True Prophetic Vision From an 1883 La Fayette Chronicle
An old La Fayette building being torn down revealed a paper dated March 13 1883. The clipped item described La Fayette as a prospective town hub in Yamhill County with McMinnville a rival and named nearby towns. It mentions Newberg growth and warns about subscriptions and wall paper use. Oregon Historical Society preserves copies for posterity.
