Newton's Growth Tale and a guest's prophetic words
A local essay reflects on Newton's rapid growth from artesian water to a booming town. The writer recalls a distinguished guest, praising his integrity and learning, and notes historic milestones such as the 1805 water source, the Gorrel pond transformation, and an electric streetcar line. The piece hints the town’s population may surpass 4300 by 1906, with more details to come, and closes with personal reflections and a pledge to reveal the guest’s identity later.
