We were pleased last week to make
the acquaintance of James Costigan,
who will soon be resident of this Vi
cinity. He has been living near Cres-
co in Howard county for the past
twenty years, but last spring purchased
the Beard farm on Washington Prairie
in Winneshiek county. eleven miles
west of Waukon, and will move onto it
the coming first of March. The farm
comprises 800 acres and the price paid
was $25,OOO. Mr.. Costigan has one of
the best farms of its size in the state
of Iowa, and as he has plenty of help
in family of sons, he will undoubtedly
soon be one of the most prosperous
farmers in this section. He is a we'll
posted, intelligent gentleman and we
expect to meet him again as, although
there are nearer market towns, he will
likely give Waukon a good share of his
business. W Waukon Journal.
