The Vesta Censor understands
that Nels Larson has made a deal

fellow has the right kind of farm.
Olivia Times: H. B. Bacon came
up from St. Paul Friday evening to
move his family and household eff
fects. The family leaves today for
the city and will reside in St. Anth-

should get one it would cost them
all it was worth to become it's real
owner. We will admit that there
are a few exceptions but they are
one in a thousand.

Der of our citizens attended the
King Korn Karniyal at Lambertor
