MIRANDA.



    Miranda is the third station on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad in Faulk

county and is located eight miles west of Rockham and nine miles east of the

county seat, on section one in Arcade township. It is surrounded by a rich, well

farmed agricultural territory, which gives it a large grain shipping business

and a good lumber trade. It is too near Faulkton to do a large mercantile business.



    It has two stores, a lumber yard and two grain elevators. It is an important

business center.



    The following is a full list of the business places of the town:



General merchandise, Pierce & Haag, proprietors.

Hardware and postoffice, O. C. Riedlinge, proprietor and postmaster.

Lumber and building material, Philip Findeis, proprietor.

The Atlas Grain Elevator Co., Philip Findeis, manager.

J. T. Scrogg Grain Elevator & Coal, J. E. Scroggs, manager.

Miranda railroad station, J. E. Moel, agent.

R. Alexander, pool hall and harness shop.

J. H. Niemeyer, blacksmithing and feed grinding.

Miranda State Bank, Philip Findeis, president; J. A. Rouse, cashier.

The Miranda Hotel, the Misses Olson, managers.

Livery stable, Joe Pesha, proprietor.

Agricultural implements, H. Grabinski, agent.

Real estate, J. A. Rouse.



    Since the organization of the town Miranda has maintained a band and

orchestra, which has proved a credit to the town and an honor to all that are

identified with it. An illustration of the musicians may be found in this history.
