1t does one good to go out among the people
now and then, and snuff the pure air and revel
in the sunshine of the happy free county; and
no point of our own beautiful county do we
visit with more satisfaction than the beautiful,
quiet, thriving village OF Gilead situated at the
GrOnd Rapids of our majestic and historic Mau-
NEE. The site is one of the most picturesque on
the river In full view Of the great slack water state
dams, aud on beautiful sloping beach above
and opposite the magnificent rapids; having
commading view of the villages of Providence
and Qugeyville, the Wabash canal, and large
extent of country on the north side Of the river.
The village numbers some 800 souls, contains
large commodious tavern near the Rapids, from
which the view is enchanting. Our friend
Steedman is the ever.ready, active, intelligent
and accommodating host Of the "Grand Rapids
Hotel" Messrs. Lashey, Pratt & Co., G. w.
MDonald, s. Clymer r. B. Mead and George
Hospelhorn, have each their respective stores
well filled, and are good, pleasant, reliable busi-
ness men. The former is one of the largest
trading houses in the West, and our friend Las
key is one of the most polished, intelligent and
popular merchants of our acquaintance. The
town is surrounded by finely improved coun-
try and has a very extensive trade. 1t is i'm
proving rapidly, and in few years will cover
all of that magnifcent bluff, aud that beautiful
table land opposite the Rapids. 1t has a com
municaton with the canal By a side cut from
the feeder dam, half a mile above the town, has
a splendid grst mill one steam and one water
saw mill, and several ware houses. The wheat,
corn, stave and lumber trade make it a point of
attraction at all times. Recently, however, we
notice that the council have enforced the build
ing Of side walks and crossings throughout the
entire town. which speak well for their taste
and add much 10 its neatness and comfort
Several fine dwellings have been erected within
the year, among which we remark the residence
of E. Arnold, Ex-Mlyor. He is now building
all elegant stone wall around his premises and
otherwise besutfying and improving the same
A very snowy and commodious high school
house has been erected on the table lands above
the village, and enother church will soon aIorr
the summit of neighboring bluff. Altogether
Gilead is one of the most entegprising, law
abiding, pleasant villages within the circle of ou
perambulations.
By the way, as our readers will notice, there
is patriotism as well as " balm in Gilead' W.
publish in another column notice from the Ad
jutant General for elec ton Of officers for al
Artillery Company in that place, which will b,
the lst Co. of the lst Brigade in the 9th Divis
ion. We suspect who is at the head of thi
movement! Then We say hurrah for Gilead -
Who's afraid Of the Mormons.
