Monroe and Union County Ten Years Ago Highlights
A long column from Monroe notes visits by Mrs. C. C. Sikes in Atlanta and Mrs. T. C. Cox in Wadesboro plus Mrs. Hettie Williamson in Lancaster and Mrs. Etta Griffin. It mentions cotton prices and social events, a mass farmers meeting at the courthouse, the Jackson Club supper, a reform bill by Senator Redwine, and a tale of Major Anderson recalling old friends with a traveling printer. The piece also covers juror lists for the upcoming Superior court term, local gossip, and a humorous reminiscence of a well digger and superstition anecdotes.
