An old advertisement touts Dr. Whigs New Discovery for consumption coughs colds asthma bronchitis and hoarseness. It claims rapid relief and perfect cure in worst cases with a trial bottle offered free and a regular size priced at 100 dollars, sold by Richards and Sohbeck.
Local reports describe a prominent Moline manufacturer exploring cotton mull for a new venture. A new manufacturing enterprise is planned east of the toll gate on the river, with public disclosure once proper documents are ready. The item mentions various local figures and ongoing industrial and transport adjustments on Rock Island County’s riverfront.
The piece recalls Squire Swander elected in 1855 as Rock Island’s first Police Magistrate. He served twelve years and was strict with criminals, a model for modern officials. An exchange notes a Henry County Court House contractor cannot finish the remaining fifth of work without higher pay as costs rise and iron and labor drop, with the contractor and bondsmen bearing the risk.
