Doings of 50 Years Ago!  - extracts
Mountaineer, April 8, 1858

Appointed – Alexander Kilgore, Esq., has been appointed Collector of Tolls at Johnstown.  In his 
selection the company has secured the services of a competent, experienced and accommodating 
officer, a clever gentleman and a sound Democrat.

It will be seen that our enterprising friend, Mr. Robert Davis, has just received a large increase in 
his well selected stock of groceries & as every one will examine his stock for himself, it is 
unnecessary for us to recommend them.

Left - Our lively friend, Reese John Lloyd, Esq. has bid farewell to his friends in Ebensburg and 
removed to his farm, two miles north east of town.  All miss his smiling face and lively laugh.  We 
hope he may soon tire of his labors on the farm and return to spend the balance of his days in 
the society of which he is a favorite member.

Returned – Mr. Frederick Kittell after a couple of years' absence has returned to our village. He 
intends opening a grocery store a few doors west of Blair's Hotel.

Mr. Blaine, our accomplished and polite barber, has removed his shop to the office formerly 
occupied by Messrs. Reed & Heyer.
