IT IS A THIUFTY PLACI3.
Shenandoah Is a city of pleasant homes
well tilmded streets and thriving buslnes
hou es. The whole town lias n well Icep
and prosperous appearance , mid no on" neec
to be told that It li.u ) cant nued to gro\
steadily even during the dull times of th
two years past. A large number of fine
new residences have bcsti completed th
past > cur , besides fonio large/ buildings , nucl
as the armory of tlio local company of th"
Iowa National Guard. The Iccal statisticians
flguro an Increase of fiOO in population fo
the year. The city depends for Its supper
upon the surrounding country , which Is
rightly considered one of the richest agrlcul
tural sections of the state. Any number o
elegant resldcncco ara pointed out as the
homes of retlied farmers who have made
their money out of the land.
After viewing the town the excursionists
