Assocunost REGISTRATION Saturday, October 25 at noon closes the privilege of every American to register for the elec tion to be held on November 4th. Registration is your means i>[ stating in secret ballot, your choice of the type of official you wish to serve you in Federal, State and County office. A privi lege that you should cherish. Many of us, have served our na tion in time of stress, now serve your nation and state in times of political stress; your vote will count in the total cast to show: the world that Americans of all I classes, creeds, colors and choic: of opinion can stand together. In the Communist part of tht world, you either vote— or else— the implication is ominous, ther: I they have only one slate of hand picked candidates, that the popu lance have had no choice in select ing. Here in our great nation, we have the choice of our public of ficials, decided in a democratic manner in the primary elections. Remember, our boys are fight ing and dying for the privilege of free thought and action, the least you can do is register for the same privilege.

OLSON, Superintendent STATS HISTOBICAL SOCIETY Nebraska Counties (9) Brown County, comprising 1,218 square miles in the*north central section of the state, was one of the counties organized during the rush of settlement in the early 1880’s. Originally, along with a dozen other present-day counties, it was a part of Sioux County. With the organization of Holt County in 1876, the area later known as Brown County was at tached to Holt. | Earliest settlers in tne region I were ranchers who came in dur |ing the 1870’s, attracted by the rich, abundant prairie grasses. Fort Niobrara, established April 22, 1880, became an important nucleus of white activity as well as providing protection for the settlers. The winter of 1880-81 was a severe one, and many of the regions’ ranchers were forced to abandon their holdings. This, in effect, opened the area for /set tlement once again, and settlers began to locate in the region in ever increasing numbers. Many of the first of this group of set tlers went out on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley rail road to its terminus at Oakdale, continuing the journey by wagon, rhe FE & MV was extended to Meligh in 1880. The Sioux City ind Pacific Railroad, building vest across northern Nebraska, ■cached Long Pine in 1881, greatly acilitating the settlement of the trea that was to become Brown bounty. The next year the road was completed across the county. By the erW of 1882, population jf the area had increased to the point where it seemed advisable to organize a new county.

At the next session of the legislature, Senator Moses P. Kin kaid of O’Neill introduced tl\e necessary bill. The petition has suggested no name. There were live legislators named Brown, so Brown County it became. Gover nor Dawes approved the bill, Feb. 19, 1883. Ainsworth, where the first building — a log store on the freighter’s trail—had been erected in 1880, became the county seat, although at the time it was not yet an incorporated village. The town was named in honor of J E. Ainsworth of Missouri Valley, Iowa, who had charge of con struction of the railroad which reached the town, June 11, 1882. The 1880’s were good years in Nebraska, and the settlers of Brown County raised excellent crops. In 1884 and 1888 the Chi cago Board of Trade awarded prizes to cars of wheat received from Ainsworth. The early 1890’s brought drouth and depression to Brown County, as they did the rest of Nebraska, and the county’s population fell from 4,359 in 1890 to 3,470 in 1900. The Kinkaid Act and returning prosperity brought a heavy influx of settlers during the first years of the 20th century, and by 1910 Brown County’s population had jumped to 6,083. It reached a peak of 6,749 in 1920. The returns for 1950 show 5,157. 1122 N ST. 2-2UI Gilmour-Danielson Drug Co.
