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.

17-JAN-1882

 

   Not seeing anything from this place for some time, I thought I would drop you a few lines.    Brownsville is among the things of the past.   H.L. Baker has moved his store to Melrose.   He is now in the Red store, where he is doing a lively trade.   He is a first class business man.   The Rowe Brothers mill is doing a lively business and Melrose is a lively place.   Dr. Booth has moved to the burg.   The medical faculty is Dr. Wilkins, Luky and Brother;   blacksmiths, Joe Kelms and Knops and Company;   carpenters, Knops and Company;   shoemaker, JESSE STANFIELD.   Alfred Cowden swings the birch at Melrose.   McClure has got the wind part of a new railroad done.   He is out with papers in hand preaching Greenback doctrine.

 

 

21-FEB-1882

 

   Melrose was visited last week by the death angel and Dr. R.W. Leckle was called to his reward.   The Doctor came to Melrose during the late unpleasantness from eastern Tennessee and had many warm friends in the community where he died.   The Cottonwood School closed on the 9th after a five month term, Mr. William E. Huffington, teacher.   Mr. H. was educated in Indianapolis, Indiana.   He is a young man of fine talent and other qualifications, such as an unblemished moral character.

 

7-MARCH-1882

 

   There is only about one more week of Mr. Cowden’s school yet and I must say to Mr. C’s credit, that he has taught us the best school that we have had for several years.   I have heard scarcely a word of complaint from any one and believe he has the good will of the entire school. 

   Melrose will grow in spite of the hard times.   C.W. Rooks and Charles Rowe are building some substantial fences around their lots.   Dr. Wilkin and Joe Knapp have built sidewalks from their gates to connect with other walks, and John Rowe has moved the office formerly used by Dr. Wilkin around on main street, where it will be fitted up for a milliner shop. 

 

21-MARCH-1882

 

   Melrose is still on the high road to prosperity.   Business of all kinds is flourishing.   The indications are that Melrose in time will furnish her quota of speakers for the legislature.

   The extension of the railroad to this point is a settled fact and lots are being taken rapidly in anticipation of Melrose being a second Chicago.   C.F. Rowe is still alive, but meetings, spelled schools, are things of the past with him since he got married.   Wilbur Fisk returned last week from his flying visit to Indiana.   E.M. Metcalf is making quite an improvement on his farm west of town.   He has erected a dwelling and barn, set out two hundred fruit trees, besides doing all his farming.   A new picket fence surrounds the old hovel occupied by F.G. Hastings.   We would be glad to see a mansion in corresponding with the fencing.   Miss. Mollie Handy, of Reno County, Kansas, is visiting her multitude of friends at this place.   Lee Morland has gone north expecting to manipulate in manual labor this year.   John Crosby gave an entertainment at his residence south of town last Thursday night. 

 

26-APRIL-1882

 

   Brax. Cox and Levi wells were in town last Sunday.   Our subscription for the proposed railroad now foots up $525 and we are confident this can be double if this becomes necessary.   Our people appreciate the advantages of a railroad through our county and are determined to have one if any reasonable exertion on our part will secure it.   About three-fourths of the land owners along the line have already signed the right of way and many more have expressed a willingness to sign it.   The recent cold snap killed all the peaches and cherries in the vicinity.   Joseph Hedges was re-elected school director at the school election last Saturday.   This makes the third term for Mr. Hedges and certainly entitles him to a pension.

 

16-MAY-1882

 

The dwelling house of Jones Spraker, of Orange Twp, was burned yesterday afternoon, with nearly all the contents.   The insurance had run out a short time ago.   John S. Wells, of Martinsville, was visiting his sister, Mrs. Dr. Wilkins, last week.   He has a very sore hand caused by a hatchet, with which he was splitting kindling, coming off the handle and striking his hand.

 

27-JUNE-1882

 

Rook Bros. will have the addition to their store room completed in a few days.   They have four or five workmen employed on the job and the sound of the hammer is heard from early morning until evening.   Our enterprising merchant, H. L. Baker, keeps his eyes on the wants of the people and carries a varied stock of dry goods and groceries.   Our old friend W. Porter, of Martinsville, candidate for superintendent of Schools, was in this neighborhood last week.

27-MAY-1883

 

Alex Medsker has moved to this place.   Wesley Reed died on Saturday the 17th.   H.L. Baker has his dwelling house nearly done.   From what we can hear, Melrose will have a railroad yet.   Mrs. J.W. Rowe has watermelon plants up and growing.   The Melrose Township teachers association was held in Melrose, Saturday of last week.   The old soldiers of our vicinity are flocking with one accord to the Grand Army Organization.   P.F. Dodd’s, agriculture warehouse and hall, is almost completed.   When done the hall will be used by the G.A.R.   Any one wishing to purchase a good Mason and Hamlin organ, with all the modern improvements, call on G.H. Rowe, Melrose, Illinois.   Joseph Buckle and Ivy Buckle were united in marriage, at the home of the bride on Sunday the fourth.   At the home of the bride’s mother, Joseph Sankey and angeline Spivey were united in marriage. 

 

18-DEC-1883

 

A literary society was organized here last Saturday evening with J.W. Rowe as president, Miss Naomi Edwards, secretary and treasurer, J.B. Sheapley critic and Nathan Medsker, Marshall.   A committee consisted of J. R. Trump, R.W. Fisk and Wilbur was appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws.   The society meets in Melrose every Saturday evening.

Cowden was in the village last Tuesday, on one of his old time hand shaking tours.   Col. William Bailey intends to erect a carpenter shop, to protect him from pulverous weather.   Our merchants are waging warfare on the price of salt.   Several members of Thomas Handy Post were billed for York Thursday night, but the lowering clouds caused them to reconsider and stay at home.   We hear that J.R. Trump has been employed to teach the winter school here.   Levi B.Wells, of Martinsville, brought the advance agent of King Burk’s show into our burg last Thursday and now P.F. Dodd’s agricultural house is refulgent with circus pictures, to the great delight of the small boys.   Rowe Bros. mill is again in successful operation with improved machinery and facilities for making as good flour as can be found anywhere.

Thomas Bailiff, at his residence, Mr. Joseph Howerton and Miss Ella Thompson.   A number of the friends gathered at the house of James Thompson, the bride’s father.

W. baker brought a well trained bird dog from William Rockwell for which he paid full value.   Another wedding to conical this week:   Mr. George Filloon to a Miss Perisho.   Frank Miller of Marshall was in our village.   Joseph Howerton is repairing Uncle Joe Well’s house south of town where he and his handsome young wife will soon begin life’s journey.   Nathan Medsker of South Carolina Democratic fame still keeps up the war cry against republicans.   HE SEEMS INSPIRED WITH EXTREME HOSTILITY TOWARD T.R. Cornwell, charging him with the use of whiskey, buying votes, bribing, and all the various crimes as which democrats have always been known to hold up their hands in holy horror.   Look out, Reck, for we all know that Nathan is a host in law.    We see in this week’s Planet, the correspondent from this place has a quite lengthily item in mitigation of the offence committed by G.H, Rowe in taking a piece of timber to strike a small boy.
