Liberty Herald, spring 1916
Joshua Davis, the first man in the county to buy an automobile, is fully organized again as a motorist for the 1916 season, having made a deal whereby he exchanges the cars possessed by both himself and his son J.H. Davis, for three Franklins and one Ford.
Three large Premier cars and a Buick runabout were disposed of in the trade.
The father and son will each drive a Franklin touring car and Mrs. Davis will drive a Franklin Runabout, while the Ford will be used to look after farming interests by J.H. Davis.
Mr. Davis spent several days in Indianapolis last week and procured one of the new cars.
Motor Mail Service
Richmond and Wayne County has had an experience with a so-called motorized rural mail delivery service that has been a signal failure, and patrons on the routes have petitioned for the restoration of the horse-delivery and the old routes and carriers.
No. 5 mail carrier could not make his round as usual on account of the East Fork being so high, Monday. (Whitewater River, Dunlapsville)
Here it Is
(Cambridge City Tribune)
Finly Gray (Democrat congressman) says that the opposition to his renomination and the result of John Lontz's candidacy rests with two men who wanted to be postmaster of their respective towns and were turned down by men whom the people wanted. Local post offices have a curious effect on men's politics sometimes.

Apples, Apples
J.O. Sample has 125 barrels of apples on sale in the room next to C.F. Bond's Department Store. The quality and variety is good. They're good eaters and cookers. Call and see. Prices right.
