Special Correspondence to the Dyersville Commercial
Farley, Dec 7th, 1874

As the times wear a more lively aspect, and business has again resumed its
busy turmoil, which is shown by the pleasant countenances of our merchants,
drovers, grain buyers and mechanics, as each one receives due compensation
for his labors, of which we note the firm of FITZPATRICK & DONAHUE, who are
putting up an elevator of an immense capacity on hte side of the L.C.R.R.
track, which will give them facilities for shipping over either road. Also
one of our prominent saloon keepers, Mr. Andrew KELLY has retired from
dealing liquor out by the glass, and has turned his saloon into a first
class grocery store, of which he has received a large and well selected
stock, and by other improvements which are under headway, shows that our
village is doing a thriving business, and our best wishes that it may
continue to prosper.
