Baxter Springs News Briefs and Local Notices
A long local column recounts house and land sale offers, river flood notes, visitors such as Lenora Cullison and Mrs. Thompson, and social events. It reports awards at a memorial day service, mining weather impacts, a dam washout, and several town updates. Postmaster Fred Bartlett is confirmed, Charlie Collins returns from cattle trips, and local sport details include a Carthage Ramblers versus Joplin Night Owls game. The piece notes near-drowning incident on the river, a fire chief obituary, and civic stories including Lena Smith funding a concrete walk. It closes with political chatter on Ralph Martin for Cherokee County sheriff and other local civic items.
