! CLARENCE, April IL, lS6S.
Mr.. Editor:-Thinking that = fev
items from this section might be OF som
interest to your readers, ! herewith pre-
sent them: @
Business is quite lively in Clarence
hniIding Is going on rapidly, and it
thought by many that from fifty to on
hundred houses will be put up here tn
coming summer. Our old friend Sim
mons and his partner are erecting
store building, 20 by so, on the corne
formerly occupied by L. 3. Gere, wher
all who are in need of cheap grocerie
Hecht, Reed 4 Co. are still to be fount
at their old stand, and have just received
their stock Of spring and summer goods
As Fred is noted for buying cheap, Il
| follows, as a matter Of course, that they
| will sell cheap. Flanagan Co. are al
their old stand, and say goods must be
/ sold reasonable Two new stores have
| lately opened here: one drug store,
owned by Vandver 4 Squires; the other
a grocery store, by Stone. We also anti
cipate building splendid school house
this summer.
Although the spring is somewhat back
ward, our farmers have commenced SOW
ing, and anticipate good wheat crop
this season. think the prospect Is very
favorable for a good crop. .l....
We are having an interesting lyceum
here; and AZ the bursts Of eloquence fall
from the lips Of the speakers one almost
imagines himself living in the days OF
Clay and Webster.
Mr.. VIM. Gordon, living 2 miles north
east OF this place came to town this NOR
ming and informed us that, at 10 o'clock
last night he heard noise at his stable,
and his dogs barked as though some one
was about: he went to the stable and
found that some covetOus cuss had de-
parted with two Of his horses. This news
caused considerable excitement, and the
people started out in pursuit. hope
the thief or thieves may be Overtaken
and brought to justice. do not know
but it would be well to revive lynch law
again; it is harsh remedy, but an effec-
tual one. These fellows will be dead
horse thieves if Gordon gets within gun
shot OF them. ... =.
In regard to the article in last weeks
advertiser, stating that a jollification
was held in. Clarence over the supposed
allure Of the Upton Railroad enterprise,
will say that there has not been any
such meeting held here. Our citizens
ire not quite as selfish as you imagine
them to be, and do not wish your town
any harm. They are in favor of that
which will benefit the greatest number,
Is all right minded men should be. III
have been rightly informed, some of
your citizens werc engaged in that spree,
and man from the country broke Mr..
Foot's leg. We are not responsible for
the conduct of strangers who come to
our town; neither do we claim to be
saints, but we do claim to have as good
society in Clarence as there Is in Iowa. |
There was quite revival at the NJ. +.
church Of this place this winter, and
many souls acknowledged that they had
found peace in Jesus. sincerely hope
they will remain steadfast in the cove
nant they have made.
The Lutherans have got the foundation
Of new church laid, and intend COM
pletiDg it this summer. The Methodists
also talk Of erecting a new church this !
season.
