A few new buildings have been erected, but the greatest amount of work done has been in repairing and adding new additions to dwellings, painting, etc. The new school house makes a fine appearance, and will be quite an ornament to that part of the city when completed, and no doubt but those living north of the C. B. & Q. track will soon be turning up their noses at the other part of the city over having a brand new, nobby school building, the Iowa University and the German college.

The ground is high and rolling, and commands a view west, north and east as far as the eye can reach. -- The woodlands along the banks of Big Creek north and west gives a wild romantic scene to lovers of nature, while eastward is beautiful prairie, reaching away in the dim distance, dotted over with handsome farm houses, orchards and artificial groves. ~~~~~ H.

As the wind was blowing quite strong, the party was of the opinion some pretty wild shooting would be done, as the birds would be very likely to dart downward the moment they were thrown from the trap, which a number of them did, especially the older birds. The following named gentlemen did the shooting, and their score out of fifteen birds each: J. F. Sargent - 10 Capt. Beckwith - 6 Joe. Bangham - 6 Evert Beckwith - 9 Frank Porter - 8 Dr. Pitcher - 10 J. F. Sargent and Dr. Pitcher having tied, took a shot each to decide the contest, which resulted in the Doctor’s favor, by him killing his bird, and Mr. Sargent missing. The last bird thrown from the trap for Mr. S. was the most difficult shot in the entire number, and not one expert in a thousand could have brought it ???. A number of ladies and gentlemen were on the ground to witness the shooting, and enjoyed the sport, but at the same time thought it rather cruel to shoot the innocent birds down in that manner for amusement. We must agree with the ladies that it did not look a very humane act on the part of the shootists, and are of the opinion that to use glass balls instead of innocent birds on such occasions as much or more skill can be shown, and would be altogether more pleasant to the feelings of spectators witnessing the contest. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Transcribed and contributed for Henry County IAGenWeb by Pat Ryan White, July, 2019. |
