Crossing the street again. and retrac-
ing our steps short distance, we find
Louis Greiner, who shared the strug-
giles of the German patriots Of AS, car
rying on the shoemaking business in
the frame building adjoining brakes.
Next to Louis, comes Mr.. VIM. NJ
Ream, who conducts money exchange
and general banking bAsiness in the east
soop of his large BRICK residence.
Next to Ream, is George Stafford,
whose business in stoves, tin ware, ETC.,
has steadily increased until the interior
of his establishment presents a labyr rim
THAN appearance from the number and
variety of stoves piled up therein. When
on duty, George "bonnces" through the
intricate windings of his surroundings
with a nimbleness and an alacrity that
indicate that he is fully awake to the
importance of business dispatch. We
may add that G. H. is bound to win.
In the Gallin building, across the
street from George, may be found Mr..
r. s. Cox, an old-time grocer, engaged
in the business of his early election
As an assistant, Mr.. Wall Caine, a young
man of correct business habits, assumes
a share of the pressure incident to the
business of Richards establishment.
Next to Richard, and in the same
building, Mrs. Mccormick is engaged
in carrying on the millinery business in
all its branches. 1t is needless to add
that she devotes her best endeavors to
the matter of pleasing and beneftting
her numerous customers.
Across the street from Mrs. McCor-
mick's, Mike Bowman carries on the
grocery and saloon business on the lower
floor of his fine new building.
In the building adjoining Bowman's,
Nathan Danison "carries on" in the
dry goods line. An uninterrupted
serenity characterizes Nathan's general
bearing, and this, perhaps, may be ac-
counted for by the fact that he has an
unsurpassed stock of dry goods, and that
the public show their appreciation of
the situation by extending liberal pat
ronage to his store. Mr.. A. A. Finck,
an experienced and popular salesman,
wields the yard-stick behind Mr.. DIS
counter as an assistant.
In the southeast corner of the Square,
Mr.. JAS. w. Graves holds himself in
readiness to accommodate the public in
the matter of boots, shoes and kindred
goods. His stock is always large and
varied, and of good quality. Mr.. Ben
jamin Graves is also carving on the
manufacture of boots and shoes, in con-
nection with this establishment VIM.
Freeman ("Bullv") an old timer, well
known to every body in the commu nifty,
is employed in this house.
On the other side of the Square, up
stairs in the Gallagher building, Mr.. p.
H. Shough carries on a tailor shop, and
down stairs in the extension Of the same
building, George Davis conducts the
business of shaving, hair cutting, sham
pooling, etc.
In the Magruder building. adjoining,
Ben. Whitmer is engaged in the groc> ry
and saloon business, with an apparently
good run of custom. He is assisted in
the store by Mr.. Alex Caine, a gentle
man conspicuous for his snavity and
business like habits.
In our next issue, we will resume this
mention of our village tradesmen, and
will continue the same until we have
named them all, and designated their
business es with the places where the
same are conducted. By this means,
''posterritory," as Tom Gallagher nsed
to say, will have a showing of our "bus-
iness interests" for the Spring of 1876
in succinct and readily compre
hensible form.
