Curious Cormorant Brought To Monroe City
A local resident, William Whitmer, showcased a rare cormorant in Monroe City. The specimen, black with brown wing spots and a green-eyed purple mouth, measured like a mallard, with a cranelike neck and a hooked upper bill. A note recalls a boy named J B Gray who once was bitten by the bird. The piece discusses saloon revenue allocations and local drinking culture, mentioning a Monroe City annual tax of 1 775 with allocations to city county government and state. A red two year old steer of about 900 pounds from Henry Kendrick’s farm is advertised with a notice of reward for information on recovery.
