The Dillon Herald discusses wartime road labor, army propaganda cuts, and political temper. It notes 2,800 papers served, calls for sensible mail and paid print needs, urges calm campaigning, and highlights teacher shortages with 25,000 teachers needed and 75,000 underqualified.
A compact summary notes that many farms are owned by city and village residents, not just rural holders, with farm property values rising from 41.0 billion in 1910 to 51.0 billion in 1919. It also records Marion County authority to levy a mill tax for state and county needs, allocate funds for interest and a sinking fund, plus sections directing road and bridge work to begin by Sept. 1, 1920, contingent on fund availability and governor approval.
A state highway obligation funds half the cost under a contract. Sections describe county officers in Marion Florence Charleston Dillon and other areas to arrange payment of interest and create a sinking fund to retire notes issued by the commission.
We thank many kind friends for their un tiring help during the illness and death of our beloved son and brother Harry. We will always have a warm place in our hearts for each.
