It had its groceries, its dry goods stores, and its two houses for public worship--the Methodist and Presbyterian--while every other Sunday a little band of Episcopalians met for their own service in what was called the Village Hall, where, during week days, a small, select school was frequently taught by some Yankee schoolmistress. It had its post office, too, and there was also talk of a bank after the railroad came that way, and roused the people to a state of still greater activity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
