Garden GROVE. Iowa.


Mr. J. w NORRIS AS there are great
numbers seeking homes in the far west and
as yonr excellent paper is read by scores, per-
haps short description of this part of Iowa
might be help to some who are seeking
nome in the west. There are several things
that emlgrants to new country are desireous
of knowing First, they want to get to a
healthy country; End, a fertile country
and also a we'll watered country, and last, and
not least of all, they want good climate
Now this part of Iowa has all these good
qualities There is no doubt but this is as
healthy place as any portion of the State,
but if any one expects to find place this side
Of Heaven where the inhabitants can say |
am never sick, he will be sadly disappointed
AS to the quality of soil, there is none better
in Iowa or Illinois, having Travelled extensive
ly through Illinois and considerably over
Iowa, Judge Understandings. The country
is gently rolling, with rich black loan. and
is we'll adapted to the raising of all kinds Of
grain and stock in particular. There is an
abundance of good timber TO supply all this
As to orr TO WI Garden Grove) it is a thriving
village settled nv an enterprsing class of men.
Our Town is yet in its infancy, but it bids
fair 10 make place Of considerable note.
There are at this time five stores, two black
smith shops, one boot & shoe store, one Tay-
lor, and Touring mill in successful operation.
erected at a cost of $4,000. There is as fine a
school house perhaps, as there is in Iowa;
brick thirty by forty feet, two stories high,
with steepIe and beIfry-built at cost of
$4,000 There is no church a, present, but
the Methodists contemplat building one the
coming season to cost 5000 or 600. There
are or houses that are on the way to COM
pletion and more than that number that will
be built. not yet commenced. For the last few
DAYS there has been good deal of excitement
and it continues TO increase from the discovery
of Gold in several places from h,f 20 three
miles from this place. Preparations are be-
ing made TO make through trial. That gold
has been found there is no doubt, and some
that have worked in the Gold mines of Cali
fornia are now prospecting and they give it as
their opinion that the prospect is good. Some
have averaged their So day. Some consid-
cradle amount has been found and the pros
poets are brigh!ning daily l should not be
at all surprised if people should come in upon
us like mighty avalanch the coming season.
As to the price of Land, those wanting to buy
will fna the prices reasonable. Improved farms
near town range from $50. to $50 an acre, I'M
improved land three or four miles off, from
SO to SIS per acre, and still further land can
be had for shade less. w. d. FOUTS.
