met with the great setback Of 1888,
many people have been driven from
cities and large centers Of EN-

land Morrison county has received
hundreds OF new settlers Ia the last
two years. who have wisely re-
ksOrted to agriculture az the surest
way to reach comfort and dndepeDd-
lence, and moderate wealth. The
county still contains h undreds oil
tsarts of farming land which can be
obtained cheap, and are possessed 81
Esall the elements which make them
Favorable locations for Industrious
Ifarmers. 1t will aid the county and
Lefty in every way to increase the
number of cultivated fars,s in this
district, and there can tie 40 time In
which it will be easier t<s induce
settlers to come here.
Anything that will fully and fairly
setforth our advantages t" pros
pective settlers will accomplish good
Tor the county, and the cheapest end
most effective way to do it is through
u carefully prepared edition of local
newspaper.
Therefore, the Transcript office
will, in q few weeks. make one issue
of the Weekly Transcript especially
adapted to advertising the advan-
tages of Morrison county. This is-
sue will be on slightly different lines
from any preceding publication
from this Office. It will be published
with slight expense to the cOmmu-
nifty, although under the proposed
plan OF distribution of the papers our
business men will generally find it
profitable to use it as medium for
reaching the buyers uf the county.
Although heretofore special edi-
tions of the Transcript have excelled

best tn this time make them u lead

The edition will not be SO much to

it is hoped the project will receive
