Algona Week in Review Highlights Local Visitors and Events
Frank Derner and T S Robertson visited Algona on business while many residents circulated in nearby towns. Local notices recount health troubles, travels to Chicago and Florida, farm sales, a burnt packing house, new business ventures, school plays, and the birth of a son. The piece notes railway delays blamed on engine shortages, a new poultry association, and the formation of a Kossuth historical society with officers and dues.
