The Holt County sentinel., 1892-07-29
At st. Joseph.


and the season OF conventions, the July
meeting of Missouri Republican editors,
was lightly attended Yet goodly num-
ber was present and the conference con-
sidered many weighty matters which
will enter into their journalistic duties
for the next four months. The editors
we're most cordially received, and ruyaliy
cared for at S. Joseph. No assemblage
can ever meet IN that queenly city with
out having an impression that will abide
in the memory Of its members. The city
that receives body o. editors, with open
hospitality Of such lis st. Joseph is mis-
trcss. Justly merits kind words from the
various organs represented there. Such
a duty and tender courtesy should come
from an unstInted anh generous hand.
No stranger or guest chat falls into the
hands of her enterpriSing, and generous
citizens, will fail to carry away pleasant
recollcctiOns. st. Joseph Is one Of the
most substantial and prosperous cities IN
the Mississippi valley. She is situated
IN the heart of most fertile district and
the supply center for vast number of
smaller cities and towns, situated in
northwest Mis-. Ouri, ms we'll as large por
tIons of Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa.
Her jobbing business is enormous, far IN
excess of any city west of st. Louis. She
is mistress OF the commercial field, but
PLAYS her part with superb mOdesty aud
becoming dignity. Her great trade, local
and extra local. is carried on without
much noise, or INK talk. She enj joys an
advantage Of locality and accessibility
that will ever insure her a large and
prosperous trade. Her jobbing business
Is phenomenal and her wholesale houses
freighted with the richest variety of
every article known to the market, with
quantity. quality and prices that make
her "A dangerous rival OF any city in the
land. Her vast trade gives her metro
pnlitan air. The vast business houses,
sky srrapers. are models OF beauty and
wealth. The manufacturing uf textiles
is immense. Thousands of young men
aud women find profitable and pleasant
emplovment IN her establishments, and
when the noon and evening hours come
and labor rests for the DAY. the thrOngs
that Cnliven her streets. look like = resist
less tide of humanity broke loose. st.
Joseph needs more factories OF heavier
production such as machinery, fUrni-
ture. vehicles. Some Of these enter
prises have already started, and more
will surely come. Already the meat
packing business is assuming gigantic
PROPORTIONS. These branches OF industry
once established in 81. Joseph, the vast
territory of which size is the center, will
feel mighty benefit "a new impulse OF
business energy will be impaired -
every species of industry. This is the
reason that every town and hamlet, and
newspaper that look Mt St. Joseph as its
metropolis, feels warm interest IN her
success and prosperity. But st. jUseph,
O: her than business phases, socially,
she stands at the head of the column.
The vast thor0ughfares through which
glide giidcd gayety lmpresses one with
the wealth aud luxury OF her citizens.
With her streets suh-taatiaily paved and
clean. stretching away throughout the
city, she takes high rank among the
I pleasure resorts of the land. One can
not ride along her avenues without Il
! conviction that her citizens are most
! happy and contented. Her magnificent
| homes, vast plies of mechanic art and
| beauty, stand an unmistakabale evidence
! Of her wealth and taste. Superb resi-
