+. H. Allen, Mellette, South Dakota:
"All Vernon county people about here
are well and happy and enjoying the
splendid mild and sun-shiney conditions
that prevail MIR. and Mrs. Andrew
Newton spent Christmas with their son
Eugene, while Mrs. Newton's uncle,
John Van Dyke, so well know in the
vicinity Of Springville, provided music
for the occasion with his phonograph.
Earl Alien and wif4 spent The day with
j. M. Allen and family at Redfed;
Claud Baker and family at E. Fl. Allen 3
in Mellelte. Thus you will learn that
we badgers in this prairie country are
thoughtful of each other, and especially
at this blessed Christmas season.
Alley A. Peterson, Clifford, North
Dakota: ''The CENSOR is worth double
the price. We are unable to be pres
ent in person at the great home-com-
ing, but we are with the big family in
spirit, as my check enclosed win assure
you. 1t is pleasure to belong to the
largest and most thoughtful family in
all Badgerdom, although the children
are widely scattered.
Louis P. Juul: Great Uncle Samuel
we have; most generous to his creatures.
What privilege bestowed on we poor
foreigners who come to this country
homeless and most of us friendless, that
we are able to get piece of the pub
lie domain by merely locating upon and
cuitivating such possessions. Less than
eight years ago / came here from Nor
way, ignorant of the language and Gus
toms of this country, | set to work to
improve my condition in education and
otherwise, doing chores and attending
the Viroqua schools. Later | went to
North Dakota, settled upon a quarter
section of good prairie land that will be
worth thousand of dollars by the time
have served out my homestead rights
on the same. And, too, have my
best girl located upon the adjoining
quarter section, so that when we unite
our personal fortunes and lands there
will be a strong combination of hearts
and acres. The foreigner who fails to
appreciate the many privileges and
blessings of the United States ought to
be elected from the country and re-
turned to the conditions oil the old
world. / am located in the same county
with the Purdys, Cobbs, Herrons and
Burkhardts, although quite a distance
from most OF them. They are all
pleased with their possessions and say
they are content"
Chas. E. Chase. La Fargo: "Our
town has made material progress the
past year, and ! believe that business
men and citizens generally are very
content. Our mercantile trade has GER
tainly increased at rapid pace, and
have no reason TO doubt that others
are satisfied with their business. The
food of July damaged the country
round about and losses were heavy and
far-reaching in individual cases. We
have built ten blocks of fine ce-
ment walks on business and other
streets, installed a system OF water
works and sewerage that would do
credit 10 city of ten thousand popu-
lation. Whatever La Fargo and her |
citizens undertake is well executed, |
and they are proud to claim that their |
village is second only in population 10 |
Viroqua in Vernon county"
Matthias HoveIand, Sparta: 1--WE are |
well satisfied with our Monroe county |
farm and surroundings. We return |
once or twice year to keep green the |
old friendships in Jefferson section.
Mrs. f. w. Calkins. "Oar new Ben
nett store will place US in line for other /
needed improvements at Budd-c church, |
shop, creamery and other |
needfuls. Mr.. Benefits new building |
has the appearance Of castle, located |
on 80 prominent an eminenee as it is. "
S. A. Noble, Nevada. Missouri eve |
are having mild winter. So far only /
one snow storm 70 speak Of, AMI that |
has disappeared. We wish the CENSOR
family happy New Year, AMI many
Of them. We want to be remembered |
TO the great company that is now |
with you or are sending substantial
compliment.
