Local notes from Elgin and vicinity reflect holiday bustle
A patchwork of town life fills the page: farm visits in West Union and Farmersburg, shopping hints from Falk's and City Drug Store, and Christmas countdowns. Reports of poultry health, Rhode Island Red cockerels for sale, and a move by the Bessards near Elgin mingle with a car trip to Kansas City and a Maynard corn judging contest.
