In my rambles Through this coun-
ty, | visited the town OF Andrew,
being the given or Christian name
of the general aud statesman from
whom the county derived its name'
This place is situated on gentle
eninence, which makes it eonsplcu'
GUS in making the approach from
different directions. 1t is near the
centre of the county. The lands
surrounding area Iaptedto farming
and thickly interspcrsed with 'im'
Der, II large portion OF which Is not
valuable save for fire wood. The
soil is rather sandy, und reminds
me somewhat of Mississippi land.
The country is rough aud the roads
lifficult to travel-not much mud,
however. There is good stone quar-
ries near by, which furnish supe'
rior building stone, aud the prlnci.
bal buildings of the town are OF
: that material. Andrew has no rail-
road or stream near by. A daily
stage line carrying mail and pas
sencers connects Maquoketa with
Belleoue by way of Andrew. The
yood citizens of this little burg be-
leye in lynch law as we'll as our
Southern people. | was shown a
tree standing right in the heart OF
the town, on which three men had
. been banged. One was guilty OF
wife murder and the other two ic'
IS murder aud robbery. 1.ee thre'
scoundrels we're taken out OF Jal
by mob and publicly executed
So yoa will see Mississippi does no
stand alone in meeting out Justic'
to fienls like these that bit the dus
ut Andrew, in the State OF Iowa.
