Progress in
[Under this title we give a
series of short sketches, descriptive of the time of immigration of each settler
in the county, with amount of improvement, present and future prospects; crops raised in 1878; grain sown last
Fall, &c. Also, sketches of
manufacturing and business interests.
Correspondence is solicited from all interested in the growth and prosperity
of our county. We would suggest to
our readers that they cut out and preserve,in scrap
books these sketches; as they will doubtless find them of more interest in the
future than at this time].
