Twelve Years Ago This Week
Under this heading we will reproduce a few important items from
the files of the Herald during its first year under the
present management just as a reminder of days gone by:
-Prof. McIntire assisted by Prof. Stich and Messrs. Scanland,
Moomaw and Hatten, will give a fine concert at Nishna Valley
church Saturday evening, October 5, exercises to commence at 8
o'clock. [Transcribers note: McIntire, the postmaster at Sidney,
for a number of years held singing schools throughout Fremont
county; Stich, a Sidney photographic 'artist', led a band in
Sidney.--W.F.]
-Joseph Webster returned this week to Sidney. Joe brings with him
a record of which he may be proud. He played three games with
Indianola's Champions without an error land got the onlh home-run
of the series.
-In the matter of the condemnation of the old fair grounds for
park purposes, the case was submitted to a jury Saturday for the
purpose of fixing the valuation per acre, and after hearing the
evidence the price per acre was fixed at $40, and on payment of
$660 the title of the old fair grounds will rest in the town of
Sidney......The case of the town of Sidney --VS-- C. M. and G. V.
Swearingen in the matter of the street leading into the old fair
grounds was tried to the court yesterday, and submitted. The town
claims it as a public street by dedication, having been used as
such for more than 25 years. The town wins.
Minutes of the Board of Supervisors: ....That the auditor be and
hereby is authorized to cancel the taxes of 1906 against Cyrus
Round, Riverton township, on account of his being an old soldier,
worth less than $600....
On Saturday evening September 28, at the pleasant home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. G. Malcom in Prairie township, a very nice surprise party
was held in honor of their daughter Cora's 18th and Mabel
Gordon's 21st birthday anniversaries. Various games and music
furnished entertainment until midnight when a splendid two-course
lap super was nicely served by the Misses Cora Gordon and Nellie
Kinglsolver and Mrs. Malcom. Each of the birthday cakes contained
a ring, a dime and a darning needle. The Misses Cora Gordon and
Mary Poulsom were lucky enough to find the rings, Lulu Magel and
Nellie Roberts the coins and Goldie Newlon and Frank Magel the
darning needles. This completed the evening's enjoyment and the
guests departed well pleased with the hospitality shown by Mr.
and Mrs. Malcom and wishing the young ladies happy times on many
such future occasions. The following is a list of those present:
Myrtle Anderson, Wilbur Baker, Blanch Carl, Worth Carl, Ada
Chapman, Lucius Eskew, Clyde Goodner, Mary Goodner, Mina Goodner,
