Norman County y-This is newly organ
lied county, having been formed in the fall
OF 1881 from the southern portion of Polk
county. The county seat is Ada. Assessed
valuatien-real estate, $937,777; personal
property, s534, 544.
Polk county lies on the Red river, north
of Clay. Red Lake river, the most import
ant branch Of the Red, flows across this
county, and affords opportunities for many
valuable water powers. There is an abund
ance of excellent wood on the river banks,
and on the east side of the county an i'm
mense belt of timber commences. The soil
is extremely fertile, and the best quality of
wheat is raised. The population, which in
1850 was ii, 453, is now at least 20, 600.
Crookston is the county seat, and Fisher and
Euclid are prominent towns. Assessed val.
uation-real estate, $2,414,544; personal
property, 81, 1854, ,064.
Marshall county, north of Polk, is similar
to the latter. being all prairie cut by many
small wooded streams. Its population since
1880 has increased from 995 to about 1000.
Warren and Stevens are in Marshall county.

Kittson county is located in the extreme
northwest corner of Minnesota. and is the
northerly limit of the Red River valley lands
in the United States. Tie population, which
in 1880 was but 914, is now certainly $500.
Kennedy, Hallock and st. Vincent are the
principal towns; Hallock is the county seat.
THE PRODUCTIONS
OF this wonderful soil are amazing both for
quantity and quality. The cereals especially
the small grains, grow with a luxuriance un-
known elsewhere in the world. With good
cultivation of the ground an average crop of
rs to 30 bushels per acre of No. 1 hard wheat
the finest grade in the world-can be
counted on year after year, and 35 bushels
arevery common, while extraordinary crops Of
40, As and even so bushels have been known
frequently. This. wheat brings ten cents
per bushel more than any other in the mar
ket, and makes the best and most nutritious
bread the world can produce. Illustrative of
the. quality of wheat raised here, we might
mention that of all the wheat received in
1882 at Duluth, 81 per cent graded No. 1
hard. Chicago, which receives its wheat
from Illinois and Iowa. less than per cent.
was No. 1, and none was No. hard. Other
crops produce proportiouately well, and as
soon as the country becomes a little older
will become more extensively raised.

The life of man is His own plan,
Mans part to learn-obey.
How kind He ia. who watches o'er,
And leave. US not to chance;
Though circums tances shape the man,
God shapes each circumstance.
How small tn event that can destroy
The greatest human plan;
How many changes come each day,
Not reckoned on by man.
Tho in some things. we have choice,
In many more, we've not,
And our own will. by choosin. i'll,
May mar happier lot.

And rule my every choice.

Oh, man. how little thou dost know,

And learning more, but serves to show

Fourth District

The contest in this Dis trict waxeth
warm, yet pleasantly we hope. Judge
Fowle and Gen Cox are both great ia
vorite among the people. Each recog-
uizes the right of the other to secure the
nomination if he can This is as it
should be. Both are well qualified to
fill this honorable position. The point
does not turn here. 1t is mainly the
claims OF Judge Fowle coupled with his
great superiority as canvasser, that is
urged.
Judge Fowle has been long and
faithful worker, and received compara-
lively nothing. Judge Cox has been
equally as faithful, but has received
much excellency of head and heart sell
dom fail TO draw to its possessor ad-
mirers. Ii is not an exception in this
case. The earnest appeals of Judge
Fowle so often and so successfully made
in behalf of the rights of his people. has
drawn around him a host of strong
friends who have long desired to see him
in public life, and In places where those
noble traits of head and heart could
shine with more brilliancy. These are
some of the causes why the name of
Fowle always awakens so much zeal
everywhere. Should the Fourth Dis
trict choose him as her leader. as she
most certainly will, such a rattling of
dry bOnhs has not been heard since 20,
as we will have. The effects of his can
vass will be felt in county, District.

The Southern Prize Turnip.

The Southern Prize Turnip is an entire
" new variety and the honor of its origi-
nation belongs to North Carolina.
From my knowledge of its qualities, |
am prepared to say, that they are so su-
title them to public recognition and the
the head of the list in all catalogues OF
turnip seed.
The Southern Prize is hybrid, and
was originated several years ago by hor-
ticulturist of this, Wake county. 1t was
hybrdlzed by the large Norfolk Globe
and Seven Top, salad turnip. The re-
suit is, turuip combining the best quail
tiles of the two, and which for size, flesh,
flavor, and hardness is without equal.
Another result of the cross is, that the
hybrid turnip is not affected by insects.
They do not injure it as they do other
kinds. sometimes destroying whole crops.
| Nor does it peth or become spongy and
lnsipid as turnips usually do, thus loos
ing their feeding and market value, but
keeps sound, sweet and Juicy.
As to production it is very prolific
| yielding large crops and as to size they
have measured 20 inches in circumfer-
ence. As farmer expresses it, They
are just large enough.
The qualities invest this turnip with q
high agricultural value as it can be culti-
waited more successfully and profitably
than other foreign kinds, and is far more
economic feed for stock.
The Southern Prize Turnip has only
to become known to become famous iu
the farming world, and beyond doubt, ii
will prove great boon to stock raiser;
and truckers. ]. H. ENNIS.

A Little Previous"

1t was at late hour one rainy night
recently that reporter stood in the
doorway of an express Office on Wash
ington Street talking to one of the
clerks. The conversation was suddenly
interrupted by the approach of we'll
dressed middle-aged gentleman, who,
after glancing at the sign over the door,
advanced towards the clerk, when
the following characteristic inverview
ensued:
''ls this an express Officer"
"Yes, sir"
"Do you run to W-P"

"Well, do you folks take boxes3"
"Yes, sir"

voice continued-to take body to the

will be more than s., SIR

got letter to-day from one of the first
citizens of W, in which he says he
is entitled to foot more of land for his
lot. But then, my wife has always said
that if she went first she wanted to be
buried with the old folks.''
''It's sad to lose ones relatives"
softly replied the sympathizing clerk.
That's So" said the other. Can
bring her here?"
''Not tonight, sir, for we don't take
anything after six o'clock. But if it
will he any accommodation one of our
teams will call at your residence early
in the morning and take the corpse TO
the depot. What is the address,
please?"
"Well, am much obliged to you.
I'll call again. She amt dead vet; the
doctor said it was doubtful if she lived

let you know, though, Good night"

like to be that mans wife"
''Have many like him?" the scribe
ventured to inquire.
81 hope not" replied the clerk.
And as the writer, who on account of
his interest in the conversation had
missed his car, wended his way to his
home, he could not help thinking that

arms, he saw the water rise above the
barn floor, and then toward the NOW as
he climbed higher, until at last it APP
peared to him as if he was atioat Oh q
pile of hay in the midst of river, so
angrily did the waves beat against the
crazy old barn, rocking it to and fro
until it seemed each moment as if it
was about to leave its foundations.
''If we had only staid in the house!
If we had only done as mother told us
to don' walled Jackey, as he clasped
Mabel tightly in his arms and rocked
himself to and fro; while the speckled
hen, from her perch on one of the
rafters, cackled and scolded much as
if he believed Jackey was the cause of
all the trouble.
The waters surged to and fro in the
building, causing the timbers to creak
and groan, until at length, with a sud-
den lunge, the shaky old building
tioated away, Jackey catching u
glimpse of the house as they sailed
along on the pile of hay. If he had
oteyed his mother, he and Mabel
would have been in comparative safety,
even though the river had risen so high,
III llC hliCW llltlb llONtoC NOulu uOJ DC
moved as easily as the barn had been.
Jackey was never certain how long
he sat on the hay-mow before he and
Mabel were rescued. 1t seemed as if
he had been there an entire day, and
that they had foated far down the river,
when he heard his fathers voice calling
first to him and then to Mabel. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that Jackev re-
piled, screaming at the full strength of
his lungs, and when he saw a skiif, in
which were two men, one of whom was
his father, sail in at the open door, he
lost no time in saying: I'm never do
so again, father, indeed | won't I'll
always do Just as you and mother tell
me to do, if you'll only take me home
now"
Mabel said nothing. She had been
too much frightened to talk with Jackey
even when they had been alone, and
she simply held out her hands to be
taken on board the boat.
The barn had not floated nearly as
far away as Jackey had imagined. 1t
had been caught by grove Just below
the house, and had remained there I'M
til the children had been rescued, which
was quite long enough to teach Jackey
such lesson as be will never forget.
The long hours of agony and terror
passed on the hay-mow when, as he
thought, he and Mabel were drifting to
certain death, were more than long
enough to teach him to obey his parents
whether he thought their commands
wise or not.-JaneS Otis. in Congrega-
tiOnGLiSt.
