The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1878-08-22

,., q UsIlAIOltE:~
On Friday last We drove over to the
new town of Rushmore, formerly named
Miller Station, the name of which was
changed because there was another post
Office i'll the State called miller" We
found that Mr.. Ruslmore had Ills large
new store about completed and ready to
put in the counters: The room was
decorated with flags and other >orna-
ments for the house. warming and dance
which was to come off in the evening.
The upper story of the building is d.,
vided into eight OF ten rooms, from
which we Judge that Mr.. II. expects to
entertain a good many of Ills New York
friends, OF to furnish hotel accommodate
tions until hotel is erected.
Just west of the large store is neat
little house, built by Mr.. r., and now
occupied by his family. This house has
been sold to Mr.. Scherzinger, who has
purchased several lots and some land,
and will mix farming and clock and
watch repairing. We found Mr.. S. on
the ground, well satisfied with his in
vestment, and pacing the quarterback
of the store somewhat eager for the fray
to begin.
The new depot, just finished and
opened with Mr.. RushmOre as agent. is
4 model Of neatness, and capable of ac-
commodating large quantity Of
freight.
East of the depot, Mr.. II. is building
warehouse, with capacity for some
II, 600 bushels of grain above. The low
er portion is to contain bins for oats
and compartments for coal.
Mr.. Griffin had the lumber on the
ground fora meat store, which lie will
erect at once and begin business.
Rushmore is located about ten miles
west Of Worthington, on the Worth
ington and Sioux Falls railroad, in the
heart Of i: fine farming country, and
cannot fail to become prosperous vii
lage. Mr.. Rushmore is i young man,
just fairly starting in life, and finds
himself already the proprietor of Il town
site, with town bearing Ills name, a
store Oh Ills hands capable of holding i
$4,000 to $4,000 stock of goods, and the
owner of lands III the vicinity. Surely
here is fair prospect for Il young man
of energy just from tile city. Isn't this
better than living east OH a salary?
We had the pleasure also of meeting
Mrs. Rushmore, Il city-bred lady, an &C
complislled singer and piano player,
who seems to enjoy ''roughing it'' as
much us her husband does. With three
small children and Il husband to man.
age, and with sometimes us many as 90
persons to provide for, she comes
through all with cheerful alacrity
that would 10 doubt astonish her
Brooklyn friends and Vassar school
mates. Probably she is aided by an
ADVANCE Cook Book and some work
OH Legerdemain.
This brief sketch of Rushmore will
be read Ivy hundreds at the East, (for
the ADVANCE has hundreds of readers
there, } and we can say to them it is no
fancy sketch. To the hundreds of
young men there, we say again, rs often
before: "Come west, young man, come
west; and instead Of growing up with
the country, take.a hand and make the
country grow up with you.''
THAT EXCURSION Superintendent
Lincoln WAS in town last evening, and
dropped in for a little talk about that
excursion to Sioux Falls. He informs
us that the announcement was prema-
ture, and that the Company stated from
the first that they could not run into
Wortlington and make the time. Also
that they informed the Sioux City par
ties that they could not run an excur-
sion train out unless they could have
100 passengers from Sioux City.
We are pleased to learn that there is
prospect Of an excursion soon, as the
Rock Rapids people want one, and ar
engagements will be made to cover the
whole line, leaving Wortllington in the
morning and returning ut any conve-
nient time. Tie fare for the round trip
will probably not he more than 50 from
Worthington and $l.50 from Adrian.
