Old Land Mark Torn Down By Robert Roth In Ferdinand
Robert Roth tore down the remainder of an old landmark building that stood for over seventy years behind his residence. The former summer kitchen featured fine yellow poplar and black walnut timbers, with no knots, reflecting old building standards. The site now hosts a cottage on Main Street, near the historic Jasper and Troy road, with Ferdinand expected to continue changing in coming decades.

Gasoline Wagons From Louisville
The New York Sun reports on Indiana's Hon. William Elijah Cox who swore he would never ride in an automobile and would rely on God to avoid travel by car. The piece notes Cox hails from a district with few roads where ox team travel is common and jokes that constituents would expose him if he rode in a touring car in Washington. Jeff Davis is cited as having used a taxicab but Cox is depicted as unlikely to be caught unprepared.
