railroad mans IS Toledo Station. We
found the Burg alive, ard consider.
able activity in business, in buying
grain, selling lumber, goods sc. Quite
number OF new buildings have .een
crested during the past season, and
considerable Improvement made, but
We presume not as much as there would
have been, had not the Iowa Central
Railroad company been formed, and
the question left unsettled as TO whether
they will cross the &. II & NJ. X. Il.
at that point or further west. Messrs
Merchant, Harmon and Murray, have
nearly completed very fine brick
hook, consis ting # four stores on The
ground 4 20. This " II be when com
pletel the finest building in the count,
and would be a credit to any town.
Mr.. c. X Bodfish, the curative, real
and enterpIising father Of the new
town is also entitled to much credit FOR |
this new block, as We understand he
vas chiefly instrumental in starting the
enterprise, and was one Of the party Of
fout that commenced its erection. H. |

Since 1855. there has not been
such an immigration to this county as
there has been the past summer And |
j, DID not elise with the summer. for
up y the present time he stream I'D |
pears uninterrupted Many are pur.
chasing improved farms, and some Of I
our old farmers, who came here ak
eight. ten or =. few dozen years
ago, with bat means sufficient to nav
for their land a, 1878 or So % or
come % % per acre, are now selling
ont, after improS:ng it, for, from eight
to forty dollars per acre, according to
location and extent Of improvements.
They have done we'll generally. The
present purchasers, think themselves
equally fortunate in being able to secure
some OF the good farms We have in
this county,-and really they are all
such-wrh the present and prospective
railroad facilities, at the prices they are
paying. Some OF our new settlers.
who have but limited means, but are
energetic and enlerpr,s,ng, are pur
chasing our nuimproved prairie lands
n from 1900 to 1920 per acre, and
will soon have them converted into
beautiful farms. We would say 10 our
friends east Of us, that there are an in
Vulnerable plumber Of chances vet left
in this county to open as nice farms az
the heart If man can desire but We
must add that they are being taken up
very rapidly. We have an cast and
west railroad running through the
county, giving US an eastern make,
and will soon have north and south
railroad, giving US the advantages Of
both southern and eastern market.
Mary immigrants are anticipating these
advantages, and are already securing
good LOCATIONS. There is s.ill room for
thousands more.
We would recommend to our eastern
friends, DESTROYS Of further information,
to the following legal Real Estate
Agents, and a strictly loyal man would
address no other persons, unless thew
have con6ding friends OF acquaintance
in this county.
Address Graham h Nelson or Silver.
