THE G0WTH OF NYSSA Within the past two years Nys sa has grown beyond belief to the inhabitants that haye noticed the many new families that have come in, the number of new buildings that have been erected. The cen sus man says that up to last July we had gained three hundred per cent ill the past ten years. Now it would be close to four hundred for the winter has seen many set tle within the limits of the city and a great many houses have been built. When the census was tak en ten years ago there was not even a town hetethat could be call ed a town for there was scarcely fifty inhabitants in the town prop er and today it comes close to the six hundred and fifty mark. The town covers a lot of ground and it lies very nicely. Many residences have been built within the past four months that has helped to give Nyssa a very creditable appear ance. Tlie new two story build ings that have been just aompleted and are in progress of construction make visitors wonder what there is to build up so pretty town. There is but one answer and that answer is the country that is behind it. Electiol n y V , I“ " M U W i l l * ^ y \ ________ i * SCHOOL CLOSES. $1.30 PER YEAR. THURSDAY.
