Jamesville Jottings (April 16, 1890)

Posted on by

Dear Sir – Fishing has been very good for several days.  Buyers are seen in town almost every day, and the man of moderate  means can afford the luxury of eating while shad and rock.

The J. & W. Road is being much improved at this end of the line.  If you want to ride a long time for a little money choose this route.

R.W. STANCILLE, State Evangelist, has been preaching at the Church of the Disciples and assisting the pastor, Rev. H.C. BOWEN, ever since the dedication.  He has delivered a series of earnest discourses.  Seven have been added to the church, and the meeting is still in progress.  The preacher has impressed himself upon our people as one having lots of stick-to-it-ativeness.

Many in this vicinity regret that Dr. WARD has ceased to practice.  We need a physician in Jamesville.  We did our best to get Dr. COX to fall in love with Jamesville but Plymouth seemed to have greater attractions for him.  However, we are glad he is not far away, and will be glad to see him often.
