T THE MARCH OF PROCRESS, Long Strides by David Oity, the Capital of Butler Oounty. Twelve Hundred Inhabitants ‘Who Live in a Live Town, Interesting Desoription of Butler Comnty nnd its Resources. Corre pondence of Tim Brn. Daviv Crry, November 21, ~Three yenrs have gone by since I last visited David Oity, and the changes wrought by that bricf period left little for me to remembey, when yesterday 1 tra- wersed the broad and beautiful public square and gazed av the ranks of busi- ness houses that enclosed the four eides of that little park. Some land marks remained, notably the court houss, an inferior frame building, that” will, no doubt, disappear with ethers of its kind oro another yoar has passed over the hill of time into the realm of the pasglh New buildings wero evorywhore conspicuous, and the bright smiles of thebusiness men told of peace and prosperity. 1 met Dr. Pecbles, the old veteran of the medical department. He smiled blandly, hunted for the cash to pay for Tuz Bre one year and re- marked that this was a poor country for doctors and but for recruits in the infancy line his business would not pay for horse feed. The bank president, Mr. Jas, Bell, found a golden eagle in the northwest corner of the money drawer and ro marked that he had sold during the last six months 114 car loads of lum- ber, which item T noted as showing what a single dealer could do ina land where huli the shingles bear evi- dence ot short acquaintance with the weather. There was only one man who said anything about quitting business and that was Henry Will, landlord of the Commercial house. The hotel was full during tho three days T stopped with him, s0 he canmot be resigning the landlorship for went ot custom: nevercheless the hotel is for sale, and intending purchasers of hotel property should correspond with Mr. Will or they w.ll loss one of the bast bargains in that line that I know of. There is at least one store in this city that does a jobbing trade; there may bo others, but they put forward no claims in that direction. Mr, W, G. Boston has sold to dealers during the past season seven car loads of hardware, stoves and tinware, Mr. J. B. Morgan has made exten- sive additions to his stock of furniture, sewing machines and undertaking goods. A pork packing department has been added to the fine meat market of Mr. G. G. Gross, who also keeps an extensive stock of groceries. It was my pleasure to attend a sale of Durham a®ws, heifors and bulls, conducted by Hon. J. C. Roberts, of Roberts, Westover & Williams, at- torneys. Nearly two hundred head of blooded stock were offered and a large proportion went off with new owners, but many of the best still re- main and will be disposed of on long time with a low rate of interest or a discount for cash. D. R. Ballock has just refitted and reopened the David City House. The loan and law office of Mr, Matt Miller is one of the busiest places in town. 1t is a dullday when Matt has nothing to do, A bran new agricultural implement warehouse has sprung from the flames that devoured the store of Mr. Morris and he is now booming his business more energetically than ever before. To Mr. Jones T am indebted for items, favorsand dollars, Such men are the life of a town. | st, but by no means least, on this list of men who are making their mark in David City, comes that well | known real estate firm of Bunting & Runyon, agents for railroad and other | lots and lands. Mer. Bunting labored | zealously to secure o good representa- tion for Butler county in u spondence.

Williams. THE: COUNTY. Butler county is one of the best atock and agricnltural sections in the atate. It soil isa rich, dark allurium, decp and faiable, and it contains just enough silica to render it warm and quick, 1t hasan underlying corrug- ated stratum of clay, supporting n soil remarkably porous, allowing the air to penctrate, thus carrying woist- ure to the rocts of vegetation, whi moisture operates in a_diverse direc- tion from the clay subsoil. Such soil will endure greater extremes of wet | and dry weather than auy otaer in the known world. That is the secret of the marve!lous "growth of vegeta tion in these south Platie counties, during seasons of excessive rainfall or periods of growth., Thero may be instances of u partial failure of crops, but an entire loss will probably never The county has an area of 594 square miles at | 1ths of it bein susceptible 3 st stato of cul tivation and the other fraccion suitable for grazing purposes. The Platte river fringes its northern border and the Blue river, Oak creek, Plum creck and other tributaries, tow through | the southern portion; while Scull, Bono and Deer creeks and their brauches water the opposite half of Patches of timber skirt | the county. the larger streams and excellent water powers invite the manufacturer. The topographical features of the county {do not vary materially from other south Platte counties. It is more undulated than Adams county, but not as much so as Saunders, No ordi nary amount of wet weather will ever interfore with agricultutal pur- 8uits or create pools of stagnant water, The climate is equible and the seasons are usually propitions. Nature could not provide s botter country fora rural people,and the most thrifty representa- tives of that element are availingthem solvos of 1ta advantages. The popu- Iation of the county is not far from 12,000, composed of the best class of Americans and Europeans. vortant railroads span the count the Omaha & Republican Valle: general direction extending east west, and the Atchison & Nebraska branch of the Burlington & Missouri Riverrailroad running at right angles. There are no paupers in the county. The educational interests are in good standing. There is a complete corps of teachers, and buildings suf- ficient for all practical purposes. For their support there is a land- ed endowment of 22,000 acres, and this magnificent fund iv rapidly accumulating in value. About 80,000 acres of prime land are for sale in the county, mostly railroad and speculators’ tracts, at very reason- able rates, Excellent well water can be obtained all over the county, at a depth of from twenty to fifty feet. The hardy fruite, if properly culti- vated, do remarkably well, and there aro numbers of flourishing orchards already in successful bearing, Small fruits, especially, thrive with very lit- tle attention. ~ Altogether, Butler county offers inducements to the man- ufacturer, the facmer or tho man of ample means that cannot be iguored, and are certainly not surpassed by any other equal aren. It possesses a soil of remarkable fertility, a salubrious climate, railway and telegraph lines afford cheap communication with the great warts of the nation, churches and schools abound, and an intelli- | gont and thrifty people have al- | ready planted their banners horo and are changing tho face of the country from its primitive condition | into fruitful fields, and dotting it | with shady groves and happy homes, | The time is not far distant when a | dense population will toem on all this | region, wnd the arts of peace will dwell with them and the very acie of | civilization will crown their achiove- | ments, THE TOWN, David City, the county seat, con- tains a populution estimated at twelve hundred. 1t is located very nearly w the centre of 1he county. Over seventy business ostablishments of kind are in successtul operation, hes and schools are amplo, good hotels and livery enterprises afford ac- commodation in their line, two banking houses, three lumber yards, two clevators, two depots and two rival railroads, make aflars whirl with such vim as rarely falls to the lot of a seven-year old western town. The professions and mechanies, branches are weil represented, and the people are wide-awake, enterprising and full of local pride and patriotism. The streets are broad, and in the centre of the city is a pretty public square, planted with trees and overgrown with grass like a beautifal lawn. Masons, 0dd Fellows, Knights of Honor, G. A. R. and other societies have flour- ishing ludges. Right here is one of the best points for a flouring mill in the state. A large number of well cultivated arms are near, and hun- dreds of thousands of bushels of wheat are raised within a rcasonable distance, while all this scope of coun- try is without a mill. No better op- portunity presents itself for the erec- tionof a four or five run mill. The | leading citizens would encourage such an_enterptise, and it would be a great benefit to this part of the country. Let some one with an eye to business come here and putupast and see how quick he woule Then there are other manuf interests that mieht be made profita- ble; a cheese factory, machine shops, | Two im-| THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUI A THANKSGIVING ST0RY, Told by the Tur g I hate to see an ungratefus man, [goodness knows; but an wngraicful turkey ~a turkey who has lived to como down off his perch the morning after Thanksgiving—the proud fowl who is by an ‘indulgent desting per- mitted to walk over the feathors of his late fellow gobblers and 1sn't proper, | impressed with the situation, I eay b | ought to be tarred and unfeathered by an iudignant populace. 1 shall not begin the telation of my life and ad- vontures with any doletul reflections, or any moralizing on the whereforo of my being born a turkey, and the con- | sequent bringing up in_full view of a ateful and” scemingly inevitablo nksgiving day. o might be born for worse things |1 had a very disagreoablo neighbor whom T envied once—a poac ek with a ravishingly beautiful tail; but alas, | ono day while stratting down the road airing his plumage, he had his earthly career and his lovely tail cut off by o great ungainly sausago wagon.

I hada twmn-brother who was a good-natured fellow enough, but he was not handsome. As suon as we chipped our shells we were claimed by the farmer's two sons, who wran- gled a good deal over what to call us. A youny turkey, as yon may know, isn't particularly lovely, and at that age I saw no reason to be vain or haughty with my brother, who after- wards turned out badly. You may call yours Billy or Jack, if you like,” enid my little boy, sitting under a chesnut tree untying a lot of cotton twine to make akite tail. *‘As for me, Charley, T havoaleeady named my turkey, Mustapha.” “Sounds like mustard,” said Char- loy, throwing a chip slyly at ono of my toes. ‘‘What does it mean?/ It's awful queer, ain’t it?" ““Yes; but it's got some style to it He don’t look like a common turkey, and he ought to have an uncomuon name.” “Well, you've got it, I should say. 1 never heard of no Mustaphas in all my born life, and you neither, 1 guess.” ‘You ain’t read no tales of kings, I reckon,” eaid my master, Freddy, tarning very red in the face. *‘Mus. tapha has been the name of a lot of kings and princes in story books, don’t you know—them stories Sallie Horton used to read to Kity when she sprain- ed her knee falling out of the cherry tree. Mustapha means a great lot of things, T dou’t know what all; ask Kit- ty. I1f Iwas you, Charley, I'd call mine Ali. He's another of the same kind of chaps. It's most as pretty as Mustapha, too.”’ “L'll see,” sud Charley; taking a better aim at me this time, *“T'm going to lave a christening soon as ever mine can stand a ducking iu that old trough yonder,” This chance remark came near cost- ing us our lives, as we were both held under water so long that our teeth rattled, or they would if we had any.
