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.
E. Van Steenbergh shipped a car load of hogs last week which he sold at $7.25 in Chicago. Joseph Hurst and others contemplate shipping soon. Mr. Hurst has a very choice lot which will bring him outside prices.
Farmers are uncommonly busy improving the fine weather in husking a big crop of corn. Some claim an average of 60 bushels per acre.
If any one doubts the soundness of the suggestions of last week's Record in regard to working roads let him tread over the town of Lyman at the present time, roads graded in the fall are hard roads to travel I believe, but we must live and learn, for this is a progressive age in which we live.
