Young Lady Returns From Extended Visit in Montana.

Miss Eva Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Moore, and for some time a deputy in the office of County Clerk ,Perkins, arrived home Wednesday evening froitf a visit of •five * months in Montana, visiting the family of Sam Pullins, 14 miles of Townsend. The sojourn there proved very enjoyable and also beneficial to her health. Mr. Pullins is the clerk of the school district and he selected Miss Eva to take the school census in his district of Broadwater county, and she traveled over the county on horseback and this also proved a very pleasant duty. Townsend is a town of about 1,200 people, has five saloons and the accompanying frontier roughness, but there are also a number of excellent people there and a number of churches. The country roundahoht is f#st developing. Jt is largely irrigated farming there, although there Is considerable dry land farming also, and the latter was quite successful this year. Sam Pullins has 400 acres of land there and also a farm in North Dakota. He has not engaged in stock raising very extensively but experts to buy a number of sheep this year. Mr. and Mrs. Pullins are -both enjoying quite good health, having recovered from their operations in good shape. They have six children ranging in age from 13 months to 9 years. Mrs. Pullins' sister, formerly Miss Marybell Crosscup, is married to a man named Olpratead and lives in Townsend. Miss EVa did not register in the last, big land drawing

out there, although that had been her intention. In some manner she was confuesd In the date, thinking the registration period started Sept. 23rd instead of closed on that date. Miss Moore has been importuned to accept office position* since her return but has not yst accepted a position and does not expect to until she enjoys a rest at homt. ’
