A TEXT BOOK OF THE COUNTY.

q IEAI BULK Ut he COUNTY.
wish to make the following state
ment as my candid opinion Of the
history of Kandiyohi county: About
year ago bought a copy Of the
History, because several of my pe0-
pie spoke highly of the merit of the
book. Now | have made studyeo
my county using the History as a
text book and find it clear on all i'm
portant points. The short bioq-
raphies and sketches of noted men
and events are surely valuable to all
who are interested in the county. A
few hours study in the History gives
better results than several days
travel through the county. Have you
got a copy7 Ii not, get one now, the
price is certainly reasonable. "

The Kandiyohi County History

reading and references of the first
settlers of this county, than was ex-

by me. At present low price, ev-
