"Greater Clinton." by B.F. Mattison

Comrade Peter Barr is dangerously ill. he has been sick for several months but would rally and get around, but his last attack has been a combination of diseases and the physicians don't seem to bring him around as fast as his friends could wish. His son Robert has discontinued work on the railroad until he is better. His friends all over Clinton all express a wish where his name is mentinoed, that he may recover soon, for they miss him from their midst. he is an old pioneer of the town and his handi-work can be seen on most of our preminent buildings here.
