There is no city on the river, from
st. Louis to New Orleans, that pre-
sents as an attractive appearance to
persons approaching it OF a steamboat
as does Cape Girardeau-mOst other
towns have a lot of rickty, tumble
down buildings along the levee, which
our city has not-and this creates a
favorable impression on the mind,
which is strengthened by the grand
and magnificent view of our city park
from the river landing. In fact, APP
proach u city by any means or from
any direction and the first view OF it
is a favorable one, creating the i'm
preston that our people love beauti-
full homes and home .adornments, and
all that goes to make home comforta-
BILE and pleasant, and the occupants
happy and contented. No town of its
size shows as much evidence of the
spirit of living to enjoy life and hav-
ing others enjoy it. While our resi-
dences and business houses bear the
impress of substantial wealth, they
also bear evidence hat there is no
selfish, sordid spirit here.
