keosAuouA.

The town bearing the above name
was located about the time Adam and
Eve committed their little foolish
ness down i'm the garden of Eden, and
then laid all the blame on the snake.
keosauqua has not improved much
since its foundation, and now furnish
es more roosting places for owls and
bats, tliau any half dozen towns in
the state not counting Keokuk in the
number. 1t is sadly out of repair
generally, and why ii should be so to
such pre-eminent degree we cannot
tell. 1t is handsomely situated, in a
valley between a semi-circle Of low
hills and the river, across which they
have dam, and perhaps the town re-
ceives about a, many damns as any
other town in the world. They have
splendid school buildings, three
or four churches, handsome court
house, and not sidewalk in the town.
The wagon roads through the streets
wind around through the towering
weeds like q sheep trail on a noun
tain side, and we should judge it
would be one of the best places in
which to get religion, in christcndom.
A fellow would have a sure thing on
it when he got it because there is no
temptation down there that could
drive a man out of the narrow path,
especially when the weeds arc wet.
keosauqua has furnished the coun-
try some very notable statesmen, and
eminent jurists, whose fame. from
present appearances, will outlivc the
town. We like Keosauqua. Her
people are very accommodating, OK
traordinarily sociablc, and as con-
tented, perhaps, as though they flour
ished under the protecting care of
the United States.
Van Buren, is wealthy county
and most of the people of Keosauqua
live in their own houses even though
the family wardrobe, in many in
stances, is made to do duty for the
double purpose of keeping out the
rain and the cold.
The society in Keosauqna is said
to be excellent and we have no doubt
of the truth Of the saying, nor have
we any doubt but they are as pros
porous and happy as they care to be,
but why they do not take greater
pride in their town is strange.
While we were there this morning
we thought what difference now
ing machine driven through the
streets few turns would make, and
much more homclike the town would
look after the citizens got used to it..
We hope they will try it, but we
sha'n't cry about it if they don't.
