Mistletoe mischief and town notes in Iowa pages
A verse on a cheeky mistletoe moment opens a county seat page, followed by local business and social notes. Readers learn of visits from Elgin to Oelwein, court trips to Manchester, and a wide array of residents traveling, visiting relatives, or attending events. Highlights include poultry shows in Iowa Falls, a Rhode Island Reds prize tally, and Rev. James L. Hill’s photo collection for Grinnell Iowa College. Oelwein pursues a second factory to hire 225 workers.
