Our First visit to Warsaw

On Saturday last. we jumped aboard Of
the IL o'clock express train, and made our
way tor Warsaw. Ind. We arrived there
safely, and found that city in a flourish.
Ing condition, and crowded with peo-
pie TO its utmost capacity. From the
constant clatter of different vehicles, 60
ing to and fro,--the amount of noise
created by different mechanics, and the
whistling of engines on the different rail-
roads, and in the town, caused us to feel
somewhat blue" of our city, where the
country surrounding us is far better than
that of Warsaw.
In looking over the business part of
town, we discovered a magnificent build
ing, and by close examination it proved
to be the Indianian Office. On entering
we found those clever, generous and ac-
commodating proprietors, Mess.s. Will
Jams & Hosler, who spared no pains in
showing us through the several depart
ments of their well regulated establish
ment, which for convenience, in our opin
ion cannot be excelled. 1t being the last
week of March, Mr.. Hosler was kept very
busy making settlements with their regu-
lar advertisers, who never fail to pay at the
end of each quarter. Their subscription
is good, reaching we believe about 5000
bonafde subscribers. May such men as
Rheub and Quin live long and always
prosper.
We are under many obligations to Mr..
Williams, editor of the Indianiar, for
the courtesy and pains he took in show
ing us through the Odd Fellows Hall,
the new Opera Hall, and the large dry
goods, clothing, notion, and grocery
store, in five departments, under manage.
ment and control OF N. ID. Heller. propri-
etor, formerly OF Bourbon, Ind. This
store is five rooms deep, and the goods
are classified of, and arranged in system
attic manner, with a large arch leading
from one branch of goods to the other,
and clerks for every department. The
store is lighted up of an evening with
gasoline, and presents beautiful ap,
pearance 1t speaks well for Warsaw
We are told that Mr.. Heller pays $4,000
per year rensfor the MONS.
The Odd Fellows Hall can be called
nothing but palace. 1t undoubtedly
the finest hall we have ever seen, ant
shows great skill of the artist, who die
the fresco work. The masons we under
stand, contemplate building hall thi
summer, and have it finished up in sim
liar manner. Faith, hope and charity
win always win, and go ahead.
The opera hall, although unfinished
makes an impression upon the minds o
the citizens generally, that they will hav
place for amusemen is that will be secon'
to none in Indiana.
After feeling satisfied that we had go
"birds-eye" view of Warsaw, and wa
convinced that it had the get up" an
go ahead about it, and was somewha
tired, we stuck for hotel We were d
rected to the Wright House, where W
found Mr.. B. P. Wright, the proprietor
at his Office ready to receive his guests
and wait upon them with pleasure, Gu
treatment there was good, and will sa
for the travelling public, for home, sto
at the Wright House.
Satisfied with our visit we bid adIeu {
Warsaw, and started back, to reject ove
our home, where by little active woi
and by spending small amount of money
could be made o place double the bust
ness of that of Warsaw. j. L. s.
