W. H. Heaton, an English gentleman,
has arrived and is looking for lands in
this vicinity.
John and Albert Hector, of Howard
county, Iowa, have arrived and settled
i'll Indian Lake, on Section 26. They
are already breaking and have brought
10 to II head OF stock to start with.
Mr.. Dean, of Renova, Pa, is on Wis.,
it to the Colony. Mr.. D. owns a farm
in Indian Lake and Il lot in town. He
expresses himself as well pleased with
the country, and reports times very
hard in the numbering regions of Penn
sylvania, with a great many failures.
Byron Fellows and wife, and Guy
Fellows, sons of Milton Fellows, of
Elk, arrived 4 few days ago from Mis-
souri,. They came through by team
from Missouri, driving some $50 miles
and were 25 days on the way. They
found the roads exceedingly bad and
naturally were ''sloughed" several times
but got through without any serious
damage. They will both remain on
the farm with their father and intend
making this their permanent home.
Mr.. Fellows has secured about 480
acres of land in this county. and in
tends taking still more. lie brought
with him some ten head Of mules and
has arrangements for supplying any
demand from Missouri which may a.
rise. Parties wishing to trade land for
mules should apply to Mr.. Fellows.
The County Officers moved into the
new County Building yesterday. We
looked over the building and we must
compliment Messrs. Robinson, Thur
Der and Chandler as having done very
neat and substantial job of work. The
entrance is in the Tenth Street front.
There is short hall at the end of
which is door opening into the Offices
of the Treas. and Reg. of Deeds. On the
right is the Office Of the Sheriff and Cl'k
of Court and on the left, the Auditors
Office. To the left, just at the entrance,
is a stairway leading up to the Court
room, which is large enough for town
hall, and we hope, since the town is
now without a suitable hall, that some
arrangement will be made to have the
use Of this room for public gatherings.
The plastering and mason work were
done by Mr.. Twitchell.
Milton Fellows and daughter passed
through town few days since on their
way to Jackson county to visit rela.
tives there. This visit is to Ezra Hop.
kins, his brother-in~law, who came to
Jackson county from Wisconsin five
years ago. Mr.. Fellows came up from
Missouri this Spring and located III
Mobiles county. Neither knew that
the other was in this part Of the west
until the other day they met by chance
III the ADVANCE office and were mutu'
ally surprised and pleased.
Who says stock raising will not pay
in this country. Mr.. Fiero, of Indian
Lake, has CO " for which he paid $35
two years ago. Now he has two COWS,
one yearling, and two calves, the in.
crease being 4 head. The young COW
is worth $25, the yearling worth SIS
and two calves are worth SIS each
This is $50 increase in two years on an
investment of $35. Tie milk and but
ter from the original cow has more
than paid for her keeping.
