s The Little Falls Transcript comes forward;
and attempts to prove that the inoseaseo at pops
3ulation has been RreAte ID Morrison than in
Todd. If any couHt can show higher per-
3centage than Todd Eve shall rejoice in the
prosperityaof Minnesota, and not feel Jealous
90 the Transcript seems to-. II will besWell
for the Transcript to remember that. the only
habitable; portion of Morrison county was
sliced of from Todd and were It not for that
Morrison would be little more than 3 mere
sand hill From the Todd County Argus.
e has been generally supposed that
when q writer undertakes to handle q
subject in public print, he ought to
know at least ia little about the subject
under conside but the editor Of the
Argus has adopted q different custom.
He entirely ignores facts, and proceeds
on the theory that cauiring information
is who'll nnnec essaly and superfuoius,
and that to use what little Information he
migh have accidentally acquired would
be too great { breach Of his established
custom to be- considered for moment.
That part of 4 Morrison county which
the Argus designates as the only habita-
BILE portion, sliced off from T odd, consti.
tutes nearly half Of the territory Of Nor
rison county. The population Of that
part Of the county is 2,641, while the pop.
ulation Of the smere sand hin', is3 {, 236.
The cultivated area of the abitable
portion, the present season is I, 600 acres,
and that Of the mere sand hill',,t is 14,0 900
acres: The western half of = Morrison
county is all composed Of very excellent
land, and is destined to become once Of
wealthiest districts in tie State, but. the
fact that it is nearly entirely covered. with
timber. has prevented such. extensive farm
ing assis carried on in the eastern part Of
the, county. AS tothe eastern half Of the
county being mere sand Hill, we viii
state that the Rich Prairie district covers
an area of about Is 900 acres, on nearly
the whole Of which the black loan is
two or three. feet:1in. depth, and is under
laid with clay no sand. We will ven
ture the opinion that there is scarcely an
editor in the State, besides the Argus
man, who has not heard Of: the fertility
and productive capacity Of. the soil of
Rich Prairie, Morrison county. Todd
county is very fine county, and is enjoy.
ing large increase Of population and
material prosperity, but the Argus man
lays his ears back and kicks up in his
stall because we: wouldn't admit that
Todd had increased more rapidly than
Morrison, when we had official statistics
that proved the contrary. Jealous! Oh,
bless your soul, we are not jealous. We
never saw anything in the Argus that
could make anybody jealous. >" il, s~''

Much complaint is made about the
Rice creek bridge, six miles east of this
village, which is said to be in an impass-
able condition, or SO near impossible that
a team cannot cross without danger of
having their legs broken This should
be attended to at once. Farmers will be-
gin hauling wheat in few days and if
this bridge is not repaired, Little Falls
will lose more business in short time
than a new bridge would cost. Some
body is liable to drive there in the night,
not knowing the condition of the bridge,
and meet with terrible accident. We
have no knowledge Of the reason that the
bridge is left in such q condition. Great
complaint is also made about the cross
ing at the outlet of Fish Lake. Work
ought to be commenced on these bridges
at once, and continued day and night un-
til thew are in good order. &=:s. T. -. 5 =

On Wednesday morning OF this week.
Mrs. Clark Stiles and child, of Orlando,
were driving across the bridge over the
mill pond Of Upper Town, and had ar
rived at the middle where the railing had
been negligently left of, when the horse
commenced to back, and in spite of her
efforts to make it proceed forward,
backed off from the bridge into the pond.
The catastrophy was witnessed by several
men around the, blacksmith shop and
mill and John Jameson, Ned Bennett
and several others courageously jumped

AItIl0 ELK correspondence.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Little Elk, August 9, 1880. :
Nothing worthy of notice has trans
pired in this place for the past two weeks.
l hear occasionally from the surrounding
country of glorious prospects of an
abundant harvest, small grain especially.
The farmers, generally speaking, thought
the corn crop would be light, but the
past two weeks of dry warm weather has
brought the corn crop right forward, so
they are joyous over the prospect of
good crop ofthat product. What beau
tiful harvest we are having. Those who
do not get their grain in good shape this
harvest are all to blame, for the good
Lord has done His share towards good
harvest. If there is any one who does
not get his grain secured it is his own
fault, for the want of sufficient help, or
through some Encouragement in some
way on the part of the farmers.
Hancock and English talk we'll in their
Letters ofacceptance of their nomination,
but l fear if they should be elected that
there is some of President Buchanan's
blood in their veins. They will let the
South have q strong hold again, which
would surely bring on another civil war.
HGen. Hancock and Mr.. English gain
the election by a fair vote of the people, l
am satisfied. 1t will not make any diff
ference to me which party gains the
election. There is one thing do be-
leve, and that is that we will not get a
fair and just vote in the southern States.
They never have let the negroes vote as
they wished to nor they never will as
long as they can help themselves. But
the time will come when the darkies can
vote without restraint. The Hancock
and English boom is more raging now
than it will be in two months from now.
Mr.. English speaking of the peoples
money, I think there is as much money
in the o. s. treasury now as there was
when the Democrats went out of power
and the public debt IS good deal less, if
can read correctly. think Mr.. Eng
fsh is talking big for a small gun. Gen.
Hancock's letter is good. / think it
much better than Mr.. English's is. y
