The Patoka Register is designated a second class mail matter with filing date November 2, 1907, at the Patoka Illinois post office under the March 8 1879 act.
The Patoka Register reviews 1955 as a year of progress with fire equipment upgrades, street resurfacing, a new sales tax share, and a modern white way in the business district. It urges continued community improvement and invites citizen suggestions while noting November 1955 bond sales totals in Marion County.
An unsigned letter criticizing Patoka’s Christmas decorations prompts a call for the sender’s name to publish. The note nudges a village Christmas decoration contest next year and urges drivers to be cautious. It also references a fertilizer-ordering push for 1956 grain and crops.
