Excerpt from The Spirit of an Illinois Town, and the Little Renault: Two Stories of Illinois at Different PeriodsFurther justice had been done the Potts watomies, and their forerunner in path-mak ing, the bufialo, by naming the town Trail City. Long gaps of vacant lots still showed between buildings. Shopping women had to walk half a mile from the north side to the south side, matching samples. It was the favorite joke of merchants in this direction to bid their customers, Give us a call on your way to Chicago. Some still thought the supremacy of trade might be wrested from Main Street on the south side, but others were wavering toward that thorough fare. On every hand were scattering houses, from mansions having their own gas, and their water propelled by gayly painted Wind mills, to the rudest shelters of pine, in which lot-owners tabernacled until they could do better; every man's first care being to secure what promised to be the most valu able location he could command.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
