LYMAN ITEMS
Small showers of rain visited us on Monday and Tuesday, but on Wednesday it rained as if it really meant it, and it came just in time to save our early corn which was really in need of it.
Horace Lester, one of our well known citizens, has just returned from Nebraska, where he has been purchasing himself a farm. Horace has the "fever" about as bad as anybody we ever knew.
The G. C. & S. R. R. Co. is erecting a station house in Thawville.
The first car of corn was loaded, from the new warehouse on Wednesday, July 17. Five minutes is the time it takes to fill a car.
Our farmers report the army worm is working at their crops. The first place that they made their appearance was in the north part of the Township, and they are reported as steadily advancing southward.
Our school house is being painted -- white.
J. B. Meserve is making preparations to erect a dwelling house in town.
John Newman, whom we mentioned some time ago as leaving for Galesburg for medical treatment, returned on Thursday a mere skeleton, not able to lift his head. His brothers Wm. and James accompanied him.
The smoke stack of Meserve's warehouse was raised to its place on Saturday last. This was something of a feat. It being raised in one lengthy fifty foot piece.
Another big rain on Saturday night.
Reports from Livingston County state that the laborers on the Fairbury road, southeast of that place, came across some copper ore in their excavations.
