March 12, 1892 Geo. M. GREENMAN, and Mr. TEACH, his father-in-law, moved a part of their household goods from Rock Falls to this place last Wednesday. Mr. GREENMAN is to work this season for Geo. FORWARD. June 18, 1892 Mrs. George FORWARD and her grand-daughter, Miss Jennie CRADDOCK, made the Tornado office a pleasant call last week Friday afternoon. February 9, 1895 H.H. [Tip] DOW cured a felon for George FORWARD this week. He is a professional in that line. June 29, 1895 ATTENTION VOTERS Tampico, June 28th, 1895 Attention, please! Friday night you will be called upon to vote "For" or "Against" improving the condition of our school building. Are you in favor of uniform heat and good ventilation, with healthy children alive to their tasks or poorly ventilated air for the children passing the school day in drowsiness? The lower floors that keep the children's feet cold in the winter can be made warm only with furnaces. See how small the additional cost yearly for the eight xxx xxx xxx. The amount expended annually for our school is $2,100. The $124 (interest and principal) of the bonds to be met annually would be about 6 per cent. additional expense. If your school tax last year was $2, the additional tax will make your school tax $2.12. If $5, your school tax will be $5.30. If $10, your school tax will be $10.60, etc. Respectfully submitted George FORWARD L. J. KENDALL Fred W. SMITH Directors September 7, 1895 A. L. [Alvin] PIERCE called in to see us Wednesday and informed us that the lightning of the night before had killed two horses in his pasture a mile west of town. One of the horses belonged to Geo. FORWARD, and it was the best horse he had, the other one belonged to W.S. METCALF. Neither animal was insured. March 28, 1896 Mr. and Mrs. George FORWARD and Mrs. Sam TEACH visited Wm. FORWARD's last Friday. December 26, 1896 Miss Minnie CRADDOCK returned home from Dundee, Miss. last Wednesday. She will remain here some time visiting her parents, Geo. FORWARD and wife. November 6, 1903 Geo. FORWARD, who lives about a mile west of town, expects to move into the Peter HAGAN house this week.
