Local Vignettes Highlight Farming, Schools and Trade
In a rural update, Capers Bkenon backs away from politics while noting his plans and past actions. John A. Breventon excels in wheat, as Job expands land with family labor. Rock Mills Orange lingers in decline, and Rock Mills Townville seeks a steam saw mill. Old teacher O. W. Todd starts a school in the lower township, urging communal growth and a first class academy. Fore 1te10 and others commend resident builders and a new pew residence. Trials over creditors and tax loyalties surface as the community factors Hampton, Anderson and nearby towns. A negro night at the Sears residence ends in a cabin fire amid a heavy Thursday rain, wind, and thunder. Downville hosts a church, academy, doctors, and shops prospering.
