Local Happenings and Milde’s Soda Water Ads
Local brief notes show a steady stream of community updates. Names such as H A Ulecke, H A Vogel, Manuel and Alvin Milde, Dr Ayers, Miss Boaz, J W Miller, Miss Irene Williams, and many others appear with visits, travel to the Cape, shopping at Hemnburg’s and Bruening Kerstner, and local business activity. The big cement plant at the Cape started its wheels Monday and Typhoid fever cases are noted as improving. The column pockets short notices on education, sales, entertainment, and social visits across Jackson, Burfordville, Fruitland, Oak Ridge, and Cape Girardeau.
