Dixon News Highlights School Progress and City Growth
The Dixon Sun notes Palmyra and Edena schools improving with skilled teachers, and marks Charley Curran’s retirement from the post office desk. It reports bands of tramps, marriage licenses, cigarette laws, and a grand centennial plan with Judge Gresham possibly speaking. The piece also praises local industry, outlines a new fire escape law, and records Civic Association efforts toward roads and housing near the Anglo Swiss Condensed Milk plant.
