Rakings 1877
Editor Record:
Absence from home was the cause for nonappearance of usual pile of Rakings last week.
Old winter is still lingering in the lap of spring, but all think he had better get out, as she will soon want to put on her pretty green dress and flowers and don't want him in her lap any way.
News items very scarce. A. J. O'Harra has built a carpenter shop near Rice & Southwick's lumber yard, and is now prepared to contract for and build anything on his line, as he is a No.... 1 workman and a capital good fellow too, so the ladies all say.
Peter Pfaat who has closed out his dry goods and grocery stock, will preside over the implement warehouse of John Shute. Flora & Newman and Tinklepaugh & King are also about to embark in the sale of agricultural implements. Experience proves that business to be a sure road to fortune, "over the left," but strong hopes in the good time coming.
James Ducas is again on the street after four weeks of fever.
That terrible scourge of the little ones, scarlet fever, has made its appearance in our place, and taken for its first victim little Tommie McNish, one of the brighest little boys in town. He died on the 13th after an illness of only four days, it is hoped the disease may not extend.
W. R. Newman, who recently sold his farm on section 17, has concluded not to "go west," but has purchased of A. M. Haling, the Beset Grove farm, and will soon remove on to it.
Quite a number of changes and many new comers among the farmers of our community.
Dr. Cassingham has lost his Mexican mare and will have to look long before he finds her equal for speed and endurance.
Mrs. Roberts of Wenona, and Miss Rowe of Goodland, Indiana, are visiting in town with relatives.

More Observations from 1873
Part 3 of 3
Last but not least we mention Will C. Thompson who presides over the sole government office of which the village boasts, and serves the public faithfully as a man of bitters?. Paints and putty, pills and purgatives are passed over his counter with a ?? becoming the proprietor of the only drug store.
Dr. Cassingham feels the pulse of the public and administers correctives when necessary.
Roberts is looking for a cross railroad, which, if realized will place her in an enviable position among the village of the county. More soon.

LYMAN ITEMS
The protracted meeting is still in progress at the School House in Dist. No. 4. House crowded every night. Quite a number have already joined the church, and the prospect is that a great deal of good will be done.
McClave & Riggs, of Buckley, have put in a stock of dry goods in the room with Thompson & Lyman. J. G. McClave in person attends to customers at this place.
Two individuals of the genus "Drummer" were in town this week: one represented the "Moline Plow" Co., the other talked "Key Stone Planter."
Mr. Barkmeyer of the firm of Barkmeyer & Holch, of Gilman, spent a day in our town, looking at the prospects, we suppose.
Our first drunken man was in town this week, and he imported his liquor.
And still they marry! Our friend Benny Simpson of Peach Orchards, was the victim this time. Rumor also speaks of another couple to be made happy. Oh, yes, certainly.
Taylor John, the proprietor of "Thawville" a new station on this road, was in town several times this week.
W. C. Thompson, our young and genial druggist, departed for Pekin on a visit to his "Cousin;" hope he'll enjoy himself. Our Dr. is on the go all the time; something serious must be the matter.
John Roberts, one of our old and well esteemed citizens, met with quite a serious accident lately, caused by the fall of his horse on his left leg, fracturing the lower part of the "tibia." Dr. M. Cassingham was called to attend the case. He adjusted the parts and reports him doing finely.
A. A. Haling and family left for the East on Wednesday of this week.
A called meeting of the voters of this Township to take some action in regard to R. R. taxes is posted for Saturday the 27th inst.

Cassingham Bros.
The Cassingham brothers were in business in Roberts for many years, with one of the two leaving town on several occasions, only to come back and join another economic enterprise or to renew the union with his brother. As was common back then, the Cassinghams dealt in paint, lubricants, patent medicines, gifts, jewelry, fans, feathers, and other inventory that led to the 1890s label of "Various and Sundry."
