Mail Rate Hike As 1864 War News Bring Updates
In July 1864 readers are urged to prepay Mail subscriptions at $2 yearly with advance payment and to notify if they wish to stop. The column reports local mill construction by Arnett and Orr, a new grist mill, a saw mill and factory, plus an expected shingle addition, costing $15,000 to $20,000 under Judge Arnett’s supervision. It notes miners enlisting in the Civil War, cemetery maintenance concerns, raft traffic on the river, and delays in brickwork for Front Street’s brick block.
