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.
