Local notes reveal fires, marriages, trials and town growth
A dense Freedom era dispatch from Crystal Springs to Meridian chronicles fires in Morton and Monticello, a new eight page Meteor edition, a large union of Woodmen at McLaurin, and the State Epworth League closing its Meridian meeting. It notes Marriages of John Bass to Katie O’Hara and Jus Birdsong to Angie Fox, plus a $15,100 court house contract for Indianola and a Sharp end to a life in Greenwood as Dr J P Henry dies.
