took some detective work, with the
result that she located hubby and
daughter at. the depot and the lat

the purpose OF taking their departure
Toroup does not speak English flu-

The Sargent County Teller says that
much complaint arises In that county
over the destruction Of survey monn-
ments. The little mounds and stakes
Of the original survey of the county

the absence Of monuments considerable
trouble and expense will be entailed.
The Teller says:
Let every farmer and citizen of the
county take the trouble to see that the
corner monuments of his individual
holdings are in place and maintained.
Il will eliminate a great deal of in
convenience sometime and possibly
save you some expense and travail"
