bered there as Miss Martha TEGLAND. The very large attendance at her funeral attests the regard in which she was held by this community, and sympathy with the bereaved husband and his motherless little flock.—(Jan. 31, 1883.)
At Willow Grove, five miles southeast, the lare congregation of Rev. Evans was swelled by a goodly number of' our people; and, after the service, visiting friends in the party were treated to a view of that interesting wonder, the Watkins flowing well, from which pours out unceasingly a stream sufficient to run a great, old-fashioned mill.—(Story City, Jan. 31, 1883.)
STORY CITY.
Bad going has checked business somewhat, but it is the general verdict that the past season has developed far more business than was anticipated.

The collection comprised a great variety of articles, ranging from the cake and cushion and shingle boat manufactured by the least of the flock, to the elaborate crochet and needle work and nice pieces of cabinet work by the older pupils. An article belonging to the last mentioned class was fashioned from thirty-six different kinds of wood, nearly all of which are native to this region. Saturday evening brought a crowd of visitors. They were entertained with good music by Miss Richards, the band and' the glee club, and by several interesting addresses. Prof. Leighton's speech was an expression of thanks to patrons and pupils; Capt. Wier called to mind the growth of educational advantages since his early days in a log school house; Dr. Allen encouraged the teachers with appreciative words; and Mr. Evans noted some widely differing sources of education and reminded that the wholesome lessons' of the good school displace the pernicious influences of the street.—(Story City, March 7, 1883.)

STORY CITY, March 6, 1883.
While through your columns most of the young cities of the state have begged space to lend their virtues, Story City has stood back, carefully noting the prosperity of others and comparing their advantages with those of our owm. We now beg space to say that we have two railroads.—one the Central of Iowa, terminating here,—several finely stocked stores, bank, steam grist mill and about 700 inhabitants.
We particularly pride ourselves in our artesian wells, one in the suburbs of the town, having power to throw a stream through an
