'True Press and Dakotaian gives some
interesting figures regarding the reve

Dakota. The following extract is taken
Atom Its article on the subject: “ The
Adtsolklation of the Dakota and Nebras
ka revenue districts doubtless occurred
*' .only because Dakota is a Territory and
baa no voice at the seat of general gov
ernment in belialf of its own rights and
privileges. This conclusion is inevita
ble when one glances over the figures.
•The report of the commissioner of in

This work of Adam's garden has thus
far been pretty generally ignored by
the quill-driving fraternity; and the
native modestyfof our peaceful citizens
get in her work to keep us quiet aud re
tired. But tlie activity of your corre
spondents in other localities through
out the county, combined with a little
love for notoriety, has placed our mod
isty in the background, and brought to
the light our handsome physiognomy
for tlie admiring guze of the world in
general, and Kingsbury county in par
ticular.
Our people are very much like the
rest of mankind. They plow, sow, har
vest and stack, and perform all other
duties that American citizens may of
right do.
The activities of the mind are full)
equal to those of the body, and one
source of mental anxiety at present is
the filling of the vacancy in the county
board the present fall. The legal right
of the west part of the county to pro
duce the uiau is not questioned. But
we feel a good degree of interest in the
choice to be nuiL, and cin hardly keen
from asking that great deliberation be
used In making a selection. We al
most feel to regret that a mun is to be
chosen to pass upon our interests and
we not permitted to be heard in the
selection. We feel that we have the
right to ask that tlie broadest man be
brought forward—we mean intellect
ually and morally, we don't care a tig
•bout his physical proportions.
But as ws write auotber train of
thought comes for a passing notice,

proud.of. We are proudjand justly so.
