The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1906-08-16
ToLLEY, NORTH DAKOTA
New Town East of Kenmare on
the "Wheat Line" of the 500
a Big, Well Built Baby.

For yearling baby Tolley is certain
~ hummer with her fine graded
streets, wide cement sidewalks and
large number of substantially built bust
ness and dwelling houses quite a num-
Der of which are of brick and more
agoing up. The citizens Of this little
town show in their deeds that they have
implicit faith in the future of Tolley and
they have built to stay.
This is as it should be and will have
tendency to inspire the newcomer, who
is looking for location, with right kind
of confidence.
On the fourth of August last Tolley
voted to incorporate as a village and the
proposition carried practically unani-
mously. Steps will be taken immedi-
ately to organize special school dis
trict and provide for new school house
and it goes without saying that it will
be a good one.
The Independent was glad to get &C
quainted with the business men of Toll
Icy and we hope that the acquaintance
will prove mutually agreeable. Our
time, however, was limited and it will be
only few which we shall have the
pleasure of mentioning.
