Canton, as stated, is wideawake
| town, bright and thrifty The amount of
shipping done is simply immense, when
compared with older towns in the neigh
borhood and we venture the assertion
| that there is no point on this railroad with
the same population which transacts an
| equal amount Of business in the course of
the year. Our merchants do an immense
amount OF business yearly.
The town is incorporated and the city
officers are filled by business men and old
settlers, who labor for the interests of the
town Canton has good sidewalks The
courthouse in the public square, is
to be fenced in and seeded to grass and
| trees set out this spring, and is within five
minutes walk from either the freight or
passenger depot. 1t has needs for vast
amount of side tracks, owing to the i'm
mense amount of business done, as it is a
railroad center, and has use for train
dispatcher, which Office is filled by Mr. L.
Hensley. Charley Goetz is the freight
agent The question of building $4,000
school house is being agitated, as the
| needs for one is urgent, the present taelli-
| ties being inadequate. The town is heal
| thy and pleasantly located The country
roads leading to town are kept in good re-
pair and the streams bridged The fnan-
cial condition Of the town IS good and the
city 8 credit is kept at par. There are to
this year by the city council As will be
seen our people have their churches and
can worship to the dictates of their own
conscience. The society is of the best and
| the several lodges are in hourishing condi-
| tions. Canton is to have the county fair
this coming September the date having
been fixed as the 10Th, goth and 2lst.
The premiums are liberal The society
has purchased the grounds, which are
| fenced and the necessary buildings will be
completed in time. o. D. Hinkley is
president and G. J. Skinner, is secretary.
The Messrs Gale and Ward are now at
work upon brick block adjoining their
bank, 45x70feet, twostories high, elegantly
finished, etc The Messrs Hood, Madole
Fosdick, Woerz, Corson, Bedford, Thor
son & Co., 7. P. Thompson & Co,
Taylor, Russell & CO., Southland. and
| others, have plans under consideration for
the erection OF fine brick buildings Can
ton is prosperous and the citizens have
faith in the future.
As stated the rush to this section of
country is so great that no one business
is overtlone The country is settling UP
very fast. The Old settlers have means
and the demand for more business houses
in our midst is on the increase There is
room for more professions, Of all kinds.
With the contemplated Improvement of
the Sioux river water power woolen mills
paper mills, Touring mills. etc, could be
erected l everything the farmer raises IN
