And still it rainf. X. 1II0ATTIE. To those who first settled in Beat-tie, its substantial condition to-day and the rapid improvement of the country around it, must indeed be most satisfactory. In the spring of 1871 the town-site and the country for miles a-round was unimproved prairie, what little settlamcnt there was being confined to the Vermillion river and its tributaries; while the early settlement of the town was not as harmonious as might be.

In this they were only the cuunt-erpart of all new settlements in the west; peopled by sturdy, self-relyant men who had convictions and manliness fo advocate them. This, however, proved beneficial rather than injurious to the town and its permanent growth, for, as each individual was compelled to respect the rignts of his neighbor and the community in general, it made them more careful of their conduct and as a result, it is safe to say, there is not a more orderly and united community in the county than the citizens of Beattie, at the present time. In the month of April, 1871, the depot and the section house was completed and at that time comprised all there was of Beattie. Uncle George Sweet and his esteemable lady kept the station house and fur-excellent fare. It was truthfully said of them, th they kept the best station house on the road, between St Jo.

and Marysville. All admit tejl that uncle George's meals were good, but his house being too small, he could not furnish sleeping accommodation. About the middle of April John McCoy came and took charge of the debot and was du installed as the railroad company's agent. There being very little business done here then, there was plenty of room in the depot and John invited the boys to come in and take quarters with him. Bunks were soon constructed end furnished with gunny sacks filled with Btrnw.

which the boys enjoy ed as well as if they were lorths in a palace car. From March until about the middle of Juno tho station house and depot furnished accommodations for the entire population and also the trancient custom. John W. Watkins was the first to enst'isro in business in the town. On the fourteenth of May he brought on a small stock of lumber ami building material and together with his brother-in-law, Frank Majors, continued to carry on the business until the latter part of tho summer, when M.

Majors soid out his interest to Mr. Watkins and went east and has never since returned to Beattie. Frank was a good, whole-souled, clever fellow, a general favorite with the boys and his leaving was deeply regretted by all. Mr. continued tho business until about tha ninth of November following, when he turned over his stock of lumber to Messrs.

Waterman and Bernard of St Jo. and returned east to look after hirf interest there uud his family who had not yet come west lie ugain returned to Beattie Hawk Wm.
