REMARKS: The same may be said of Audubon County that has been said of Shelby. It formed no local cause for disease of epedemic here, her (??) lands, fuse running water with the fine braching wind, which no one knows how to appreciate until he meets the western frontier, all contribute to render this locality healthy to man and beast, freed from that exposure and ni?? manner of life manevolent to all nicely sitting countries and I think it may be confidently asserted that no fraction(?) of the Union is more healthy than the Western fraction(?) of Iowa. The water in this county is occasionally soft. There has been no stone nor stone coal formed here. It is believed both exist. There are no minerals or saline. Springs discovered as get apple, cherry, plum, currants, grapes, etc., (Over) grow finely here, the winters are too cold for the beasts.
