In the Lawrence Journal dated November 24 1908 readers are told that The Man From Home will please Lawrence theatergoers at the Willis Wood. The piece notes strong local interest and mentions prior show success and crowd anticipation.
A dubious 19th century remedy promotes a Dandelion mixture as a harmless cure for kidney and bladder disorders and rheumatic pains. The ad claims simple ingredients obtainable at any pharmacy and provides dosing after meals and before bed. It includes unrelated quoted dialog about a political candidate and a stray note on an election.
Students have adopted amateur theatricals with marked success and seek Mrs Fiske to visit. Her acting lessons are seen as far reaching and wholesome. The state university should host such a program, with a large student body willing to pay reasonable prices. Mr Fiske could draw a fall audience at a dollar, benefiting the school. The plan mirrors successes in eastern schools and could work here.
Public notice from the Lawrence Daily Journal November 13 1908 detailing a district court partition petition by William R Merys against Ebenezer H Merys Minnie Field Lottie Sperry Sarah Willis and Earl Merys regarding property in Lawrence Kansas including a house and lot with a 28th December 1908 deadline for response, costs and potential sale or appraisal. Also includes local business ads and the Union Pacific timetable for East and Westbound trains and local services in Lawrence Kansas.
An assortment of local business notices and services appears, including meat market details, dairy pricing, trunk delivery, home wiring, plumbing fittings, tire sales, and electrical estimates. The fragmentary ads reference Eliot Johns 1023 Mass St and Lawrence Union Transfer Co, plus a court notice about defendants in a Douglas County case.
