profitable field in Big Stone City.
CHURCHES.
Next in order come the different
religious denominations which we find
here for the spiritual good OF this
happy family. We use the word fam
ily'' as applied to a city advlsably.
As the members Of a family are band
ed together by the ties Of kindred, love
and affection, so the citizens OF a town
are but members Of a large family
banded together by similarities of mu-
tual interest and sympathy.
Big Stone City seems inspired with
the same ambition spiritually as in
educational matters. In fact, it is a
CITY Of churches. We find here we'll
represented Methodist Episcopal, Ger
mar Evangelical, Lutheran, Catholic
and the United Evangelical, German
Baptist.
PUBLIC SCHOOL.

of all national greatness We find here
in all its glory. Big Stone City can
boast Of having the largest and best
school building in the county. 1t was
erected at a cost of $4,000, is we'll

proud of her schools and her educa.

list stands Prof. Riggle, who claims
Iowa as his native state. After re.
ceiving a common school education,
he entered the high school at Knox
Vile. Iowa, where he graduated, and
