The Clermont Courier is a weekly publication from Batavia Ohio printed by The Clermont Publishing Company. It lists Fortney Thomas Fortney as founder and editor with subscription rates at $1.00 per year and editors titled as Editor and Publisher and Managing Editor.
The article details the Salvation Army’s Catherine Booth Home and Hospital in Clermont County, aiding unwed mothers beyond hospitalization. It describes emotional recovery, housing, employment, adoption options, and the cost of care, noting 1951 statistics and urging donations to the local Clermont County Financial Campaign.
A reflective compare and contrast recounts how 1927 saw new radio, car brakes, and small merchants, while 1952 faces war, higher living costs, and shifting social norms. The piece notes progress in science, entertainment, and education, alongside rising crime and law violations, urging balance between war efforts and leisure.
The piece compares two rich men in Jesus’s episodes with Zacchaeus and the rich young ruler. It argues money can tempt or aid, and that salvation depends on submission to the Master rather than wealth. It ends noting wealth becomes sinful when louder than Christ’s voice.
E Q Crane of Clermont and Brown Counties practiced law after graduating Cincinnati Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1888. He also worked as an insurance agent and spent years in Batavia before moving to California. The piece notes 1896 political context and Crane’s GOP probate judge bid ending in defeat, while reporting on a local contest with a $2 prize for the best Clermont Album description.
