Council Bluffs Ad Busy with Local Services and Stores
A faded 1868 local page from Council Bluffs lists businessmen and trades including a lawyer, an insurance agent, a physician surgeon accepting professional calls, a tobacconist, a carpenter builder, a painter and glazier, a grocer and grocers’ dealer, a bank and tax paying agent, and a drugstore with a wide stock. It notes connections to Broadway and mentions several named figures and institutions in commerce and banking.

Best blooded bull and other fairs in committee notes
A dense listing of fair divisions, prizes, and committees includes Best blooded bull over three years, Best pair Guimes, Heaviest dozen hen's egg, and Best acre crops. Various committees and officers, with entries for butter, soap, honey, linen, paintings, needlework, flowers, and plum preserves, are named along with exhibit and judging schedules. The disjointed text also recounts a hospital fire-side anecdote, Civil War dispatches, and local notices.
