LYMAN ITEMS
Our revival meeting still continues, much good has been done.
W. C. Thompson arrived at home from his visit to the "celestials."
H. J. Howe, our county surveyor, was seen in town this week....
Flora & Newman's building rapidly approaches completion; a good frame east side of Main street. Another house in town, this time a dwelling, Alfred Guise is the proprietor. Mel Lincoln, of the firm of H. Lincoln & Son, of Buckley, was in town this week.
This week an important event has taken place; nothing more nor less than the birth of the first child inside of the corporate limits of our town, G. H. Bushor, our business maker, is the happy "parent," and he is just about as happy as a man can be -- and live.
The grain business is nearly at a stand still, no more cars are allowed to be loaded with grain until further orders, and as everything in town capable of holding shelled corn is full, (which is not otherwise occupied) buyers are constrained to purchase nothing except ear corn for the time being.
The called meeting alluded to in our last, was largely attended by the citizens of Lyman. After considerable desultory talking, a committee consisting of Messrs. Gose, Hurst and Haling were appointed to take the best legal advice obtainable on the subject in question, viz; our "G., C. & S." R.R. aid bonds, and to report at an adjourned meeting, on Feb. 7th, 1872.
Public sales are many, too numerous even to be noticed. Auctioneering must be good business. We notice that Ed. Gill is booked for one in the north part of the Township.
Weather cold, blowy and blustery.
Some of citizens are making preparations for a "new departure," Missouri is the destined point. We hope they will never regret their leaving Lyman and that they will enjoy both health and prosperity in their future homes.
Real Estate is changing hands in our vicinity and at good fair prices.
One of our citizens who sold out with the intention of making Kansas his future home, has returned and is now about purchasing another near here. He says he can buy land here as cheap as he can good land there, and the poor land is dear at any price. So much for Kansas. "Suckers" stay at home and don't grumble.
