FROM MELROSE

MARSHALL MESSENGER

30-MARCH-1877

 

 

 

   As your valuable paper has contained no special news from our place lately, we conceived the idea of writing a few brief notes.

   J.B. Sheaply’s school closed Friday last.

   Mr. Row is erecting a plow and wagon factory at this place.

   Roof and Row are doing business with their grist and saw mill.

   Jacob, Charlie and William Howerton started for Champaign County, Monday last.

   J.M. Wells has been appointed Notary Public by the Governor for the town of Melrose.

   Our centennial man, James Hall, boasts of being one hundred and ten years old and is engaged in a litigation concerning goose pasture.

   The red eye brigade arrived from York.   Wonder if they caught any fish while trying river water.
