HrSI anu is noW fHe largest reSlueuce portiou
of Ipswich. Besides this, Hubbard's addition,
also south of the track; Davis east
and Days west of the original town
site, have been plated, and lots are selling
rapidly in all of them. Bolds and Turner's
north will make another beautiful place for
residences.
Ipswich draws trade the greatest distance
of any town in the territory. She draws
trade distance of one hundred miles west,
south and north, and merchants have all had
good trade this fall and winter, notwith-
standing the closeness of the times.
At the last session of the district court in
Brown county, Judge Smith ordered new
judicial subdivision EN- bracing the counties of
Edmunds, Mcpherson, Campbell and Wal
worth, and Edmunds being the senior, Ip-
switch was designated as the place for holding
court. The first term will be held next May
or June.
COUNTY SEAT.
At the last general election Ipswich was
made the permanent county seat of Edmunds
county by big vote, thereby not leaving
chance for county seat war.
COW BOYS AND OUTLAWS.
Notwithstanding Ipswich is frontier town
it is not a rough and bosterous place, which
characterzes many frontier towns, but is
quiet and orderly place.
ARTEsIAN WELL.
Artesian wells seem to be the best method
for obtaining water supply sufficient for
fire purposes and for general use, so Ipswich
is to have one. 1t is already down 500 feet,
will be owned by the city, and when com
pleted will furnish water to all parts of the
city.
SIDEWALKS.
There is not town in Central Dakota
that has sidewalks in as fine shape as Ipswich.
She has already three miles and half. On
Main street they are made of two inch plank,
ten feet wide, and four and six feet in resi-
dence portion, with good, wide crossings at
every corner, all at an established grade.
Main and Fourth streets are graded to an
established grade and in the spring the bal
ance of the streets will be graded.
ROLLER MILL.
| Subscriptions are being rapidly taken for
the building of one hundred barrel capa-
city Touring mill. 1t will be ready for the
1885 crop.
BOARD OF TRADE.
Ipswich is not behind many of her larger
sister towns in this respect, but she also has
her board of trade with L. A. Burke as presi-
dent, and E. c. Brown, corresponding Sec
| rotary.
| Tri-weekly stages run from Ipswich north
| west TO La Grace, west to LIE Bean, and
southeast to Worthwhile, supplying all inter
mediate points. A petition has also
been sent in to establish stage line run
ming north and south TO Leola and Kato.
There is a tract of land eight townships
long in range 66, lying between Edmunds,
Mcpherson and Brown counties, that has
never been organized into county, and in
all probability it will be admitted to Edmunds
and Mcpherson, where it certainly belongs.
Ipswich has splendid literary club, and
have some very exciting debates. l.. A.
Burke, president, Mrs. C. L. Pratt, secre-
| tary.
Large and well selected fair grounds near
the city, with fine half mile track, is an
other improvement.

business. houses public institutions and pro-
fessional firms of Ipswich. will now give
list of them, and when the reader stops to
think that Ipswich is but about fourteen
months old they will wonder at its marvel
Gus growth.
