More on Hoopeston 1902
In this letter to The Waycross Weekly Herald Riley repeats much of his letter of 19 May 1902, adding a few interesting details: "There are four automobiles in town and bicycles almost innumerable. There are horses from the fast trotter to Clydesdale draught, some of which weigh 1700 each, capable of drawing enormous loads." Riley also very happy that Hoopeston appears to be a dry town: "There being no intoxicants allowed in the city, like Waycross, is so quiet that each day seems like Sunday. There are only three policemen, one for day and two for night. Rarely either of them have anything to do."
