Hillsboro.
Hillsboro items are scarce now,- it is rail road, rail road. For three
weeks past it has absorbed the attention of both men and women. At every
conceivable place groups of men are collected talking rail road. It has been
very exciting and one or tow radicals have been obliged to retract some hasty
remarks. Gentlemen from Keokuk, Ft. Madison, Mt. Pleasant, and Salem have been
here electioneering, some for, some against. The Mt. Pleasant and Keokuk men are
talking up the north road, meetings have been held, and, rumor says on the
refusal of a better place they occupied a smoke house. As for myself, if I were
to vote, I would take the ticket for taxation, but as I am not of age, I will
subside into silence on the question.
The flies are beginning to make an appearance, which warns us that summer
is near. Already we have had a few warm days, and we are trembling for the heat
of July and August.
Mr. Sneath and son, English families living two miles north of town have
given a Christian dinner every year for over twenty years inviting some very
distinguished guests. At one dinner was the Governor of Iowa; at another a
lawyer and a doctor; and guests from Salem and Mt. Pleasant were also present.
And last week they entertained "Queen Victoria," all were cordially received and
had a pleasant time.
Mrs. Fannie Clarton has been visiting her friends near Utica.
Al Taylor returned from Missouri and has given up the idea of moving
thither, but will seek some other field, New Mexico is his choice.
James Laughery returned from Lockridge last Saturday, to cast his vote for
the railroad.
Our barber, Mr. Mullen, has returned to Keosauqua. We have not learned the
cause, but we suppose custom was not plenty enough.
We notice a little improvement in our side walks-glad to see it.
Two gentlemen from Indiana, are the guests of Joshua Harlan.
Miss Early, also from Indiana, is here visiting her brothers.
