A wide array of local notes from Emmetsburg and surrounds. Residents traveling, visitors from Ruthven, Perry, and Sheldon, and multiple accounts of social visits, baptisms, and school events fill the week. Notable items include births, graduations, church notices, and preparations for upcoming gatherings and repairs around town.
A six room cottage in good condition with dry cellar city water and cistern lies in the east part of the city. John Doran is the owner.
At a court house meeting on Thursday and a prior Tuesday gathering, Emmetsburg decided not to hold a Fourth of July celebration this year. Figures showed mixed support as a five-person committee led by Hoelzner was formed, then members voiced indifference and rescinded the motion to proceed. Citizens expressed unity or opposition to such undertakings, and the paper notes the town’s ambivalence toward celebratory events.
The county teachers verdicts praise last week’s institute as one of the best they attended. Enrollment reached a three year high and four weeks of focused work led to notable achievement. Superintendent Lille Patton commends the teachers for progress in county schools.
