Tom Collins had an unpleasant experience Sunday while at work doing the night chores in the barn. He fell from the haymow onto a cement floor, receiving a severe shaking up and a number of bruises, but no bones were broken. Yorkville: From all appearances, Kendall county political circles will become heated centers of much discussion in the next few months until the primaries. Rumor has it that there will be aspirants to very office open. If all these contenders file, a very interesting election should result. At high noon today, Miss Margaret McMichael, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McMichael, became the bride of James H. Goudie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Goudie of Oswego, in the presence of some 40 relatives and guests, with the Rev. Homer Mitchell of Bay City, Mich., brother-in-law of the bride, officiating. After a wedding trip south to New Orleans, Mr. and Mrs. Goudie will be at home on Springmere farm, NaAuSay. The bride attended Rockford college and was graduated from Northern Illinois Teachers college at DeKalb and has since been an instructor in the Rockford schools. Mr. Goudie attended the University of Illinois. --Rockford Republic, Dec. 28. Jan. 15: The Busy Bee club held their annual family meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson on Friday, Jan. 10. A good program was given following an excellent picnic dinner. Old Man Winter pulled all the levers and gave us rain and snow, sleet and cold winds during the past week. As five men were going to work at the Lyon Metallic Company one of the icy mornings last week, the auto driven and owned by Peter Jacobson slipped into the ditch on Route 18 and turned over. The car was demolished but the men were able to go to work except Earl Hibbard, who was so bruised and cut that he lost one day’s time. Mrs. Albert Woolley saw a robin in their yard last week. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Campbell have another little daughter, born Monday, Jan. 13. Yorkville: We were rather disheartened last week to find Chicago in the hands of the pacifists. The school board voted down the ROTC units in Chicago schools. Their grip didn’t last, however, for patriotic organizations brought their influence to bear and the appropriation was allowed. Jan. 22: The official temperature Saturday morning, Jan. 18, was 15 degrees below zero, but local thermometers ranged much lower. Many who were attending social affairs on Friday evening had frozen automobiles, causing much work and trouble in the sub-zero temperatures. What might have been a very serious fire occurred in the basement of the W.J. Morse home Tuesday morning, Jan. 14. Smelling smoke, Mrs. Morse and daughter, Marjorie Shoger, hurried to the basement and on opening the furnace room door found the coal bin partition in flames and the floor above scorched. Mrs. Morse turned a hose on and extinguished the flames before the fire department arrived with chemicals. It was thought to have started from spontaneous combustion in a basket of refuse used to start the furnace fire. The sophomore class and the teachers of the Oswego high school enjoyed a party at the home of Inez Skeen Wednesday evening, Jan. 15.

Yorkville: It is high time that Kendall County had a representative of its own in the State Assembly. Millions of dollars are voted in taxes down at Springfield and the taxpayers of Kendall county must help pay the bill although out county has no direct representation. Representatives from industrial counties are apt to be more influenced by their immediate constituency and may sometimes forget the needs of a smaller rural county. This year, the 14th district, Kane and Kendall counties, will have an opportunity to vote for a well-qualified candidate for the Republican nomination who is a resident of Kendall county in the person of Mrs. Roy F. Hoadley. Jan. 29: Residents of Oswego were saddened by two deaths recently, that of the wife and father of Andrew A. Peterson. Mrs. Peterson, who had been in the hospital about a week, was decidedly worse on Saturday and passed away Sunday Jan 26. The aged father, Olaf Peterson, who had lived in or near Oswego for many years, died Saturday night, Jan. 25, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Schmidt on the West River Road. Mrs. Oscar Shoger and infant son Ross came home from the hospital Jan. 21. Mrs. Wayne Denney and Mrs. Allen Campbell with their baby daughters also returned to their homes last week. The Frank Collins family are moving to their new home near Yorkville. Mr. Ernest Biesemeier broke his right leg below the hip Monday evening when he slipped and fell on the ice at the depot. He was going for the 5 o’clock mail when the misfortune occurred. The original manuscript of “Black Hawk,” written by the Rev. J.R.E. Craighead of Creston, Ia., formerly of Oswego, is now in the hands of the critics and when their work is completed the story will be published in book form. While out hunting recently, Lester and Howard Johnson saw a fox. Though they tracked it for some distance they were unable to get it. Mr. and Mrs. Emmerson Macy, living out on the Grove Road, have a baby son, named Theodore Robert, born Jan. 24. Mrs. Macy’s mother from Missouri is here with her. Basketball at Plattville Armory Saturday night, Feb. 1, Co. E vs. Joliet Wirwells. Yorkville: The spirit of “get through” characteristic of the rural mail service was exemplified last Saturday when Miss Myrtle Belden, carrier on Yorkville Route One, arrived at the Post Office at 6:35 after a day of bucking snow drifts and mechanical breakdown. From the smile on her face at her arrival we thought it was a chicken dinner that delayed her, but found that it was hard luck. How many men could display the same spirit of cheerfulness in a similar circumstance. February -- 1930 Feb. 5: The pupils of the Walker school staged a surprise party for their teacher, Catherine Coselman, for her birthday Jan. 31. After the regular Friday afternoon programs given by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, popcorn and candy were served; then a freezer of delicious ice cream and cake and frosted crackers made a birthday party enjoyed by all. Slade Cutter was home from Elmhurst College for the weekend. There was much excitement Saturday east of Oswego when Frank Skeen shot and killed a wolf on the Arthur Hummel farm. Another wolf was seen several times but although many hunters patrolled the roads Saturday and Sunday they were unable to shoot the second one. The service of music regularly held on the first Sunday evening of each month at the Presbyterian Church was much enjoyed by a large audience. Yorkville: Every week we must disappoint someone by not setting up and printing some lengthy manuscript representing either some selfish whim or a real desire to help as the case may be. We are only two glad to publish something that will be of general interest but we cannot put our machine on it the first three days of the week. If you send in some article after Friday, don’t call us up the following Wednesday and read us the “riot act” for not printing it. We must have time. For several months, we have been interested listeners of that firebrand, W.K. Henderson, who is the owner and operator of radio station KWKH located at Shreveport, La. Mr. Henderson, during that time, has conducted a remarkably able campaign against the Foreign Chain Store Menace. The stock and fixtures of the Merrill Starkweather store at Lisbon Center will be sold at public auction commencing Feb.

  • Case Study Proving Newspapers Work: Integrated Inserts
    CASE STUDY PROVING NEWSPAPERS WORK: INTEGRATED INSERTS The Challenge With many retailers offering some grocery products, from drug retailers to mass merchandisers to local fruit and vegetable shops, a local grocery store wanted to make sure it stood out. The Objective To position Claytons Heritage Market as the best grocery shopping option with roots in the community. The Plan For groceries, Canadians, by far, consult newspapers for information. 59% of Canadians refer to newspapers (print or online) to source this information - outscoring the next media, online (not newspaper), by three times!1 Also 60% of consumers are more likely to engage with an ad if its location is relevant to them.2 Claytons Heritage Market decided to use local newspapers to communicate its “locally owned and operated” message. It is the right medium to connect with the community. Rather than adding an insert to the distribution of the paper, its two-page ads are integrated into the newspaper in two locations – always appearing on page 15 & 16 and on pages 57 & 58. Claytons holds these positions in every edition so that the community knows where to look for their weekly features. Furthermore, the two pages on 15/16 are on the same sheet as the two pages at the back allowing shoppers to pull the ads out of the paper and use it just like they would a flyer. This way Claytons leverages the power of being within the pages of the newspaper as well as the look and feel of a flyer for those wanting to pull it out and take with them.
