Local Notes Mix Shopping Ads and Community Life
Community notices crop up with item ads and society events. Baptist Missionary Society met at the Rickers home on West Frederick Street to study Africa while shipment updates for oranges and grapefruit from Florida arrive at the end of the passenger platform near the Erie freight house. New Era Westminster Guild hosted a Valentine themed gathering at the Dickson home on West Pleasant Street with a waffle supper and gifts. A birthday celebration marks Priscut’s 82nd at East Main Street, and St Valentine party details appear for the Corty City Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and local church groups. Additional items include lost keys, a legal case in New York state, coal and grocery ads, and a Poison liquor incident.
