stores, streets / cut out and graded and
a fine crystal spring that will supply a
city twice the size with water. So the
people who purchase lots and locate at
this growing city will always have plen
ty of the very best to drink.
There will soon be a large school
building and church erected, anti ar
rangements are being made to start up
ral manufacturing enterprises. They
! have a fine brick yard near by, and will
j be able to furnish to those building the
I cheapest and best brick of any city in
