Man and Wife Prove
Separate Homesteads

For the first time probably in
the history of 4. the U. S. Land
Office a husband and wife proved
up on separate homesteads on
the same day when Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Johnson of Watford, N.
Dak., made final proof, the two
together applying for patent on
44O acres of good North Dakota
land.
Not until the law was amend
ed in April, 1914, was it possi-
bic for a husband and wife to
prove up on separate homesteads.
That amendment provided that
where homestead claimants mar
ried, they could choose which
Of the two homesteads t h e V
should reside on, and upon show
ing sufficient residence and cul-
tivation of both claims were en-
titled to apply for patent on
both.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson were
married last December, each
having at that time resided more
than two years on neighboring
homesteads. Since that time
they have been living on Mr..
Johnson's claim and have been
cultivating both pieces of land.

during 19o6-7-S-9, Leesburg owned

machinery for all enterprises in the
city.
The last census gave Leesburg a
population of 705; it is now esti-
mated that there are between 1000
and 1900 people here.
That Leesburg is rapidly growing
in population and from a business
standpoint is further proved by the
scarcity Of business houses and resi-
dences in the city, and tie past two
years has shown wonderful grow
til; for instance there has been built
in that length Of time, six handsome
new brick two story buildings, with
offices, all now being occupied as
stores and for offices by professional
men, and there could be rented
other store buildings almost inn

Leesburg, until the yea 1873,
was known as "Wooten's Station !,
situated on the Southwestern Rail-
road, now Central Of Ga Railway
Company, 10 miles north Of Albany
and % miles south Of Americus, Ak
that time there were only three resi-
dences in the town, one owned by
Mr.. G. NJ. Galloway, one on the
old Snead" place, a section house
and depot station. The now greater
Leesburg all being in thewilderness.
The removal OF the court house
from Stsrksville in 1878, marked
the beginning of the building up Of
Leesburg, the county officials and
OTHER citizens moving to Leesburg.
The first house to be built after
the town was changed from Woo
tens Station to lleesburg, was a 'og-
cabin residence, built and occupied
by Mr.. l. P. Tison, who at that
time was the Sheriff Of the county.
Mr.. G.. NJ. Stokes, who formerly
merchandised in Starkesville, sold
out his interests there, and moved
to Wooten's Station in 1866, and
was therefore the first merchant
when the station was changed to
Leesburg. His place Of business
was where the depot is now, and the
wooden frame building is still in
existence, now being used as a grist
mill and storage room in the rear Of
the new Galloway building, on
Broad street.
