SENEY ITEMS.
Seney, Iowa, Jan. 9th, 1882

Business very good for just after New Year.

The M.E. folks are enjoying protracted meetings here now.

School resumed to-day, after two weeks vacation during the holidays.

The Lyceum was well attended last Saturday night and an interesting
programme was given.

We learn that work on the new county bridge across the Floyd, north of
town, has been commenced. 

W.S. Darvill, of Fredonia, is building an addition to his residence.
W.S. Clark, of LeMars, has the contract.

There is not much doing just now in the produce line.  Farmers are
holding back hoping for a raise in prices.  We quote markets same as
LeMars.

We are glad to learn that Mr. G.W.D. Blair, of Fredonia, who was so
badly injured by his team running away is improving as fast as could be
hoped.

It is rumored that the ship in which Jack Wakefield took passage for
England was lost at sea with all on board.  We hope the rumor will prove
false.

Messrs. Arthur and William Reeves each presented their families with a
beautiful Mason & Hamlin cabinet organ as a Christmas and New Year's
present.  The instruments were purchased through T.J. Reeves, agent for
the company at this place.

Messrs. Keefer, Hull and Tinnin have supplied a long felt want by
erecting a good blacksmith shop here.  Messrs. Hull and Tinnin will do
the iron work, and Mr. Keefer will do the wood work.  We believe the
gentleman are competent and efficient workmen and we trust they will be
successful and receive the encouragement from our farmers they deserve.
