No coal for Christmas

Brookville Democrat, Dec 1919


Brookville Cut Off 
From Outside World

Owing to the discontinuance of the 9:38 a.m. and the 3:38 p.m. trains, in order to conserve coal, Brookville people will not know what is going on in the outside world until evening, as the Cincinnati and Indianapolis morning papers will reach here on the 6:44 p.m. train, which also brings the Cincinnati evening papers.

It also completely demoralizes the mail service, which will be from 12 to 24 hours late, and hundreds of Franklin County farmers who take an Indianapolis morning paper will receive it one day late.

We hope that the settlement of the coal strike, announced in Tuesday night's papers, will make the restoration of the former train and mail service possible in a very short time.

General Repair Shop

I have started a repair shop in Fairfield in rear of Jinks' store and invite customers to call who want feed ground, axes sharpened or automobiles repaired; in fact repairing of every kind. All work guaranteed.
