residents, indeed such growth has not
been known since the first two years of
the towns existence.
M. b. Cox, late Of the Harlan Ameri.
can, has launched The Bye at Missouri
Valley. 1t Is neat mechanically, but
monotonous with the burden Of the
union labor agitations. The first issue
also contains a portrait Of Sovereign
and his letter Of acceptance, wherein
he says, by the way, that he never
sought Office, when in fact he never
honestly and conscientiously sought
anything else. Means to sustain life
has been an incidental ayocation.
