Alma Lyceum and Chautauqua Association Forms
A meeting in the First State Bank directors’ room leads to uniting Alma Chautauqua and Lyceum committees into the Alma Lyceum and Chautauqua Association. Officers elected include Hira C. Moore president, Rev J. Frank Jackson secretary, John T. Ewing treasurer. A constitution and by laws committee is named, with a plan to perfect the organization by Aug 16. The move aims to provide year round wholesome entertainment and counter lower quality shows.

Local merchants urge buying at home in Alma ads
Alma merchants promote home trade and services from hardware to groceries. Notices tout Deanery of local firms, Roller Mills, Rexall drugs, paper sales, lumber and plumbing, and a moral on avoiding mail order humbugs. The piece blends ads with a promotional essay on supporting local business and frugal, fair treatment.
