The city is composed of substanual buildings, a great number of which are brick. Business all neat and handsome, 2nd business buildings are appeared to be good judging from the way the merchants were tying up and selling goods. Appleton City has what few other towns in all the west of its popula- tion has, and that is a public library. The town being named after D.
