Big Rain and Freezing Melt Trigger Flooding on Local Roads
From the Monater Republican an army of notes reports roads washing out as the heavy rain and ice melt swell water levels. Local land deals include Lincoln Yocum buying the Alpert Smylar residence on West Liberty street and A J Slegenthaler adding a story to Wear Larwill street property. A Londonville lecture by Rev J C Campbell drew a fair crowd despite bad weather while farm land around the city shows prices rising, with the Hsumach tract near the Ubildop’s Home selling high. University course dates shift from April 24 to February 11 and a Congress bill promises extra pay for troops after muster out. Various local business and school notes fill the page with dates, offerings, and inquiries.
