pay. They pay in every town wher'

Iowa are proud Of home enterprise ant

OF the social side of a city stranger
can form but slight idea. Careful
inquiry and. daily Intercourse with the
business and professional men of TiptoD
assures US of its general character. One
thing is certain, cultivated and refined
people from all sections Of the country
have made this their home, and whert
individuals possess good social qualities
communities do. A feeling of cordiali-
ty toward respectable strangers is always
manifested, and if not made to feel per-
fectly at ease in the society of Upton, II
will not be from fault in the citizens.
The success Of Tipton is not alone due
to the fact that it is n county seat; thougi
that had great influence in first at
tracing population, and continues TO
hold many here, who would otherwise
seek other and better fields Of labor.
The people who have made Upton their.
home, have made the town what it is.
1t required men who could WELD ali III
fluence-men who were willing to sac
ritice some of this worlds goods, and who
would identify their interest with those
of the town. All will at once bethinks
themselves and ask who are the men.
who have thus worked for the best in
terests of Tipton. You need but to look
about you and behod',hs improvements
made aud the good Influence brought to
bear, and you have the answer. Those
who have identified themselves with the
interests of Upton, are numerous, ana
we immagine we hear many respond:
IL have worked FOX the upbuilding OF
our town.
Water in great abundance is obtained
by sinking wells to a moderate depth =
| Timber is close to town, including all
the necessary vayitic:. The temperature
Of tie atmosphere is such as one woul'l
naturally expect to find here after hav-
in. read what we wrote regarding the
country. 1t is much nilder in winter
| here, than in the same latitude farther
east, and in the hottest weather i'll sum-
mer we have cool aud refreshing breezes,
which somewhat modify the burning
rays of the sun. There are a few of tho
natural advantages of the town, and v .
know of but few places but lack one OF
more of them.
fit is true as said that the number OF
church spires Of town indicate tho
public spirit animating it's citizens, then
Upton is on the right road to future
greatness. There are five churches in tho
placc-one to every three hundred in~
habitants consisting Of the Lutheran,
Methodist, Presbyterian, German Re-
form, and Congregational. OF tho
Lutheran, Rev. j. w. Henderson is
pastor; of the Methodist, Rev. w. II.
Brocksome; of the presby terian, Rev. T..
l.. Dodder, of the German Reform,
Rev. J Riale; and of the Congregational,
Rev G. S. Biscoe. Flourishing Sab
bath Schools are connected with all the
different churches.
In the matter of schools, Upton is
not behind any other town Of its size in
this part Of the country; and where so
many are dependent on the free school
system for an education, it is OF the ut
most importance that this matter should
receive all tie attention possible.
A large brick building which was
erected several years ago accommodates
in great part the scholars of the town
and smaller building, in the north
part of tie town, accommodates tht
rest ofthem.
Prof. w. Lewis is- Principal of all
the schools of the place, and is assisted
in his department. by Miss Jennie Focllt
J. J. Johnson conducts the grammar
department, Miss +. B. Smith the in
termediate, Miss Wilkinson the Secon-
dairy, and Miss NJ. II. Daniels the Pri
mary. Mrs. Scott conducts the schoo
in the north part of town.
The teachers are all doing good work
and deserve the help and good wishes o
all interested in educational matters.
In tho way Of sacred and benevolen
orders, we have the Manitou Lodge, No
