The Lake Crystal Union comes
out this week with writeup of the
beautiful village between the lakes.
The building Improvements foot up
to over 100000, which is an excellent
showing. In enumerating the towns
advantages, the paper says: sour
lumber and coal dealers are rushed,
our merchants are crowded from
morning until night, waiting upon
their customers. The many thou
sands of pounds of stock, poultry,
butter, cheese, and farm products of
all kinds that are marketed here is
the wonder of the age. We have 10
passenger trains per day, and some
days as high as 40 freight trains. We
are the terminus of line of road run
ing through Iowa from Kansas City.
We are surrounded by belts of natur-
al timber, oak, hard and soft maple,
Eastwood and various other kinds: our
people, as rule, are hospitable; we
have seven churches, an elegant
graded school, &C., &c. What we
want is manufacturing.
