ROBERTS and Miss Harriet A. SHRADER, all of Oskaloosa. An Independent boy gone! May Charlie and Hattie enjoy a life of prosperity and happiness.

The Oskaloosa Independent Jefferson County Saturday March 4, 1876 Fire!! A huge fire swept over the prairies east of town last Thursday night and Friday and destroyed between one and two hundred tons of hay for different persons. Dr. HOSFORD, six miles out of the Leavenworth road, is the heaviest loser we learn, about three-quarters of a mile of rail fence and seventy-five tons of hay belonging to him being consumed. Two men were seen acting in a suspicious manner just about the time and in the place that the first started, and is it supposed they set fire to the grass, and then rode off. If so, they ought to be in the penitentiary.

The Oskaloosa Independent Jefferson County Saturday February 19, 1876 We hear of a young lady teacher in District No.__, who attempted to punish a big boy, when the wicked fellow stooped and caught her by the ankles and jerking her feet from under her, caused her to sit down suddenly and forcibly. He's a bad boy, and ought to be ashamed of himself! Two wandering roosters met on Delaware street, and each claiming to be "cock of the walk" they had a combate then and there, witnesses by all the loafers who could congregate in time. We didn't learn which whipped-whether it was the yellow rooster with the red tail or the red rooster with the yellow tail. Mrs. James RUSSELL's children have been seriously ill with lung fever, but seem to be improving. A few other cases of fever in town. Mrs. Henry TAYLOR presented her "worser half" with a fine baby girl on Monday. More coal oil and kindling wood to be wasted some day! Considerable gambling has been going on in town, and several young men of whom better things are expected are becoming addicted to the evil habit. Boys, be careful! Horace DEMING has found a thirty-inch vein of coal on his place just west of town, and it seems to be a good article. If it holds out, we are going to start manufactories here and build two or three narrow gauge railroads. Walter EVANS stole a march on his friends, Monday evening, and was quietly married to Miss Ruth GRAFF. The band boys found it out, however, in thime to give him a serenade and everybody has been in to smoke with him.

The Colby Free Press Thomas County Thursday April 30, 1914 Colby Must Clean Up. The City officials and the county health officer have a few articles in this issue in regard to the clean up proposition that has been advocated here each year, but this time they are going at it more in earnest than ever before and the people to whom the notice appeals will have to get busy for sure and get their places cleaned up or it will be done by the city and charged up to them as taxes. Heretofore some have been paying attention to the notices while others have not but this year the law is going to be strictly enforced and everyone had better do as the notices state and save bother and expense. Remeber that the wagons will be around May 8th and if everything on your premises is piled up next to an alley they will haul it away free of charge. Colby is to be a clean city this year.
