(Emmons Co. Advocate)
The assessors have finished taking
the census of the county and their
reports show that the county has
gained wonderfully in population in
the last five years. In 1900 the coun-
ty had a population of 4,349 and the
returns just completed show that the
population up to the first of April was
6,556. The population is considerable
more than that now as there have
been a great many move in since the
first of April, yet it is a gain of nearly
33 1-3 per cent. The next five years
will find this one of the most thickly
populated counties in North Dakota
The order has been placed with an
eastern firm for new fixtures for the
postoff1ce of this town (Linton) and
they are said to be the latest and most
up|to-date kind, with the combination
lock boxes, etc. It is an improve
ment much needed in the office here
and will be much welcomed by the
patrons. The old fixtures will be
taken to Brophyton to be used in the
Office there-when they get it.
The mosquito is bird found in
every civilized and uncivilized coun.
try we were ever in. But it has it's
peculiarities. We can't understand
why he will pass a nice pair of pink
shoulders, hidden only by a peekaboo
waist to settle on our rough bearded
cheeks.
(Glenullin News.)
That Glenullin is a thriving and pro-
gressive village, can easily be seen
from the extensive amount of building
that is being done this summer. At
no time during the history of the
town, has it made such great strides
toward advancement as at the pres
ent time. If the present work of i'm
provement continues, it will be but a
matter of few years, when Glenullin
will be classed as a city.
The farmers around Glenullin and
vicinity, are looking forward to this
years crop, as being the best ever
harvested in this section. Never be-
fore has the grain looked as promising
as at the present time, and if the
present good weather continues, a
bumper crop is certainty.
(Braddock News)
Almost every day people arrive in
Braddock looking for a piece of gov
eminent land to file on. The free
land around Braddock is about all
taken up especially that suitable for
farming purposes, but occasionally
one will run across a piece suitable
for ranching purposes. The closing
up of the lands in Burleigh and Kidder
counties for irrigation purposes has
| stopped number of families from
settling there. =.
The appointment of s. E.. Kurtz OF
Hazelton and F. A. Sherwood of Dale
commissioners for the second and fifth
districts, meets with the approval OF
the people in these districts.
The growing crops in this vicinity
at the present time are looking better
| than ever before. They have had
plenty of moisture and nothing has
occurred to cause damage to the crops
