Happenings of the Week in Phippsburg
The Independent Reporter notes a bigger school enrollment than in days past and recalls a rough era of strict masters and rough discipline at the old brick school on Pitch Pine hill. It mentions local social calls, road work, library provisions, church and school events, town finances, and various residents’ activities around Dromore, Bath, and the Basin. There are references to the Bowman family, Bowker and Warrington enterprises, and plans for a potential electric rail line, with fleeting notes on weather, politics, and local commerce.
