ing witli the county superintendent, the
lioard is satisfied that the above state

said Hunter having paid to the county

ed tliat the clerk draw an order in favor
of 1L C. Hunter, on the county treasur
er for tlie above amount, treasurer to
charge it to school district No. 14.

debate at Pine Tup last Saturday night
Special Offer.
For the next three months we expect
to publish a great number of letters
written by parties here relative to the
country and its many advantages for
successful farming and stock raising,
and if you are interested in having your
friends back east know just how good
a country this is, subscribe for the Jour
nal and have it sent to them. For this
purpose we propose to donate lialf and
will send the paper at half price to non
residents for the next three months.
Remember; only one dollar will send the
Journal to your friend for a year; fifty
cents for six months and twenty-five
cents for three months. Do this and
assist in giving Sioux county a genuine
boom.
Will Yon do It?
We want a hundred letters, testimo
nials, from parties living in this county,
telling how well they are pleased with
the country and why. All can say a lit
tle if they only try. Write a letter for
the Journal and at the same time 'send
us the names of friends in the east and
south whom you think might be persua
ded to migrate to this country of free
homes and healthy climate: and we will
send them a copy of the paper free. Now
isn't this fair? We want to send out sev
eral quires each week of these sample
copies, so send us names anyone who
wish and we will send them a copy of
the paper. Be careful to write tlie
names and address plainly.
Write and tell your reasons for think
ing that this is a better country than
where you came from and why you ad
vise friends to come here. Tell of the
crops you have raised or seen raised, of
the climate, the people, how healthy it
is, how cheap you can live, the cheap
ness of lumber, wood, hay, vegetables,
and all about it. If you don't write
send us a few names and if we have the
papers to spare will send them copies
containing letters of your friends and
neighbors.
