A Fine Residence

The work on the new residence of
MIR. l. G. Comfort, in the village of
Cobb, this county, is about complet-
ed. The building is a two-story
frame structure with cupola. The
best material to be obtained has
been used in its construction. The
outside of the building presents a
fine pleasing appearance, and the
interior is finished in the richest and
best possible manner. The wood
work, with the exception Of carvings
and mouldings, was done by James
Penhallegon of this city, and the
painting by ]. P. Hawkins. No
cost has been spared in erecting
and finishing this model home.
The large parlors are painted and
decorated in style that that does
credit to the artist. The building is
situated Just west of the business por-
ton of the.village. From the cupola
the country can be viewed for miles
and miles around. On the west and
south side the Platte Mounds rises
grandly to view and far to the north
east can be seen the West Blue
Mound and the country near the
capital city, and an excellent view
is afforded of the prairie farms and
homes of Eden, and neighboring
towns. Mr.. and Mrs. Comfort have
retired to this home after an active
and successful life of very many
years on the farm, and they well
merit exemption from further bust
ness cares and complete enjoyment
of future years.
