The holiday number of the Nelson
county Herald is a g.m of beauty in
its illustrations and geographically,
while every page is replete with valu-
able matter pertaining to the county
and to its people, and to their business.
The principal firms of the county and
their buildings are beautifully illustra-
ted, portraits of its public men and
county officials are given, and Lakota,
its county capital, withits churches, it's
school building. its court house, its
railway station and many of its resi-
dences adorn it's pages. The enter
prise of the publisher ought to meet a
generous response from all the people
OF Nelson county.
