A local ad notes a full line of building materials and timber including brick lime cement doors windows and various woods for foundations and finishing. It also advertises a complete inventory of flooring and trims offered by Miss Margaret McComb who recently died at age 58 from pulmonary illness. The piece blends business notices with obituaries and court updates, plus community notices about the Excelsior Tennis Club and local probate matters.
John J. Culkin, 22, well known in Warren, died Sunday evening at his home after taking about forty grains of strychnine obtained from a drug store, apparently without the proprietor's knowledge. He told his mother he would die soon, physicians could not save him, and he lived about a half hour after revealing the act. Culkin worked as a laundry team driver and had visited the town several times weekly. Several unrelated court notes and town nuisance cases involving Patrick Hammill were also reported, with continuances and bonds set for next Monday.
