this village has, during the last six months
advanced more than during the previous
five years, and is still rapidly increasing.
Buildings are going up in almost every
direction, attesting the growth, prosperity
and enterprise of our beautiful village.
Our merchants have their stores well filled
and others seeing their prosperity, are
making strenuous efforts to open stores,
and thereby share in the prosperity of the
place. Our merchants and laborcas are
all unusually busy, and no industrious
man need fear adversely, for labor is
abundant at remunerative prices. Our
enterprising village Board is pushing the
sidewalk ma tier, and other improvements,
and ere long we confidently expect to see
decided improvement in the looks of our
village.
