November 17	1869	Now and Then		I have wished that some competent pen would represent out town in your columns, but none appearing, I thought it was better perhaps that a poor one make the attempt than none at all. The writer from Ulysses makes out considerable for the business enterprise of his village. There had been a similar spasm in that place before within the recollections of most of its inhabitants. I hope her history will not repeat itself in one decade. The business of our village is about the same as for several years past, though occasionally a new dwelling house figures among her improvements. But the large increase of dairy and other farm products, also the number of cultivated acres throughout the town is laying the foundation for future business operations which cannot be ephemeral. T. J. Kibbe, Alvah Hurlburt, Henry Hurlburt, Burr Robinson, Leonard Simmons, and Avery Smith are building substantial and commodious dwellings. M. R. Swetland is putting up a part of what, I believe, he intends shall be his future home. Others are making more or less improvement in the appearance of their buildings with enlargement of accommodations. A neighbor who commenced less than twenty years ago on a possession on which a yearling heifer was considered an equivalent, has multiplied his acres and his heirs till he owns nearly or quite three hundred of the first, while the latter number I will wait for the next census returns before I speak positively, but I think they count among the dozens. His sturdy ax has beat back the forest lines about him till, with his purchases, he has the largest and lest appointed improvements in town. He is exceeding anything therefore done in town in the line of house building. His moral beginning was about level with his pecuniary, and I wish I could record a like improvement. So great is the demand for building materials that the Dodge boys are replacing their old saw mill with a new and improved one. Ed Robertson, so lately arrived at man’s estate, is located at the Valley and is doing his part in respect to the business and population of the place. He is building a new residence and is quite skillful in rejuvenating dilapidated wagons and the like, and can even make new ones. In connection with his shop and the various branches of blacksmithing are conducted with not a very unskilled hand. Coopering is a very important branch of the productive industries of our town, both in respect to the large demand for the work and the amount made. It is not consistent with my time nor your space, to write farther now. If the inclination continues, I will drop you a line. Now and Then.
December 15	1869	Brundage	Mr. Homer	Mr. Homer Brundage of the Harrison Valley Mills will please accept out thanks for the sack of buckwheat flour of his manufacture, which for fineness, whiteness, and delicacy of flavor excels anything of the kind we ever saw. Words fail us, but our deeds do ample justice to the subject. Blessed is the man who remembers the printer.
