Last week we stated that Jens
Jepson intended to rent a farm and
remain in this locality. La this we
were partly mistaken. He will ac.
company Theo. &. Larson to Canada
about Dec. lst and if he finds some
thing to his liking will purchare a
farm. If not, be will return to re-
main permanently. Mr.. Larson is
the owner of ID section of land 10
in the North country and will remain
there a few weeks for the purpose
of erecting buildings and then come
back to spend the winter and put
in a crop in the spring. He will
then again go to Canada and break
up as much prairie as he can during
the balance of the spring. Aft-s
harvesting his crop here Mr.. Larson
will move his family to the new
home. As Mrs. Larson aud Mrs.
Jepson are sisters, it is quite likely
that Mr.. Jepson will conclude to
buy a farm in the same locality with
the Larson family.
