In the vicinity are three stone quarries which furnish material for building purposes. Agricultural pursuits are the main occupation and steps have been taken to aid this by irrigation, which will make this section of the state one of the finest. A good roller flour mill is in operation here. There are three banks in a flourishing condition, two newspapers well conducted and Methodist, Congregational and Catholic churches. The Commercial Hotel, J. H. Barrett proprietor, is the popular hostelry.
