AT ATLANTIC , I'lio Olnervutloim of "Tlio Hoc" in ( tint lilxoly Cilj. : Jorro | > oiulonco of Tin : Uu : . ATLANTIC' , Iowa , December 10. This 8 n tliriving city of the second cliws , containing about 5,000 inhabitants , anil ituntcd in tlio northwest cot nor of Cass county , of which it is tlmsoiU of govern- uotit. lioing situated on the main line of tlio 'Groat Hock Island Kouto"tho Rhippinj ; 'acilitica are excellent. It is distant jcarly 7i > miles directly east of Council Hull's , nnd lionco ia a little west of the 'divide. " From this point n branch of ho Chicago , Uock Island I'ncillc road runs north to Audubon , S.'i miles distant , nnd ono south to Griawohl , 1C miles dig' .ant. .ant.Tho The city dates its existence from the advent of the railroad , boinij first laid out in 1808. Tlio city is growing rapidly in population nnd wealth. The public en terprises nro of the most subatan- tial , most tasty , nnd meritorious kind. Prominent among them is the now Cass county court houao hns just been completed at n cost of nearly § 100,000 , and is a model of beauty in structure and architecture , equalled by only i\ few of the llawkoyo county buildings. The opera house is also a modul one in its whole interior airangcmont. The city 'ias , at present , a homo troupe , which , : > lays twice each week , and is liberally iupportod. The public schools of At- antic nro fully abreast with the times , iul amply provided for. Wight teachers arc emploped , who nro doing a good work in the education of the young. Besides the public school system , the educational interests are further looked after by n fine business college , in which numbers of the young men and women of this locality receive the business touches of their education. The church icoplp are represented by a number of , ho different organizations , each , I bc- "iovc , having a liberal follow- ng. Tlio fraternal organizations lave strong memberships in a varied number of different societies , rho city is lighted by gaa , and supplied with excellent and abundant water of the .nircst kind. The city is included in the [ owa Telephone company's list , which ; ivea it n largo connection with other places in this part of the state. The lire iompany is composed of a largo member ship , and is ono of the swiftest in the stato. It has nt different tournaments carried nway the bolt of championship. The private interests are various , prominent among which I mention n argo packing establishment , brewery , foundry , distillery , flour mills , soap fac tory , thrco banks , several hotels nnd boarding houses , five newspapers four weekly nnd ono daily and weekly and a laigo number of mercantile establish ments , some of which are metropolitan in the amount of stock carried. FKKD. Mrs. Ijnngtry , And other famous women have won a reputa tion for facial beauty. A fine complexion makes ono handsome , ovou though the face if not of perfect mould. Jtniilok lllood Hitters act directly upon the circulation , mid BO give the skin a clearness and mnootlmosa otherwise mi attainable. A SMALL BLAZE , [ t Serves to Show tlio Nonsense ol on tlio 1'rcaout Fire Alarm. Tin : BKU has tia.o nnd again called at tention to the fact that the present lire alarm is worse than none , nnd that while waiting for a bettor ono , the city had bettor do nway altogether with this one and go back to the old way of depending on the yells on the street for the guidance of the department. Yesterday morning the so-called alarm sounded , at ono house giving box lit , at thu other 28 and ngair No. ( i , nnd in response ono steamer wenl [ lying in ono direction , the othoi in an opposite direction , and the hook nnd ladder truck } oil'on a tnngon. Aftorilying | about fora while it was learned od that the fire wan in a little Hlmntj west of the Milwaukee & St. Paul froigh house , nnd it wna of course burned down before the department could find out ovoi whcio lire was. The loss vraa not grca and perhaps cauld not have buon avert cd anyway , but the same trouble is liabh to occur nnd mislcaad the department while the lire is getting a strong hold 01 more valuable property.
