ROBERTS RAKINGS
News of interest in our town is almost as scarce an article at present as the sometimes abused but muchly coveted greenback.
A series of evening meetings is now being held here by Rev. Mr. Wenge, pastor of the Congregational church of Thawville, assisted by Rev. Hart, pastor of the Methodist church, in Roberts. . .
. . . James Gell, Esq, is building a banking office on his lot just east of Anderson & Campbell's.
H. Tinklepaugh is putting up some splendid farm wagons, every part warranted.
Ed. Newman has just returned from Chicago, where he has been after a fresh stock of winter goods, ready made clothing, etc.
Thompson & Lyman now have a practical tinsmith, and are ready to manufacture everything in their line.
Our grain merchants have plenty of greenbacks in exchange for corn, oats, and flax at the highest market prices.
Rice Bros. have opened their new meat market. With two meat markets we have meat enough to spare and potatoes to match.
Miss Montgomery has opened a millinery shop in the old post office building.
John Bunker has a new house nearly ready for occupancy, just north of the school house.
Ed. King is building a house for John McNish who has sold his farm and is coming to town to engage in the manufacture of boots and shoes with his brother.
E. Van Steenbergh shipped a car load of hogs last week which he sold at $7.25 in Chicago.  Joseph Hurst and others contemplate shipping soon.  Mr. Hurst has a very choice lot which will bring him outside prices.
Farmers are uncommonly busy improving the fine weather in husking a big crop of corn.  Some claim an average of 60 bushels per acre.
If any one doubts the soundness of the suggestions of last week's Record in regard to working roads let him tread over the town of Lyman at the present time, roads graded in the fall are hard roads to travel I believe, but we must live and learn, for this is a progressive age in which we live.

We took Roberts in on our return trip . . .

We took Roberts in on our return trip and spent a few hours pleasantly among her business men.  Meserve & Hubbard, bankers and grain dealers; Thompson & Lyman, hardware: Floyd & Newman, R. B. Chambers, Pfaat & Gose, and Anderson & Campbell, dry goods; Thos. McNeish, boots and shoes and harness, and A. D. Wyckoff, drugs and books.  The latter is a new comer from Chebanse and will prove a valuable acquisition to Roberts.  We must not forget our brawny armed workers, Taff & Tinklepaugh, who run the wagon and blacksmith shops, and was fat and rich at the same time.  Roberts has a fine country surrounding it and just as fine a set of business men and citizens as any town in the west can boast.
Geo. H. Thompson was at his post again, after a visit of some weeks in the East, and finds the prairies more attractive than the hills and rocks of New York.
The hotel de Newman is a marked improvement over the same house as we remember it several years since.  A dinner enjoyed at that house is not soon forgotten.  We can commend it to the wayfarer as the place where the money's worth is always to be had.
We had contemplated taking Melvin in our route, but wind and weather said no, and we shall be obliged to set apart another day and accept the invitation of our friend Charley Ellis to hunt chickens with him, though we have not the most remote idea that we shall be the death of any.
