Diller telephones faced weather and lightning incidents while the town reported full operation of its system and Elsie McManes tended the exchange. Republicans listed county convention nominees. Misses Clausson Moreland attended Epworth League at Lincoln. A local joke about kissing a hired girl sparked editor backlash as residents twice protested his reporting.

Odell area history notes fifty years back
CB Rice moved his banking business from Endicott to Steele City fifty years ago. Rev S D Roberts was the Methodist Presiding Elder for this district half a century ago. Odell pursued a flouring mill project and later secured a vinegar factory, now reduced to a mere foundation. Fairbury quarantined Hollenberg over smallpox exposure. A running match drew Dillerites to Odell for a pursed race between Geo Hudson's sorrel mare and Billy Odell, won by Hudson. Landowners warned against hunting or fishing on their property after August 1, 1889, with penalties.
