suburban regions to select grounds for the
encampment. which was found no easy
task, as quite 4 plateau is requisite for the

out, probably 10 the west.
Since Capt Chance of the fort near Bis
marck drew the $50. 600 prize i'm the LOuiSi-
ana lottery last year it is probable that
nearly as much has been sent to New Or
leans from that region. Those who have

In review of the growth of Aberdeen
and Brown county the Republican saws that
its wholesale trade the past year was $780,
600. The county has more miles of rail
than any other except Cass and Sphinx, has
ten excellent newspapers and viii have

The policy indicated by the LarimOre
