Did you ever see Henry, H.? II not just step this

Henry is located on high eninence, one hundred
or one hundred and fifty feet above the river and
more beautiful site for large town is not to be found
either on this river or any other. Five years ago
few people lived here, and there was about many
buildings. Now, there is population Of twelve TO
fifteen hundred souls and large number OF fine
brick and frame dwellings and stores--t reminds me
Of the magic cities that have arisen to greatness in
the land OF gold.
Five years ago twenty dollars would buy fine lot,
now five hundred dollars would be refused. There
are fifteen stores and groceries, two carriage and
wagon makers shops two til ware stores. three or
four furniture stores large painting establishment,
two boot and shoe manufactures, one printing Office,
two commission houses one wharf bat, French
barber, two churches, two large male aud female
schools sable harmonist banjo company, " hard to
beat and many other things too numerous to name
here. Immediately back Of Henry there IL nine
or ten square mile prairie-a checker board, as u
were-dotted over with tceming fields Of splendid
wheat, corn, oats ana potatoes, rye and barley.

Illinois can furnish one half of creation for two

Your farmers may toll on your worn out old
