Columbus Citizen: The thriving little city of Alleyton had an election Tuesday on the question of incorporating for school purposes only, and 26 votes were polled, all of which went “for.” seven trustees were elected, viz: T. W. McLeod, J. J. Everett, Ed. Braden, Henry Burttschell, W. J. Wright, L. Wink, P. Dehmer--all of whom are good men except the first, and he would be all right if he wasn’t too old. ALLEYTON LOCALS ALLEYTON LOCALS Mrs. L. Thompson, who has been postmaster at Alleyton for twenty-one years, has resigned and gone to live in Houston, with her daughter. Her familiar face and kindly greeting will be sadly missed in her accustomed place by her many friends. Mr. Walter A. Neal is now the postmaster at Alleyton, and will keep things level.

ALLEYTON LOCALS Don’t forget the concert on Thursday, 17th inst, (to-night) “Come one, come all,” fill up the house, and assist the “Dramatic Association” in their laudable undertaking. Their general programme is a long one, and if they carry it out (and who can doubt them?) will achieve great things for the east end. When they have enclosed the “Alleyton Cemetery” with a handsome fence, the next object is to build an iron bridge across the Colorado at Columbus, so we can have access to the Courthouse and County Site, at any time, day or night, without let or hindrance. Next they will build a large and airy courtroom to be used by the High Judge of precincet No 7, to hold court in, instead of 12 by 14 lean to’s, as has been the case for several years. Next on the programme is a calaboose in which to cage violators of the laws, until they can be properly disposed of. Last, and not least, they propose to have sidewalks on each side of Broadway, with the best matereial, for the purpose, that can be obtained this side of Alaska. Now, who would not assist them? We expect to attend every concert they have and pay our four bits every time. In this we are not joking; not a bit of it. Colorado Citizen, May 17, 1883 |
