No town on the line OF the Mime
apolis & St. Louis railroad in Iowa
shows a better growth in population
and industry than does Sheffield, in
the northern part Of Franklin county.
1t soon viii be the home OF three large
brick and tile making concerns and by
| reason of the peculiar clay strata there
ii is fast becoming an Industrial center.
Building has been going on at pace
that has startled the natives, and it
seems as tho every citizen has faith in
the towns future. Two concerns are
building factories that willgive the town
the appearance of a manufacturing
city. The Sheffield Brick and Tile
Company is constructing q new $780,
600 plant and work soon will begin on
plant owned by the Smith Brick and
Tile Company, to cost $a5o,000. The
business men of the town have great
faith in the industry and hence it IS
thought that with the ending of the
war the future has much prosperity in
store for the Franklin county town.
1t Is said by conservative business
men that a dozen or more dwelling
houses could not meet the demand
there.
Chaplin has good hotel, neatly fur
nlshed and In nice condition, standing
vacant, waiting for some family to oc-
cupy 1t and serve the travelling public.
Commercial men have to patronize the
stores for crackers and cheese and fruit
or go hungry. The town has an up
to date school building. good home
trade that gives the town prosperous
appearance. a good hotel keeper would
be helpful TO the community and to
the travellers who have to undergo long
waits between trains.
Rockwell. the first town on the N. &
st. l. in Csrro Gordo county. q town

with large bells in the centrs Of the
thoroughtares. Rockwell u a home
town and the fraternal spirit Is there
