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.

LYMAN ITEMS
Allow me, Mr. Editor, to make my excuses for this lengthy hiatus in my items, and with the promise of being more punctual in the future, I send these for your next issue.
Weather and roads very fine for this season of the year.
Corn is coming into town lively, through the rather low price has a tendency to make the farmers hold on to their maize tighter than they otherwise would.
Considerable corn is being shipped to the East from this station. --To the New England states especially.
Another new house is going up in town. Messrs. Newman & Florey are the builders. Our "G., C. & L." R.R. has made another "time arrangement in regards to its passenger trains." The two night trains are taken off, in order to use the engines to move the freight that has accumulated along the line. This is for a short time only, as the road expects new engines this week.
O. B. Taft, of Chicago, was in town last week.
Several changes in real estate have been made in this vicinity lately.
Alexander Forbes, of this town, has returned from the south where he has been sojourning for some months. We were all glad to see Aleck once more.
The Methodist's are holding a Revival meeting at the school house, in District No. 4. The meetings are largely attended.
The Rev. W. Matthews, of Onarga, agent of the "Western Seamen's Bethel Association," of Chicago, has been lecturing in our town quite extensively Mr. Matthews drew good audiences.
Four hearts that beat as one, four souls with but a single thought, were made contented and happy a short time ago. Those principally interested were Mr. John Barker and Miss Leua Forbes; Mr. J. A. Forbes and Miss Mary Scott, all of this town. We wish them much joy.
Melvin has the blues.... They have a doctor to keep it alive, "Vade in pace."
Miss Rouse, of New York, is visiting relatives in this vicinity.
A. A. Haling of this Township, intends removing to the East in a short time.
The Rev. Mr. Wilcox, the well known and highly esteemed pastor of the Congregational Church, of this town, expired on Tuesday, Jan. 9th.
Several runaways in town lately. No particular damage done.
Something of an accident occurred at the R. R. crossing, near Thawville, a few days ago. A man trying to cross the rail road upset, broke his wagon, killed a horse and otherwise shook things up considerable. Moral, let not drunken men try to cross the "G., C. & L." R. R. near Thawville.
A special petition for a town meeting is circulating in our Township, having for its object to devise ways and means to escape our R. R. indebtedness.

More Roberts Rakings . . .
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.
