Keokuk is the fourth pork-packing point in the Union, and controls the pork market for a large part of Iowa, northern Missouri and adjacent parts of Illinois. Its large establishments, in extent and working capacity equal, if indeed they do not surpass those of St. Louis and Cincinnati. The packers are : Patterson & Timberman, who have been established since 1848; Godman & Bro., who have one of the finest houses in the country ; Ruddick, Kiser & Co., who pack from 20 to 25 thousand per season ; and several others.
The largest wholesale and jobbing business is done here of any city in Iowa. In groceries and dry goods it sales are immense. It is a con- venient and desirable point for interior dealers.
The educational facilities of Keokuk will compare favorably with any city in the State; of this however we shall speak in another place.
The city is well lighted with gas, from the excellent works, now own- ed by Judge Mooar. These works were built by Edward Kilbourne, Esq., one of our oldest, most popular and enterprising citizens and busi- ness men, in 1855, and were commenced and completed we believe in less than 100 days, showing at once his energy and perseverance ; be- sides accomplishing, what had never been accomplished before or since in this country, viz : the erection of such large and well appointed works in so short a space of time. Within the past few years, many large and magnificent business blocks, halls, and residences have been erected.
The Opera House built by Patrick Gibbons, at a cost of 80 thousand dollars, is a large and well arranged one, and capable of seating 1000 persons. It is situated centrally corner Main and Sixth streets, and is rented by the proprietor at reasonable rates.
The Keokuk Library association is one of the most useful and credit- able institutions in the city. For years it has diffused its benefits among all classes. The most intelligent, energetic and public spirited citizens have always been foremost in its management, as well as the leading business men of the city. It is now one of the permanent institutions of the city, and is a favorite resort for the citizens, and is constantly thronged by seekers of knowledge and improvement.
Keokuk is now busily engaged in manufacturing agricultural imple- ments, steam engines, sash, doors, blinds, stoves, plows, carriages, wagons, furniture, &c. There are a number of other similar enterprises to the above, on foot at this writing, which will, no doubt, prove profit- able investments to the parties concerned, as well as the citizens gener- ally.

HOLLAND'S KEOKUK CITY DIRECTORY.
The lumber interest of the city although only introduced comparative- ly speaking a short time ago, has assumed large and important pro- portions. The sales amounting to millions of feet annually. The most prominent wholesale and jobbing business are in groceries, dry goods, drugs and medicines, hardware, boots and shoes, clothing, butter and eggs, books and stationery, wines and liquors, crockery and furniture.
To conclude our brief sketch, it is only necessary to indulge in a passing allusion to the present of the city and its prospects for future prosperity. Its situation is second to none and commands the trade of a region richly blessed by nature, with all the resources of climate, and a soil of inexhaustable, and as yet, almost undeveloped fertility. Placed upon railroads diverging in all directions, a vast field is opened to the activity and industry of her people. Further than this, she possesses in the enterprise and public spirit of her citizens and business men of all classes, a fund of never failing strength and resources, upon which to draw for her future advancement in all that constitutes the honor and prosperity of a community. The business of the city is remarkably flourishing, and will compare favorably with that of any place of equal size in the Union. The fine business blocks, on the principal business streets, are an honor to the city, and some of them hardly to be excelled even in much larger places. The hotel accommodation of the city, is good, and goes far toward making it attractive to strangers and others, who " love to take their ease at their Inn." In a word for an enter- prising, go-ahead city, combining the best facilities for business with all the refinements and comforts of a pleasant home, commend us to Keokuk.
For further notices of some of the oldest, most prominent and success- ful business establishments and manufactories, we refer our readers to our editorial review.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
At no other time in the history of our city has there been so much interest manifested by the citizens, in our public schools, as at present. A course of study has been adopted and published by the Board of Ed- ucation embracing nine different grades in the District Schools, and four in the High School, and all of our schools have been thoroughly graded npon this outline of study.
The first public school building was erected in 1853, known as the Central School building, at a cost of about $25,000, and seating 500 pupils. The high school is taught in the third story of this building, and the pupils of the first ward in the first and second. This was the only building ·owned by the city for school purposes until 1863, when the Wells school building was erected for the accommodation of pupils in the second ward. This building, grounds and furniture, cost about $20,000, and will accommodate comfortably 375 pupils.
Two years after this, the Carey building was erected for the pupils of the Fourth Ward, costing, grounds, furniture, out houses, &c., about $20,000, seating 400 pupils.

HOLLAND'S KEOKUK CITY DIRECTORY.
Two years after this the Torrense building, (named after the lamented Col. Wm. Torrense, and first superintendent of public schools of this city,) was erected, costing, grounds, furnaces, furniture, &c., about $23,000, and will seat 400 pupils.
In 1868 a frame building two stories high, with four rooms, each ca- pable of holding 75 pupils was built for the accommodation of the colored children in this city, costing, grounds, &c., about $7,000. The city also owns a small building in the suburbs, worth about $700.
In some six years the city has provided four new school buildings at a cost of about $70,000, seating comfortably 1500 pupils.
The buildings now owned by the city for school purposes afford com- fortable accommodation for about 2000 pupils. The number of persons of school age in this city, is about 5000. The whole number of pupils enrolled in all the schools for the year ending May 5th, 1870, was 2051, and the daily average attendance 1573. The number of pupils enrolled at the close of the month ending September 29th, 1868, was 1334, and at the close of the month ending September 27th, 1870, 1874, showing an increase of 540 children in two years. Total enroll- ment for the month ending November 25th, 1870, 2098. Number be- longing during the month 1709.
The city owns four large buildings and ten small ones, costing the aggregate some $95,000, and worth now at least $130,000.

FIRE DEPARMENT.
Keokuk may well claim the honor of being one of the very few populous inland cities, that has a creditable volunteer fire department. The engineers are paid a nominal salary, and each company allowed 200 dollars a year for incidental expenses, except the above, the depart- ment has no appropriation, no subsidies, save the various machines and their appliances. The members as a general thing securing their own fund and procuring their own uniforms ; not that the city authorities decline or refuse aid, but because of the disposition on the part of or- ganizations to maintain themselves. This does not detract in the least from the efficiency of the department, but rather adds to that strength which always accompanies self-reliance. Mr. W. B. Miller is the popular chief engineer, and William Holt, assistant. A majority of the members of the different companies, are old in the service, are well officered, and still maintain a regular system of drill and practice. There are five companies, two steamer, two hand engines, and one hook and ladder.
THE YOUNG AMERICA COMPANY. was organized in 1856, and has 80 members. This company and apparatus have acquired an enviable reputation at home and abroad.
ROLLA COMPANY, was organized in 1860, and numbers seventy members, as firemen they keep their rivals constantly nerved up to the highest exertion, and the continual contest for superiority at fires, puts both to the severest test of strength, both of machines and men.
THE UNION NO. 3. COMPANY, was organized about 8 years ago, and also numbers 70 efficient and deserving members. This organiz- ation do credit to themselves and the city in which they serve.

GATE CITY, NO. 4 COMPANY, was organized last year (1870), and has for its president, Mr. William Woolley, an old and respected citizen, and hard worker, with about 50 other members, who are determin- ed to vie with and if possible out-do the other companies.
HOOK AND LADDER, TRUCK LAFAYETTE, is a valuable auxilliary to the above companies, and its members render good services when needed, and have received deserved praise from citizens generally. The city has two handsome buildings for the accommodation of the engines, &c., which reflect credit upon the liberality of the city authorities.

CEMETERIES.
THE OAKLAND CEMETERY is located cor of 18th and Carroll streets. The site chosen is a beautiful one, and contains about 40 acres. Its rolling ground is pleasing, and is interspersed with a natural growth of trees and shrubs, making its landscape beauty unsurpassed for the purpose designed. It is a beautiful retreat, well adapted as a sacred spot for the reception of the departed, where monuments to their mem- ory are preserved and cherished as a solace to the living. Many mon- uments and other valuable improvements are being made, which add beauty to and adorn the grounds, making it really the city of the dead.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC GROUNDS are at the above location, and the Hebrew Grounds at the s e cor of Oakland.
