A OF DAKOTA.

AT the desire of the people Of Da}lo-
TIA living south of the 46th parallel,
their representatives in Constitutional
Convention, assembled at Sioux Falls,
Dakota, have directed that a census Of
the people now living in said portion
of the Territory, and being actual and
bona-tide residents therein, be taken at
the earliest possible time.
Having been appointed under the or
dinance chief census enumeration, with
power to appoint county enumerators;
in selecting my assistants I have en-
deayorea to choose gentlemen whose
patriotism, and county as well as state
pride would lead them to make the ne
cessary eXertion and devote the neces-
Sary eXertion aud devote the necessary
time and expense to secure this impor-
tant end.
1t will be a matter of great value to
every county to have such census as
complete as possible SO as to make a
truthful showing Of its population.
TO Dakota at large the work will be OF
invaluable Importance, both i'll second
ing the efforts of its people for State
hood and as an advertisement to the
world Of it growth and prosperity.
The taking of a census is desirable
for every public reason and all whoc can
assist will doubtless feel a satisfaction
in the result. IL all cooperate it will
render it more satisfactory to all. 1t
is, therefore, earnestly requested that
every officer call to his ADVICE and aid
such others as he may need to give the
exact facts; it is thought that this emu
meration mpy be completed by the first
day Of December. Very truly,
e. N. KEITH,
state CprcuS NnunNnrator
