Langdon may not be the richest
town of its size in the United States,
and Cavalier county may not have
more wealth than any other one county
on the face of the earth, but when it
comes to a showing of the aggregate
deposits of Cavalier county's twenty
four banks we claim to be able to
make a showing of which every resi-
dent of the county may feel proud.
Cavalier county's twenty-four banks in
their call statements under date of
November 10th showed a total of de-
posits amounting to So, 400, 3Ol. SO.

of 1910 gives the county popoulation
of Is, $50. What the amount is per
capita we will leave the reader to fig

will show up better than many of the
older and bigger counties of the state.

childhood home of the bride was in
the eastern part of this county she
has grown up in the home circle of
her aunt, Mrs. Mary Porter, the death

she was less than a year old. Their
return to Calvin after being married

them and it was not until they took
the train two days later from Calvin
for the Twin Cities and points in Min

got an inkling of the happy event
