ATLANTIC. A thriving and rapidly increasing city on th eeast Nichnabotna [sic Nishnabotna] river, from which power is derived, in the northwestern part of Cass county, of which it is the judicial seat, and on the main line of the C., R. I. & P. Ry. A branch runs to Audubon, 25 miles north, and to Griswold, 16 miles south, and a new road is now in course of construction, called the Kansas City, Atlantic, and Northern, which will cross the Rock Island at Atlantic, running north and south. It is distant from Council Bluffs 62 miles northeast, from Des Moines 82 southwest, from St. Louis, Mo., 348, and from Chicago, Ill., 426. First settled in 1868, it was incorporated as a town the following year, and as a city of the second class in 1878. It now contains a large distillery, a brewery, a pork packing establishment, a foundry, flouring mills, rendering works, planing mills, a soap factory, 8 banks, excellent public schools, 8 churches, representing the Catholic, Presbyterian, United Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Congregational, German and Swedish Lutheran denominations. A regularly organized, efficient and well equipped fire department, water works, on the Holly system, erected at a cost of $70,000, gas works, a new court house, a number of handsome and substantial business blocks, and several elegant private residences. The city is growing rapidly, buildings are going up in all parts, the price of real estate is steadily increasing, and it is certain that the future of Atlantic will be a great one, and that this city will some day rank among the great cities of the Hawkeye State. The press is represented by the Telegraph, (daily and weekly, Rep.), the Cass County Democrat, (Dem.), and the Messenger, (weekly, Rep.), all ably edited and popular sheets. Improved land in the vicinity is worth from $80 to $50 per acre. No bonded indebtedness. Shipments, grain, live stock, pork and alcohol. Telephone, Exchange. Tel., W. U. Exp., U. S.

THE ADVOCATE is an eight-column quarto, printed on good paper, with large, open-faced type. It was established February 18, 1880, and has already a widespread circulation, being a weekly visitor in almost every state in the Union. Griswold, the place of publication, is a booming town, started in this unsurpassed Nishnabotna Valley, January 1, 1880, and surrounded with the finest agricultural and stock-raising country in the West, and has received the merited title of "GARDEN SPOT OF THE WEST." Griswold is also the terminus of Iowa's two great railroad corporations, the C., B. & Q., and the C., R. I. & P., thus giving us better shipping facilities than any other city within an area of fifty miles. THE ADVOCATE is the only paper published in this beautiful young city, and has no competition withan an area of fifteen miles, thus making it an advertising medium second to none in Western Iowa. The water advantages that Griswold has for manufactures are the best than can be found along the Nishnabotna River. TERMS: $1.25 per Year in Advance. All business wil receive prompt and strict attention. Address all mail, D. H. SCOTT, PUBLISHER, "ADVOCATE," CASS CO., IOWA.
