Local notes mix progress reports and tragedy across Missouri
A scattered 1918 era column reports public works funding for scales for livestock stockyards and a school influenza ban, plus home visits as teachers continue lessons. It notes a hunting accident injuring a companion, a lieutenant’s death in France, wool sale changes, and plans for a Missouri library book drive. It also covers fair plans, a Kirksville postmaster’s death, disease trends, and legislative session previews.
