EpDYvjlLE.

A visit of two days duration, a'
this pleasant little city, in the north
west corner of the county, was The
means Of giving an insight into The
business of the place, which, at pres
cnt isvcry gratifying to tsmechanics
and business men. There, as else
where, the people have taken up the
stcreotyped cry of dull times and
scarcity of money, but having lived
there for many years, we feel safe i'll
saying that the city never looked bet
ter than now in the winter, and bust
ness, considering circumstances, is not
usually better than at present. The
merchants carry stock sufficient to
meet the requirements of the trade,
have got down to cash system of
doing business generally, and are
flourishing. The men doing business
in Eddyville, generally, own their
business property, live at home, sub
scribe and pay for the COURIER, con-
scquently a more contented people
are hard to find. j
Their churches are large, commo-
dious, and generally supplied with
eloquent pastors. But we have an
opinion that our Methodist brethren
up there would improve the appear
ance Of their church by giving ii q
coat of paint. However. we only
make the suggestion in kindness, and
not in the spirit Of fault-finding.
Eddyville has one of the finest
school-buildings in the valley, and as
usual, has a very excellent school, the
teachers in which are oil ladies, of
many years. experience. The AVER
age citizen has commendable pride
in the public schools of the place,
which, perhaps, are as good as any in
the State. and the young ideas can
learn to shoot, or play marbles, there,
as well as anywhere else.
In the line Of improvements the
most notable is that made on the Old
Amos House, which is now under The
care of w. w. Miller and Mr.. Plough,
gentlemen who are well known Rll
over the country. The house, with
the exception of the outside walls,
has almost altogether been made new,
additions built, new arrangement of
rooms, new beds and bedding, new
furniture, carpets, and almost every
thing else new about the place. We
may be pardoncd for alluding to the
table, which is always supplied with
the best the market affords, victuals
well cooked and politely served. The
proprietors give their business their
personal attention, and the RESULTS al
model hotel. 1t is now known as the
Plough House. II
Sidewalks are everywhere to be
seen, the streets are handsomely grav-
eled, and shaded with maple trees,
and almost every home is surrounded
by an orchard. Several new build
ings will be built in the spring, we
were informed !; thenew depotis now
well under way. 1t will not Be las
large as the old one, by considerable,
but will be better in most respectsI
Therefore, we conclude that Eddy
vile, at present, is in better shape, lin
every way, than 1t has been for years.
