The Whig paper of years ago fur
nished its readers with the current
events of the day. The following ar

in 1856 is good reading today and
worth perusal:

Advertisement of "a years ago:
In the same issue in which the above
article appeared the following an
nouncements by the Hillsboro mer-
chants of that day appeared:
Judge Thos. Barry calls the atten
tion of the public to the fact that he
had laid in large stock of wall pap
ers and looking-glasses, which he pro-
posed to dispose of at low prices.
F. r. Shepherd Jour present Field
ing) informed the readers of the News
that he had boiler and good engine
to sell.
j. X. Marley describes his stock of
hardware as being the largest and
best ever found in Hillsboro.
Woodrow & Harris call the atten-
tion of the ladies to their new and
elegant stock of spring and summer
goods, equal to those found in much
larger cities than Hillsboro.
Daniel Browning was willing in
those days to feed the residents of
Hillsboro as well as transient custo-
mers at his residence on East street.
But we cannot follow up all that
appears in the issue quoted from, yet
enough appears to show that the old
town was not just as slow as were the
stage coaches, which carried both the
dry goods and the news to the county
seat of Highland county, were repor-
ted to have been. ~
