The Iowa Volks Zeitung was first established at Lyons, by John Pin- gell in 1866. It has since been removed to this place, and is now edited and published by F. G. Pfeiffer & Co It has a large circulation both in the city and country.
RETROSPECTIVE.
In ten years Clinton increased from a village of fifteen hundred inhab- itants to a prond city of between eight and nine thousand. One of the largest lumber trades of the world has been built up here, and one which is comparatively in its infancy. Manufactures of every class, al- most, have sprung up. Many small retail establishments have increased their capacity, and are now doing a large jobbing business. Several large schools have been built, and churches have been erected. New railroads have been projected and are now in course of construction. The finest railroad bridge that spans the Father of Waters, has been thrown across this majestic stream at this point. A street railroad has been established, gas works put in, and water works erected. Magnifi- cent business blocks have been built, and palace-like establishments opened in them.
THE TWO CITIES COMBINED.
For the last few years the tendency of improvements in Lyons has been toward Clinton, while Clinton has been spreading out the new build- ings and improvements in the place reaching over toward its sister city, to join hands, as it were, in rivaling other river towns which have had many years the start of this new city.
Now the business centers are about one and a half miles apart, but the cities have so grown toward each other that the little corporation of Ring-

wood, which lies between them, is being rapidly overlapped, and the places are in reality one city. The interest of the places are one, and will ever continue to be so. A railroad project which benefits one city, benefits the other equally as much. Any other public ben- efit, which is intended for the good of either city, cannot fail to benefit the other. The two places may join together and build up a college at this point that might be an honor to this great State, yet one could not well do it alone, and should it be done by one, it could not be carried on without being a cause of direct interest to the other place. As an evi- dence of what might be done by the combination of Lyons and Clinton, we refer the reader to what has been done by a joint effort of the two places.
Lyons and Clinton joined in an effort to remove the county seat from De Witt to this place, and was decidedly successful. They joined their forces to build the Iowa Midland Railroad, and as a result the road is com- pleted to Maquoketa. They joined together to build a street railway, and within three months after the charter was obtained, the cars were run- ning between the two cities. Excursion parties which are gotten up by the parties of one town, would often fail, but by the co-operation of the other, they are always made a success.
The combined population of the two places is about thirteen thousand, which of itself forms a city with but few equals in the State. The manu- facturing interests are greater in the two places than any other city in the State, and the lumber manufacturing trade is greater than at any oth- er point in the world. By the combination of the two places, other great railroad projects may be made enduring realities, which neither city can accomplish alone. Surely no one can deny that the interests of both cities are closely allied, and that either city is working against its own direct interest to act independent of the other. Undoubtedly the two cit- will always co-operate on questions which seem of equal advantage to both, whether they are consolidated or not, and, as the years speed by, no power can hinder them from becoming more closely allied cach passing year.
Clinton and Lyons, as one, are recognized throughout the State as the most important point on the Mississippi, and but a short time will pass ere our city will rival that of any other river town. From its present proud pre-eminence as a manufacturing point, it is destined to grow stronger, and bid defiance to all rivals in that interest.
That Clinton and Lyons will become consolidated as one city, under one name, is as yet uncertain, but we think that a majority of the people in both towns are in favor of it. That result will be defeated only by the

old local prejudice that still exists on the part of those whose interests have conflicted, and who are so selfish and exchisive in their notions that that they cannot but eurse, within their souls, the fates which have built up a city at their very doors. This feeling exists, not only in one town, but in both ; but it is being rapidly drowned out by a strong popular sen- timent in favor of a more free interchange of trade, and of working for the interests of both places, when the benefits conferred apply alike to both places. An interchange of trade between the two places is not all that is necessary. The twin cities must become closer allied ; there must be a marriage ; a change of the name of one or the other, as well as a sin- gle corporation for both. Then the interest of one cannot in the least conflict with those of the other.
Great railroad projects are yet to be worked ont, which will be of di- rect interest to both places. Great manufacturing schemes are yet to be realized, and no person can look into the future ten years without seeing in imagination, a line of tall smoke staeks reaching along the river bank, from one town to the other, marking the long line of factories which shall have been built ere that time, and which shall employ two thousand work- men to operate the machinery, which shall be turning the monstrous wheels, and grinding out profits which shall be expended in building up this metropolis of Iowa.
One hundred thousand dollars, at least. is now paid out monthly in Clinton and Lyons by manufacturers and the railroad shops. Shall it be inade half a million in the next ten years? Can factories to that extent be made to pay here? These questions are merely absurd. There are woolen factories to be built; there are reaper factories to build, there are plow factories, and other implement factories to establish, and a thou- sand other departments of manufacture to be put in operation in this great city that is to be. These great results can be attained only by the joining together of the forces of both places. The question arises just here, is that result desirable to both places ? or are there those yet who had rather the two cities should again be wrapt up in their exclusive in- dividualism, than that such results should follow a union of the two cities.
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES.
The people of Clinton are justly proud of their Public Schools. From the autumn of 1860, when the distriet numbered four hundred and fifty pu- pils between the ages of five and twenty-one years, the number has con- stantly increased, until now the number cannot reach far short of eighteen hundred. Five thousand dollars in bonds were appropriated in March, 1860, for the purpose of erecting another building on the west side of De

Witt park. That, reader, was the commencement of the present mag- nificent brick building that now occupies that site.
Thirty-one teachers are now engaged in the schools, and have an at- tendance of about fourteen hundred pupils. Four buildings are employed to accommodate this army of children, and the probabilities are that the number will continue to increase from year to year, as the city increases in population.
THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Upon the projection of a railroad west, it was thought that a bridge at this point would be expedient at some future time, and the road was constructed with that view. When the road had been built as far west as Cedar Rapids, and traffic commenced, the building of the bridge was found to be absolutely necessary, and consequently steps were taken at once for its construction. Little Rock Island is situated in the Missis- sippi river at this point, the main channel of the stream passing it on the west side. It was deemed expedient to build that portion on the east side connecting with the road which passed up on the east side of the riv- er to Fulton, and east to Chicago.
CLINTON AND LYONS HORSE RAILROAD.
This important mode of travel between Clinton and Lyons, was pro- jected in August, 1869. The company had but fairly organized when work was commenced on the road, and by the 18th of November, the cars were running. It extends from the ferry landing in Lyons (a distance of three and three-fourths miles) to J. R. & A. Bather's nursery and flower garden. The road is in a very efficient state, under the superintendence of the energetic secretary and treasurer, L. T. Sloan.
GAS WORKS.
The Clinton Gas Light and Coke Company was organized August 3d, 1869, with a capital of $60,000.
During the year 1870 they constructed a gas house and works, at a cost of $55,000. The mains and pipes have been laid, lamp posts have been erected, and to-day, November 1st, 1876, we cheerfully record the fact that there are over eight miles of gas pipe laid in the city. Although many predicted that the enterprise would be a failure, it is now paying well, owing to the efficient management of the superintendent, Mr. O. Messer. Stock cannot be bought at par, while gas is furnished cheaper than in many other cities on the Up River. Mr. Messer is also superin- tendent of the Clinton Water Works Company, which have in operation already over eight miles of mains.

DES MOINES, SIQWA, Sept. 29th, 1875
Being in attendance at the Iowa State Fair one year ago, I witnessed the cure of several ladies and gentlemen almost instantaneously of Head- Ache and Neuralgia by the application of Dr Cram's Fluid Lightning. I bought a bottle, took it home with me, and gave it to a lady member of my family suffering very much with what is commonly called Sick-Head- ache. . One application cured her ahnost instantly. I gave it to several ladies suffering with the same complaint, and in every case relief came at-once.

EDITORIAL REVIEW.
PROMINENT MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS IN CLINTON CITY.
P. S. Towle.
Some of the old merchants of Clinton have maintained their commer- cial integrity, and. continued their business prosperously. Among such men may be classed, as one of the leading representatives, Mr. P. S. Towle, who by his honorable conduct and fair dealing while a resident of this city has gained the proud position of being the principal dry goods merchant. Ilis mammoth establishment, extending from Second street to Fifth avenue, is fully stocked with a new and varied assortment of Fashionable Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Cloaks, Furs and Ladies' Suits. Mr. Towle, buying direct for eash from the eastern markets, is thus en- abled to undersell all competitors.
