Local notes from a rainy week in the burg
Rain abundance and town happenings fill the week. A newborn boy joins C O Templeton and wife, while Walter Templeton’s infant daughter passes away at five days. Without a minister, Robert Caldwell led services at home and Carl McNeely and others conducted the graveyard service.

The Fruitland hunting club hasn’t returned from the swamps, Co B Oatland ferries seven mules, the Szirkosky Company entertained locals for a good cause, and William Wessell traveled to St Louis for winter stock.
