Elgin News Notes and Local Advertisements
Local items from Elgin include marriage news of Gus Harrington and Miss May Prior at Postville, visitors and illnesses in town, and notices of printing services and sale bills. Frequent ads promote Dyspepsia tablets, ManZan for piles, pine tablets, and J. S. Bruce business visits with Kansas visitors. A large Modern Woodmen initiation in Mason City is described with a goat-drawn cart parade.
