The Bird Island Post, in a lengthy
editorial discussing the removal Of
the county seat of Renville Co. from
Beaver Falls to that point, has this
paragraphs;
Redwood Falls, located in an ad
joining county, reaching for wealth
that should not be hers, opposes Wig
orously the removal of the county
seat, her people in their sagacity see
ing plainly that its failure will result
in retarding the growth Of our bust
ness points, and enable her to con-
troll a large portion of our trade and
add to her prosperity, and that of
her county, at our expense.
This is news indeed. What kind
of an hallucination are you laboring
under brother Moran? Let us as
sure you the citizens of Redwood
Falls don't care two straws about
where your county seat is located.
They are not in the habit of inter
fering in the affairs of their neigh
bors. There is not any foundation
whatever for the statement of the
Post. While our business men are
always glad to trade with the peo-
pie of Renville Co. and try to give
them their moneys worth when they
deal with them, they have taken no
sides on this question and we don't be.
lieve there is one man in ten here re.
members that the Legislature passed
an act relative to this matter. Will
the Post present this true state Of
facts to its readers.

y very important decision Of the
supreme court of Minnesota was re-
ndered y few days ago. 1t is III sub
stance that, when the. amount Of a
tax judgement is only expressed IN
numerals, without indicating what
they represent, and with no reference
in and of the omission it is void for
uncertainty; and that descriptions in
delinquent tax list must be spelled
out in full instead of being abbrevi-
ated. 1t is logical conclusion that
the sales of all property under such
defective descriptions are void-a

purchased it, at once inquire if all
