minds OF u people, and every town OF
village in the county lie manifesting az
activity, not noticeable a few days since,
when the soil was dry and psrched, and
the air was full Of binding dust.

Blue Hill is the next largest town in
size in the county, and owing to the ex.
cellent agricultural country which sur.
rounds it, il is a very substantial and
progressive place. Quite a large and
prosperous foreign element live in and
near Blue Hill, most OF whom are Ger.
mans. AS a rule these citizens are IN
good financial circumstances, and many
OF them are wealthy. Blue hill has a
large creamery owned and operated by
Ed Mcbride, a prominent citizen OF
that town. 1t also has a good system Of
water works, many prosperous business
houses. a newspaper, two banks, several
churches, a magnificent school building.

thoroughbred stock at that place, and
his choice hogs and cattle are purchased
by men from all parts Of the state. S.

in fine bred stock. Blue Hills present

no means booming, it is an active
