Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1885-05-07
Hazel Green.

Green is still among the living villages
of Grant county. though she has under
gone very great changes since 1859,
when / with other Hard Scrabble Bows
used to roast frogs along near Scrabble
Branch and we had jolly times too, with
just little salt Tor seasoning, and |
lind occasionally an old chum who is
still here, and enjoys a chat on old
times when boys were mischieyous.
We find among the principle business
men of the village r. ID. Roberts, who
is carrying on quite an extensive bust
ness in wagon and blacksmithing, to-
gether with his general machinery sales.
VIM Roberts and John Cox are paint
ers who need no puffs. Their work will
speak for itself as they are hard to beat.
Christy, McCann & Co. have a very
good business in general merchandise,
then comes Josiah Thomas, John Crib
BILE and Richard Pearce with reason
able amount of trade.
Mrs. NeCollins has very neat mil
linery shop, and she knows just how to
fix the ribbon and feather in the very
latest style.
VIM. L. Andrew is ready to furnish
livery rigs as low and reasonable as
any one well could and have living
| therefrom.
The hotels of the village are run by
B. Cornellison and c. Grutz, both of
them live men, and ready to give the
travelling public cordial entertain
ment.
The Sherrard Bros and Birkett Bros
are at all times ready to supply the
hungry with the rare beef of the Badger
state.
The excitement for skating appears
to DE waning as spring approaches
John r. Fisk & Son have very fine
prospect on the old Curtis farm, and the
Hustess boys have good diggings on the
land owned by Witherbee, east of the
village.
Times are exciting over the Monroe
railroad coming to this place this com
ing summer. | understand the contract
has been made with the town and the
railroad company, and the required
bonds have been drawn and are to be
in the state secretary's hands until the
railroad company complies with their
part OF the contract and nothing paid
until The engine comes into the town.
when the payment of the bonds will be-
gin. The people here are very confident
OF success in the coming of the railroad,
which sincerely hope will come to pass
as it would undoubtedly be great ben
eft to Hazel Green
Hazel Green has four places of wor-
ship, the Catholic trinity church, Nj. Z.
church on Main street, and the PRINT
tive on front street where sister Watson
has been laboring the past winter for
some weeks, through which efforts it
appears there were converted in the
neighborhood of 100. Glad to hear of
such success, and may the Lord bless
them all in the continuation of faithful
service to God.
The farmers have for the last two or
three days been having picnic in the
fields sowing and blowing there. 1t APP
pears very late to them; but farmers.
like other men, forget what the weather
was one year prior to the time they are
telling every one it is such backward
spring. If we will look back to last
spring we will find that the 21st found
the ground somewhat frozen aud frost
in the latter part of May, so my farmer
friend, be not discouraged for we are
promised seed time and harvest and |
believe our looking blue will have no eff
feet whatever upon those times but on
those who are blue only.
The boards of the village and town
have placed the license at 5000. There
have none of them taken out license as
yet, and there is talk that they will not,
but | think about two of them will all
the same, and do twice the business
they did last year when there were four
at 500 each. CORRESPONDENT.
