Autumn Frosts Nips Corn as Portage Area Notes Shifts
A wave of early frosts affects crops with pumpkins touched and fodder being stored. Local reports include L R Cass attending a bankers convention in Indianapolis, family visits from Crown Point and Hebron, and plans for a Citizens and Peoples ticket in upcoming elections. Linemen rebuild lines, new phones go in, and Western Union crews depart for New Orleans. Community notices cover a Masonic meeting, a Halloween party, obituaries, and a will filing detailing a half million estate.
