- ~5 . thnfluinm 2 ; FRIEND. Nanger Pays the Place a Friend ly Visit. A Short Sketch of the Growth of the Place, With the Prospect of its Future Advancement, Vairw, Sept. 2L.—In 1870 Mr, Ohas. Friend settled on the then un- cultivated prairie and built his house and made his home where this little] city now stands, HISTORY. In 1874 he caused a town site to be} platted and surveyed and at once commenced the business of making a town. As settlers came in, each one Dbocams an assistant in the great work of making wild land worth a thovsand] times ita original cost, and in a very| few years Friendville, as it was then oalled, bacamo known as a live, onter- prising station town. The first storo waa started in May, 1871, by Chas. Friend, and then in the order in| which their names are given: KEd.§ Whitcomb, Edwin Slagg, Robt. Con- nell, John France, Proudfit Bros., and Fred Sanderson started stores. ' A CONTRAST. and at that time there was, I think,| only, about one-half the houses in town that there are at the presen time. Sixyears ago Ifirst stopped here, 8 more by accident than anything else,) and at that timo there ¥as nothing hero of promise excepting, perhaps, two or throe live men and o fow good- looking ladies, There was not an ar- tificial or any other kind of a grove to| dot the landscape. There was not a house outside of town,df I remembe: rightly, that was not built of sods.| Thero was not a wind-mill in sight,| and there was wonderfully littlo to be] soen besides that same monotonous,) evorlasting waving sea of prairie hay. At present things are not what they| were. 1look in vain for a singlo un-| cultivated farm, The houses aro not one of them of the shanty or sod| kind. Beautiful groves are every- here; the fans of the whirMng wind: nills flash the sun's rays from a hun-| dred water pumpers, and the town) packed with teams and people is, for] 1ts size, the busiest one on the line of] tho B. & M. R. R, POFULATION. Last year Uncle Sam made a tally| -of the inhabitants and reported 665, which was a better showing than either of the towns east or west of here could make. But 665 is not the) population of Friend to-day. A yea: makes a big difference in a town like} this. Tused to know every one i Friendvillo~ and now, excepting Charley Friend, Ed. Whitcomb, Dr, Hewitt and a very few others, I find a town of strangers. A PRIENDVILLE FRIEND, In the olden time there was a geni| al gontleman, an enthusiastic beliove; in the future -of Friendyille, and withal a sound republican. This good friend of mino came originally fron Omaha. He loved Tur Bee, and how he used to work to help me §ot Hst of subscribers for it. Well, h was a railroad engineer, and one dark stormy night his engine went through a bridge and Michael Egan was dead, He knew the torrent was playing] havoo, 80 he uncoupled his enging from the train while he ran over the bridge to see whether the storm hae undermined the supports, Thus] ho went down to his death, alone; hel died that his passengers might live. If was not amid the roar of battle,| it was not under the stimulous of] patrivtio fervor, it was not some high official performing some grand bul dangerous duty; it was only a locomo. tivo engineer obeying orders. Michael Egan was one of the true heroes of overy day lifo, one whose valer will not be sung, one whose deeds the his torian will not record, but one whe noble devotion will live in the hear! and memories of a hostof warm, true friends. THE LAND for the original town site comprised fifty-six acres, three-fourths of whicl were given to the B, & M. Land Co. )| by Oharles E. Friend,' but it wi not many years before the progressive little city wanted more room, and ad. ditions wero made in the following or- der: Beutley's addition, sixty acres; 0. E. Friond's 1st addition, twent: acrey; J. K. Friend's addition, fiftee Page's addition, twenty acres.| Du tho last four weeks Mr. O, E, Friend has sold nineteen of thos lots at an average of 850 per lot. Tinley & Mortcn sold last week six| l:iaou of land at the rate the owne old it at & year ago; us it was farm land he presumed that no advance had been made in the price of the elgh‘tg.. but he could not get a deed for purchaser until an advancoe of] ten per cent. was paid, and so it i even Asfloultnml lands are booming] and holders are firm, while the buy-| * ors are getting all the time more nu-| morous, Town lots are steadily and even] rapidly advancing in value, IMPROVEMENTS, A school house that will ocoupy a blook 300 feet nquare is now in pi o of ereotion.
