of THE REPORTER AND FARMER.
In looking over its past history we
think we can safely say it has done
all for this section the most expec-
tant could require. From its first
establishment it has been the aim of
the publishers to give purely and
strictly a local paper-a reflex of the
county and town happening and the
doings of u peple-to support and
help build up every interest which
would add to the growth, develope-
ment or prosperity of the community
The many gratifying compliments
received satisfy US that the efforts,
!. many respects have been C
full.
In the future, as in the past, it
will be our endeavor to publish such
a paper as will be a welcome visitor
in every home, and to this end we
shall lend every energy to aid the
material growth and prosperity of
Webster and Day county to the best
of our ability, setting forth the ad,
vantages they possess over the rest
of the world. Always, in the future.
as in the past, The REPORTER AMI
FARMER will be found in the front
ranks, booming anything for the
advancement or well being of this
common wealth.
Dear reader, you can help u:
materially to make the paper more
interesting by sending us items o.
news from your section-can aid il
making the present volume l~iveliel
and better than ever before. VIII
you do itp We wish to thank on,
patrons for their support and en-
couragement, and solicit a continu
ance of the same.

A late bulletin of the census de-
partment show that town lots bear
sae bulk of the mortgage indebted
ness which a~gitators never weary of
saying is borne exclusively by the
farmers. The total amount of
mortgage Indebtedness on June l.,
1890, was Sc, 0l9, 679, 9S5, represent
ing 4,777.69 mortgages. OF this
amount 50, $40, 531, 554 was on lots
and $4,000, las, 43l on acres. Dur
ing the decade the Indebtedness on
lots increased in amount 216.S 80 per
cent and on acres TO-. 90 per cent.
while the increase in acreage over
ed by mortgage was $3.50 per cent
and in lots 1925 per cent. In
thirty states the debt on acres was
12.67 per cent Of the value of the
land. These figures show the
mortgage Indebtedness of the far
mers to be one third of the amount
claimed by the agitators. -Aber-

The characters of the Thousand

the same cups; they smoke the SANG
pipes. they wear generally the same
dress. they play the same primitive in
Strumcnts that whisper the same
strange and plaintive tones. The fu-
neral professions wend their way along

tivals or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
