Corresponden s of The B Crestox, Union County, Ta., Jan Towa, an Indian word mean ing ““This is the place,” seems to have been recognized long ¢ the “un tutored mind” of the sa , 48 a part h America, that it is the of the garden spot and to-day it is first state in the Union in number of | | t, second in corn and wh bar! hogs rasc tuction of third e pr fourth in number of milk cows, and is unsurpussed for dairy purposes, graz aericulture | ing ¢ | UNION (OUNTV is situated 175 miles west of the Mis sissippi and 80 miles east of the Mis souri, on a table-land lying between the two rivers and in the second tier of counties north of the Missouristate | line. It contains about 275,000 acres, | divided into twelve townships; at the Tighest point is about 1,300 feet abovo the level of the sea, and is deemed one of the healthiest counties in the state. The larger portion of the county s a gently un- dulating prairie, there being however, a sufticient amount of tim- ber and bottom land to give variety to the face of the country and to sat isfy tho diversity of tastes or preju- dices of all. Grand and Platto rivers drain the greater part of the country, and in the immediate vicinity of each is considerable broken land, much of which is covered with a fine growth of native timber, principally oak, ash, elm, hickory, maple and ~ cottonwood THE S01L, is principally a black, sandy loam, from two to six feot deep and very enduring. Unlike the clayey lands in much of the eastorn part of the state, the land in this cnunl{, it is said, can be worked readily after severe rain storms, the sandy nature of the soil, coupled with the natural drainage, rendering this possible without inco wvenience or detriment to the growing crops. Among the carlier scttlers it was generally supposed that FRUIT GROWING, would, at best, meet witth indifferent success, and they were accordin rather slow to improve in that direc- tion. A few, however, of the more enterprising planted orchards, which are at present bearing regular and bountiful crops, and are a eredit to their owners and an honor to the young state. As soon as it becamo evident that fruits could be success- fully grown, trees were more generally lanted, and are now fast coming into earing, and the problem is solved. In this county corn is the staple, while wheat, oats, rye and flax are grown extensively, and the small fruits are universally successful, Stock- rasing is one of the most profitable branches of industry, and the creamery i coming into prominence in every hamlet as A new and paying business. The Towa State Leader says: ‘‘Mark the prediction. Towa will be the su- gar state of the Union. In larce quantities common crude sorghum can be produced at # profit for fifteen cents a gallon, and then yield a better rent for the land than wheat. It is the surest crop now grown. It sim- ply never fails, Why, then, should not Towa be the great sugar state?” Among the EARLY SETTLERS who came to this part of the state, following where only a few hunters and trappers had before visted, wero a company of Mormons, numbering 2,000 or 8,000 souls. In the year 1845, when the troubles at Nauvoo had caused a scattering from that place, we find among the bands of refugees, who wandered over this great ‘“Unknown West,” one that set- tled tifteen miles east of Creston, and remaining six or eight years at a place named by them Pisga, and where they erected a mill, making the burrs from the native boulders, or ‘‘nigger heads,” found along the streams, The organization of the county dates back to 1853, when a warrant was issued to John Edgecomb as or- ganizing sheriff, and the first paper was printed in 1860, at the county seat, and was called the Afton Eagle. A¥TON, ten miles east from Creston, is still the county seat, and was named after the wife of E. A. Temple, the original owner of the town site, which was probably selected on account of the abundance of beautiful, clear, cold springs of water found there. It was laid out n 18b4, and the following year became the county seat, and now contains about 1,600 inhabi- tants, with three banks, six churches, numerous stores, shops, schools, and the county buildings, THAYER, a village of 200, 1s near the eastern border of the county, and contains a hotel, drug store, grocery, general merchandise store, two churches, shops, etc., and was laid out in 1808, KENT, on the Hopkins Branch, ten miles to the northwest, has iwo churches, tive stores, lumber yard, school, a popula- tion of 100, and is a shipping station for a thickly settled country aronnd it CROMWELL, in the extreme west, is of the same e, and has a union school, two urches, hotel, seven stores, elevator, mill, and lumber yard, and a popula- tion of about 300, CRESTON was nothing but a prairie, and not a bouse in sight, when the C., B, & Q. railroad was built here twelve years The towm was laid out by the ton Town company,” and being on the high ground, or crest, between the Mississippi and Missouri, and ex- actly on the ‘‘divide,” was named ago. ‘prl Creston. In 1871 the town was in- corporated, and at the first mu micipal election about 50 votes were polled, a candy box being used instead of the more pretentious ballot, while to-day it has a popula tion of 7,000 or &&KJ, which is about | with the city two-fifths of all the in the county. Like most of the new towns in the west, it lacks the shade trees, which arc yet young, and the city fathers should he more carnest in sccuring such improvements, including a campus or park people THE ¢, B & Q. railroad has a north branch and a south branch radiating from this point, in addition to which they have done much for the growth and pros perity of the place A mile or two west of the city they have a reser voir covering sixty acres of ground, while the enclosure includes ninety acres, and the mains of the Holly system run through the center of the town to the machine shops and round house, furnishing an abundance of ., and a few “plugs” at conveni lities ar osed to afford protection against the fire fiend. Not withstanding the assi thus ren dered by a free ueo of water, the com- pany are understood to have of to make permanent angements 1 furnish all the water needed if the town will lay the distributing pipes and connect” with their mains, ance THE ROUND HOUSE of the company is one of the largest in the west and contains sixty stalls, while more than a hundred engine centre here. The business of the shops, of the company, has far out grown the buildings where it is done, and several stalls of the round house have been pressed into service to mect the deficiency. It is understood that the company have already taken stops to begin the ercction of new shops and large storage buildings this spring, the plans for some of the buildings being already drawn. An idea of the work will be understood more fully by stating that the storage building is expected to be 250 feet long and two stories high, and the machine shops 250 feet long, and boiler shops and blacksmith shops in addition, and ali to be of brick. Tle division superintendent and many other officials and officos are here, and all the work of the divi- sion is done here, there being about 500 or 600 men employed by the cor pany here, including train men who are residents of the place. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT isoneof the most energetic and cfficient to be found in any city of this size, and, as the “‘sacred fire” was always kept burning on the altar, at the shrine of Vesta in the Roman forum, in the heart of the city, so we find here the engine house and council rooms in the centre of the city where the boys ure in readiness to answer to the call, and the beantiful and well trainod team will rush to the engine when the bell gives the alarm. The firemon from this place, while attend- ing the parade or firemon’s tourna- ment at the Blufls this last fall, went over to Omaha to have agood time, and on their return home passed some resolutions, making very strong com- parisons between the Ciate City and somo other places, and if the firemen of Omaha should cver have oceasion to come to Creston they will find the fire department of this place ready and anxious to reciprocate their kind- ness and hospitality. The city has a fine Babcock engine and the usual I)amphcnmlin, including hook and adder and hose companies. The MANUFACTURING INTERESTS have been sadly neglected, there be- ing practieally none. The gas is fur- nished by a stock company with a cap- ital of 850,000, 83:’»,0‘50 being already invested in the present works, Capt. J. D. Felton, the superintendent, has put up gas works in perhaps twenty places, including Sioux Cily, Cedar Rapids, Mount Pleasant, Ottumwa and the Bluffs, and says this is the best paying for its age of any he has noticed, The city is fortunate in the posses- sion of a PUBLIC LIDRARY, largely due to the liberality of C. E. Perkins, Esq., of Burlington, and Na- thaniel M. Forbes, of Boston, Mansa- chusetts, who subscribed liberally to the stock, and also made valuable do- nations of books to aid the enterprise. The library asssociation owns a fine building, have one or two thousand volumes, and the institution is already self-sustaining. THE CITY SCHOOLS, are in excellent condition. The courso of study includes the preparatory course for state colleges. The city owns three fine brick school buildings and four rame ones, and will, during the pres- ont year, erect another brick structure. There are now mmeteen departments, including one night school, and the school houses are very conveniently located. Perhaps we cannot prosent the GENERAL BUSINESS of the place more plainly than by no- ticing the number of business houses, and then naming a fow of the {:rimi— 1 firms. There are three banks, ten otels, ten churches, seven school houses, twenty lawyers, twelve physi- four newspapers, throe bakeries, eight coal dealers, two flouring mills, five grain firms, five barber shops, five clothing stores, two agricultural im- plement houses, two book and news stands, one butter and eggs house, six boot and shoe stores, thirty dress making and millinery establishments, nine dry goods houses, six drug stores, two of furniture, fifteen of groceries and provisions, four of hardware, four of stoves and tinware, ten insurance offices, three job priuters, four tailors, four meat markets, five eleyators, two fuumlr{ and machine shops, three liv- ery stables, four jewelry stores, five real estato and loan oftices, threo lum- ber yards, four wagon shops, besides rhyu.gru phers, dentists, gunsmiths, brickyards, creamery, marble works, harness shops, several wholesale houses, pawnbroker, and eight saloon cach paying a 81,600 license, THE NEWSPAVERS are well supported. The Gazette is in ita ninth volume, and having just moved into its new and comfortable quarters in the Eagle block, it con tinues to issue its and weoekly editions by steam, and “walk the chalk” on the pure republican plat- form, The Advertiser is a small, soven colum dailyn that has a great deal of news to the square inch, and like its ambitious edivor, Mr. 5, A. Brewster, is bound to win 1t pluck will take it there; while W H. Robb, the gentle manly proprietor of the Independent American, publishes a wide-awake greenback paper, and gives his readers the worth of their money once a week, and has a good circulation, As we follow along the beantiful streets, with their wide sidewalks, we see that outside of the business ce tor the city stretches far avay like icture with nice, comfortable dwel- ings at pleasant distances, but no- where do we find the costly mansion and very few of the hovels of poverty and filth, while among the business houses the large brick blocks are the fashion, One hundredand fifty thousand dollars worth of brick buildings for trading and oftice use have been built during the past year,and as much more i promised the coming season, including one of the largest hotel buildings in the state, and a grand opera house, MORE IMPROVEMENTS are wanted, and before long some good business men will see this good opening and plant a pork packing house here, or an establishment for canning fruit and vegetables, an oil mill, a starch or glucose factory or a wagon manufactory, and another dent ist may find plenty to do. Creston seems seems to have a large number of good HOTELS, and yet they are always full, and the coming season will add another, that will probably be the best hotel in this part of the state, if not in the whole state. Theso are at present two very popular hotels. The Summit house is a magnificent three story brick with the modern convenitnces, and is un- dor the present managemont of the proprictors, Messrs, Swan & Becker, who are thorough hotel men and fully up to the times, and the people are proud of this hotel and its manage- ment, This is beyond doubt the largest and most popular hotel along this line, and has the reputation of being first class. The Bevere House on the South Side, just across the track, is under the management of Messrs Yancy & Haunson, two energetic, clear-headed young menof experience, and who have the happy faculty of making their guests feel at home. They are overrun with business and are expect- ing to add to their building so they can accommodate their many patrons and do justice to all. If you want a quiet and happy home over the Sab- bath, whero every want is supplied, you will find it here, and many pre- fer this to the Summit. THE BEE is a regular visitor at three banks, the principal hotels and most of tho lead- ing business houses in the city, and a member of one of the heaviest busi- ness firms rematked to your corres- pondent, that ‘We are neverso busy that we cannot find time to look into Tie Ber two minptes when it comes, for you have a happy faculty of ar- ranging your paper.” In noticing the improvements of the city we would call particular attention to some of the enes business firms that be- long to Tne Bk family. Passing the «rand opera Louse to be erected next spring by J. B. Harsh and B. Burch and the mammoth hotel by George W, Cartlich, on the corner of Pine and Montgomery stroets, who comes with a largo capital from Little Rock, Ark., to locate in the garden of the world, and which has already been referred to, and find “Zimmerman the druggist” in the Eagle block. This is one of the most complete establishments in this part of the state. The proprictor feels justly proud of his new quarters, which he has just finished after his own plans, and being well stocked with everything usually found in his line, including an immense stock of Earlumury and choice cigars, he is appy in a large trade and is very popular. A, F. KEITH & SON have quite recently opened their great hardware store on Pine street, joining the few adventurous men who make fortwnes by what is often supposed to be foolhardy obstinacy, and fi{(u KEITH & STEW ART, of the boot and shoe store hard-by, they are drawing the business to them and building up themselves while thoy are building up the new part of town with a pluck and deter- mination that makes a rattling among the ‘“dry bones.” W. B, CUTTER, THR ARTIST, is one of the few in his profession. Ho has two tine photograph gallerics, and quite & number of assistants, while he and his accomplished wife have elegant rooms fitted up for the oxpress purpose of prosecuting the tiner and more delicate parts of their profession. Mr. Cutter is one of the gifted ones, who was born an artist, and is entirely devoted to his work, and has fow, if any, equals west of Chicago, and uses che ‘‘pencil and brush” in portraits in a way that puts to shame the cheaper productions of the camera. GRANT & JOHNSON, who are doing a large business in the grain trade in several states, and have a mill and eleyator here, make this their headquarters, THE BANK OF CRESTON is another institution so peculiar that a special notice may be of interest This banking house has peculiar facilities for disposing of school bonds and township bonds, as they have an agency in Boston, and various other eastern cities, and have already disposed of over §3,000,000 worth of such bonds, and do & very large busi- ness, with American’ and European houses, and have a large capital. Weo would acknowledge many fa- yprs received of Mr. John M. Hays, one of the popular and rehable attor- neys of the city, whose business re- lations in many important enterprises of the town, have placed him among the solid men of this fair young eity, and to Messrs, J. B, Harsh and Hig bee for kind and valuable assistance. Miss Mitchell, of Chicago, who is here holding & musical convention, is deemed an excellent musician and & skillful conductor, and this may be of interest to the readers of Tug Bee in Lincoln or some other cities in Ne braska where she has engagements, Buokeve, Mr. J, Marsh, Bank ot Toront Ont., writes: “Biliousness and dy a seeni to laye geown up with we; haviog biecn o sufferer for years, 1 have tried m ny reme. | dies, but with no lasting result until T used your BUkDock BLoob Birreks, They have” been truly a blessivg to ne, and I cannot - peak 100 highly of them.”' Price 81,00, trial size 10 cente, G-lw Mrs. J.
