TeavrI ,sa.-- Hotel pusinefs is rcviving
little latcly--arrivals are becoming more
numerous, and landlords are getting on
pleasant countenances gen rally. For a
while the reception rooms IF our principal
houses were as dull and A,nely as Yer
mont Sunday in June, and the receipts too
small to make it an object to keep the doors
open to the public. Oflate We notice many
strange faces about oyf streets, who arc Wis
iting Davenport-sSmc temporarily, some
seeking investments, who intend to stay
with us, while others are prospecting. You
could not find better place, strangers.
CRur PRosrxcrs.-We arc told that the
crop prospects Of l9wa exceed those Of llli-
nois, Indiana or Wisconsin. Our farmers
are becoming very mucb encouraged at the
as to their future prosperity
1t proves more advantageous to those who
have been laboring and toillpg under heavy
mortgages for many years past, cndeavoring
to keep their homesteads from the hands Of
the sheriff. Grccnbacks are worth just as
much to them for the liquidatiort of indebt-
edness as gold was four years ago at which
time they could get only about 60 gents for
good wheat, which now demands q Rout two
dollars. This is really encouraging for the
farmers and We hope to see them Improve
the opportunity q best they can.
