gone back home. He says it is too cold
here, and some of the people do not
show fair treatment to new Americans.

There was man in our town who

Mr.. Fred Herngrist, formerly of this
place, and Miss Minnie Anderson, for

The heavy wind Tuesday evening
scalped few chimneys around town,
and gave a number of our business
men employment cleaning their win
dows, the wind having completely be-
smeared them with mud. For about
forty-five minutes the gale was terrific,
and it is great wonder that much
| damage was not done.
Take your own census before the CEN
sus taker comes around. Do it this
spring. Set down the number of acres
in each crop, quantity grown and its
value. Put down also numbers of live
stock, value of products from dairy,
poultry. etc. Let it be in black and
white when the census agent appears
and then you won't have to guess and
the 1900 census won't be guess work.

Italy had three times as many, and so
had Great Britain. Even Spain had
double our number of people, and little
Portugal was almost our rival in num-

any European nation except Russia

many people as live in all Great Britain
