Editor Argus:
Enclosed find s. for THE ARGUS.
Can't very well do without it, as il
keeps us posted on The news of our
old home county and community Of
near Bruceton. We have now been
living in North Dakota twenty two
years and have seen many changes
in that time. Very many dear friends
have passed TO that home beyond
the river from whence none ever
return.
We had the pleasure OF visiting
our old home five years ago, and
while we saw many changes, it is
not to be compared to the great
northwest, where towns, good sized
ones, too, spring up in few months.
The older towns are growing very
fast, toe. Our little city of Bis
marck has had a very substantial
growth the past year-many resi-.
dences as well as quite a number Of
substantial business houses.
One OF the most important feat.
ures in North Dakota is the interest
taken in education. A good and
well equipped building is one of the
first considerations OF a new town.
The children, graded into classes;
suitable teachers employed to teach
them. The climb up step by step
to top grade. When they are gradu.
ated they enter some state institu.
ton or college ia the cast to learn
profession.
We have . few West Virginia peo-
pie here. Our present clerk Of the
