HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION LAW.

We are proud of the Homestead Law of Minnesota. The State says to its
citizen: you may be unfortunate, even culpably improvident, nevertheless
you and your family shall not be left homeless or without means to
enable you to retrieve past misfortunes or faults.

The law reads--

     "That a homestead consisting of any quantity of land not exceeding
     eighty acres, and the dwelling house thereon and its appurtenances,
     to be selected by the owner thereof, and not included in any
     incorporated town, city or village, or instead thereof, at the
     option of the owner, a quantity of land not exceeding in amount one
     lot, being within an incorporated town, city or village, and the
     dwelling house thereon and its appurtenances, owned and occupied by
     any resident of this State, shall not be subject to attachment,
     levy, or sale, upon any execution or any other process issuing out
     of any court within this State. This section shall be deemed and
     construed to exempt such homestead in the manner aforesaid during
     the time it shall be occupied by the widow or minor child or
     children of any deceased person who was, when living, entitled to
     the benefits of this act."

Thus the State, in its bountiful protection, says to its citizen, "You
may be unfortunate, even blamably improvident, nevertheless the State
shall not allow you and yours to be thrown paupers on the world. Your
homestead is still left to you, a competency at least."

There are also reserved for the settler, free from all law processes,
all his household furniture up to the value of $300, 3 horses, or in
lieu 1 horse and yoke

 continent.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION_LAW.

We are proud of the Homestead_Law of Minnesota. The_State_says to its
citizen: you may be_unfortunate, even culpably improvident, nevertheless
you and_your family shall not be_left_homeless_or without means to
enable you_to retrieve past misfortunes or faults.

The_law reads--

 _   "That a homestead consisting_of_any quantity of land not exceeding
__   eighty acres, and_the_dwelling_house thereon and its appurtenances,
_    to be_selected by the owner thereof, and not included in_any
  _  incorporated town, city_or_village,_or instead thereof, at the
     option_of the_owner, a quantity_of land not exceeding in amount one
   _ lot, being within an incorporated town,_city or village, and the
     dwelling house_thereon and its appurtenances, owned and occupied by
_    any resident of_this State, shall not_be_subject to attachment,
    _levy,_or_sale,_upon any execution_or any other_process issuing out

     the_time it shall be occupied_by_the widow or_minor child or

   __the benefits_of this act."

Thus the_State, in_its bountiful_protection, says to_its citizen,_"You

shall not allow_you_and yours to be thrown paupers on the world._Your
homestead_is_still_left to you,_a competency at_least."

There are also_reserved for the_settler,_free from all law processes,
all his_household furniture up_to the value of_$300, 3 horses, or in
