Springfield the Best Place for Health and for Business.
Three years ago John Coombs and family left Springfield for Lawrenceburg, in
Lawrence county, expecting to make a fortune in a short time, but while the
people down there are pleasant, the land is not up to the modern standard of
excellence such as that which surrounds Springfield. Mr. Coombs was restless
during the whole period of his absence, and his affection for the old home was
so strong upon him that he pined, and it is alleged that he "fell off." The home
influence grew upon him and now he has returned and established himself and
family at the McMillan place on East Walnut street. The improvement in the
bright faces of this charming family is already noticeable, and Mr. Coombs says
that he does not care for any town now, except Springfield, and he is disposed
to spend the rest of his days here.
