| ITS BUSINESS MEN.
In the wide range of our acauaiu.
lance no town of its population, North,
South, East or West can compare
with this marrow city" in the extent
and variety Of either its local trade, its
purchases and shipments of grain and
the general products of the farm,-its
receiving and forwarding business, or
the extent of it's traffic in Agricultural
implements. Tributary to it is wide
range of country extending West, and
North West, one hundred and fifty
miles, and embracing every variety Of
soil with unsurpassed capacity of pro-
ductive wealth, containing an area of
1880 miles, and population of over
$4,000 souls. Situated on the west
side of the Mississippi River directly
opposite the western terminus Of the
Milwaukee & Pr. du Chen Railway.
it becomes naturally the Great Empori-
um of the wealth and labor of the active,
energetic and enterprising industry of
these vast numbers.
It's prospects for the future, judging
from the past, arc of the most brilliant
and promising character. The wide
range Of country tributary to it, teem-
ing with such unbounded agricultural
wealth as has already furnished it more
grain for shipment than has been sent
forward from any other point in the
State, is but in its infancy. The broad
expanse of rich and fertile prairies, the
pleasant rills and numerous rivers, the
rich and luxuriant groves interspersed
here and there all over its richly divers
fled surface contain the natural ele-
ments to sustain population of at least
a million souls. In view of these facts,
who shall set bounds to her future in
the road to wealth and Importance Of
her business men We may safely say,
they are the best advertised, as a class,
of any city in the North or West and
to this fact, as much as any other have
they made their natural advantages
promotive of their good. Her business
men most prominently identified with
her interests, and material growth and
prosperity are Benton & Brother:

i, the best kept house in the city, the
rooms being airy and clean, the viands

Gus and affab)e, and bills reasonable.
The real live institution Of the town is
the Times, high toned, conservative
sheet, devoted to the maintenance Of
the Constitution and the perpetuation
of the Union. The News also is publish
ed in GcGregor, but infuses into its ar.
ticles the virus of the Press under the
supervision of Tompkins, with only o
little more discretion in utterance, and
less honesty and ability.
