Review of the Week in Rock Island and Davenport
Local notes list residents traveling to Chicago and Durango, several visits with friends in Galesburg and Lyon Center, and moves by Ed Knell and others. Mentions include court cases, a bass regatta absence, a Davenport paper dispute, weather shifts aiding corn, and railroad improvements with the Tipton branch progress and new postal routing to Minnesota cities.
