In a curious note from the Hawkeye Beacon a trapping incident near the gron yields a tale of a young opossum and a friendly southern visitor. Reuben Woodson’s experience last week is highlighted as a fortunate event showing neighbors’ engagement with the scene.
A long scanned column records personal notices including a two week vacation for a Miller School teacher Selma Weibel, births to Clermont residents Albert Hadd and wife, and a new baby girl. It notes job openings at Clermont Power Plant, a local couple’s daughter born Saturday night, and community highlights such as local visits, a Des Moines stenographer returning to work after a fire scare, a dance at Carpenter's, and a large mining accident in Cherry Illinois with rescue efforts and community sympathy.
