Pefore iucor- tporatiqn can be had it must be yshqvfn .hat the territory which iceek& to . be incorporated liar &iot-tessthan 150 bona tide esi Irlents. A careful canvas has ibeeu made of the territory to be 'included in the town 01 Madras, land there are fully that number of residents, so thei;e seems to; .be no reason to fear that the pe- tition to incorporate will not re-'ceiv.e- favorable consideration. 1 The petition will be advertised three weeks as required and will then be presented to the I county court at ?riueville at the November term of the court. w-r-: ( Tt n rr- D1Jne itock.
