Library blooms with books in Knoxville grant era
The Pella Chronicle notes Knoxville’s Carnegie library finally has books gifted by South Dakota residents. It questions how maintenance will be funded and whether county aid was sought. The piece also covers Prof. M L Bowman’s editorship of Corn, U.S. Supreme Court affirmation of rail fare regulation, and veteran affairs including G A R encampment fatigue and a possible pardon for Oren McPherson. It critiques Illinois lawmaking and urges Iowa citizens to study the initiative and referendum question before the next general assembly.
