Town and country highlights from past Russell dates
A historical miscellany notes Mrs. Dutton selling a residence to Jas. R. Anderson of Silver Creek and other local property moves. It cites auctions at Jas. McKay, Ford Agency plans for Alex McDonagh and C.S. Shep herd, a potential town expansion, and a Hay and Feed Exchange Co elevator purchase. It records hockey and curling results, council plans to demolish the Russell rink, and mentions promotions, new hardware manager, and a Gold Medallion award for a local home. It closes with a note on charitable town fund raising and a quip about sweepstakes.
