The May 21st, 1874 edition of the Grant City Star contained an advertisement for the Grant City and Hopkins Express Line. It had just changed hands and was under new management. Two trips a day were made, and each one was made in six hours.
Communities passed through included Isadora, Winemiller’s Mills (now Sheridan), and Luteston, connecting at Hopkins with all passenger and express lines there, and at Grant City with the Albany and Mount Ayr Stage Line. The line in question also carried the mail.
Among other businesses advertised that issue:
–H.B. Leonard offered his services for digging and walling wells and cisterns, and also cleaned out wells and cisterns on short notice.
–Carr & Kennedy offered general blacksmithing in Allenville (now Allendale).
