of the association and a strong head for the fair. It notes his farming success, long service to the Mower county fair, and role as an exhibitor and officer at the state fair. It also mentions Nurseryman Ander and plans for a 36 page souvenir edition titled Austin and Mower County. The souvenir, illustrated with city and farm views, sells for 25 cents next week at local drugstores.
