1. It's fascinating to learn that it took sixty years from the time The War Between The States ended until our folks here within the Shenandoah Valley, who had bore much of the devastating effects of that war, got around to admitting that, "New matters too." [p.10 - April 1925].
2. Only one year later some of our valley families started installing indoor bathrooms [p. 11- 27 Dec 1926 and p. 14 - 28 Dec 1926].
3. An airplane wrecked in Elkton [p.10 - 18 Sept 1925].
4. Cover Tannery burned [p. 10 - 13 Dec 1925].
5. Mr. T.A. Merica store burned [p.11 - 28 Jan 1926].
6. G. Downey store burned down. [ p. 11 - 5 Feb 1926].
7. Merchand [Merchant?] Grocery. Safe robed [robbed] [p. 12 - 16 Mar 1926].
