1 Years Ago Jan. 28, 1915 Again and again the old appropriation comes to light in every legislature, for a State Fish Hatchery. This is an old story and we don’t believe the legislature this time will fall for it any quicker than in the past. The only branch hatchery that was ever worth a cent in this state was the Saratoga Station, and it was eventually lost. Now that we are to have the big government hatchery in this state, we will be able to make up for the dilatory action of the state in making up for fish planting. T...

There were four here for Bridge this week. We will be open on New Year’s Day as usual. We will be serving grilled ham and cheese sandwich and tomato soup. The rest of the meal is still up in the air, but it will be good. We would like to thank Jane Johnston for the beautiful flowers she sent for all the tables.

1 Years Ago Dec. 31, 1914 Nobody knows just how many poor simps are running loose in this world but the editor. No one knows how many people are running loose with the main spring broke, but the editor. Nobody knows how many men are running around with just gray matter enough in their heads to keep them out of asylums and pens. If there is any one thing that an editor does know, it is the character of the majority of the humans with which he comes in contact with every day. It would surprise the public to know, just how...
