Sept. 19-u.


AMONG numerous other improve
ments in progress in Aberdeen, is the
repairs on the brick block Nos. 33
and 35, on lower Commerce Street.
1t is now owned by Mr.. john NEW
MAN, and the repairs involve new
woodwork entirely on the inside, and
a new brick front. These repairs
bring to mind of many of our citi
zens the ante-bellum days when the
store houses mentioned were occu-
pied by Kenneth and David Clark,
w. B. Haughton, P. H. Dawson &
Co., and others, when the commerce
of Aberdeen as a river town equalled
if it did not excel its present status
as a railroad centre. And then, the
building of the passenger depot of
the Illinois Central Railroad, at the
corner of Commerce and Chestnut
Streets, revives thesmemory of all our
old citizens who revert to the decade
that spanned the gap between 1850
and 1850, that is situated immediate
ly opposite the old Walton hotel,
around whose history clings many
of the fondest recollections of those
who we're prominent in the social and
commercial history of our now beau
tiful and progressive city. We have
numerous citizens who could relate a
history of lower Commerce Street
that would be as entertaining as De
Wits illuminated literature or the
standard works of Dickens, Mark
Twain and other popular authors
In those ante-bellum days Aberdeen
was little monarchy, with her fleets
of merchant vessels anchored at the
wharf and her immense trade cover
ing the same territory that she now
enjoys, which then represented the
plantation supply trade of all the ad
joining prairie country and neigh
boring fertile and wealthy regions, al
we'll as the very lucrative local bust
ness.
