But tbe Drnwa-Cridcr block is one of
tb largest and moot substantial hiick
buildings in the City Everybody in
Polk oouuty knows W. C. Brown, whose
life and forluiies have been identified
with this country every since the early
pioneer day. We can remember when
Mr. Brown was comparatively a poor
man, but be Is today one of Polk coun
ty' raost wealthy mid ulwtantiat citi
xen. He I pre-eminently a aelf-mnde
man. aud by bird physical and still hard
er mental toil has made bis way from
poverty to comparative opulence. Mr,
I), has upon one or two occasion re pre
sauted Polk oounty iu the balls of the
State legislature, mid he invariably dis
charged hia official duties with honor to
himself aud to the satisfaction of his cm
stituent. The La Creole Academy is
ue-d and tubslnutial structure, or will be
when completed. The work on this build
ing has progressed very slowly, because
of the diftlculty in procuring building
material. Among other buildings we
ouly have lima tu mention, in passing, is
tbe large hotel, the City Hall, district
school bmldiiig.aiid the uew M.E.church.
These buildings present a very creditable
Appearance, and bespeak energy and
thrift ou the part ot t he people of Dnllus.
We also nolioed, a number ot large , and
neatly finished residences, nnd n general
air of thrift about the city, not at all ob
servable iu many t twin of more preten
tion, but really tuns active growth,
We lire glad to see oiir sister city mov
ing along so smoothly, for what is a 'a-ne
lit to one part of the oounty is of mutual
help to all. Polk omiuty is geographi
cally nnd onmuHreialy so situated that
It oannot grow in segments, one locality
prosper nud an other stand Htill.or deter

the whole along 'he line ot advancement;
tbo development is upon I uncons and gen
eral, not sporndic nnd isolated. And it i
only men of narrow views and nclf inter
ested nnd prejudiced motivea who will
seek to sow the needs of discord where
tlie spirit of nmily und reciprocal inter

Tbe mutual inlurcMls of both Dallas and
Independence a.e m the direction of u
bcttcnindnrstiiiidiug, and a more concil
iatory fnollu toward each other. And
we believe that the heart of the great

in sympathy with the iihovo sentiment,
