a summary of those trying days we
find that there are but a comparatively

were living here at the time of the big
blizzard. We might also add that a
very large per cent of the population
of this city were not bom at that
time. There are a few of the old set
tlers of the county who can relate
thrilling stories of their experiences
and their fight for life while lost in the
storm.
Senator B. E. Sturdevant of this

Nucholls county has introduced a
similar bill in the house. All farmers
and those who wish to exterminate the
crows should get squarely behind these
legislators and help them pull the bill
through. Everyone interested should
write their sentiments to these men or
to their representatives in the leg
islature. The more letters that are
written along this line the better
chance they will have to get the
bounty.
