The way it was 6/3

100 Years Ago -- June 3, 1903

FROM FAIRHAVEN --Dan Marshal lost a horse one day last week. Bob Williams of Montevallo was here last week inspecting the meal and feed mill belonging to George Parker, which the latter is offering for sale or trade. Should Mr. Williams buy the mill, we will gladly welcome him to our village. Pasture is free here notwithstanding the state, county and town law. Some here who have no respect for the welfare of the village or the law are pasturing on the vacant lots and streets lying out, if it is lawful for the town people to pasture, it is for the country people also. Ture & Sons had a large window glass broken out of their store Sunday. Boys should be very careful and not box on store porches. 75 Years Ago -- June 3, 1928 D.I. Horn of Dedrick has found, he thinks, a new way to plant corn that not only expedites the work but saves both time and effort. The plan Horn has evolved was rather unique and is as follows: he began at the outer edge of his thirty acre field, using a two row cultivator and instead of planting in parallel rows across the field, Horns described a circle beginning at the outer edge of the field and finishing at the center.

50 Years Ago -- June 3, 1953

FROM KANSAS CITY -- The Chevrolet Corvette, a new type of American sports car which will go on display at the GM Motorama is going into production this month, according to word from T.H.Kleatling, Chevrolet General Manager, who is coming to Kansas city for the big auto show in Municipal Auditorium June 6-14. The sleek and gracefully low Corvette is the only one the GM special cars shown in Motorama that is presently going into production and Kleatling said that fifty a month would be built under the initial schedule. The production cars, Kleatling affirmed, will have plastic fiberglass bodies. AROUND TOWN -- In a relatively brief and quiet session last night, the Nevada City Council softened a bit its previous stern attitude toward taverns in the downtown business district. About a year ago, the City Fathers decreed that no new licenses would be granted to business' selling beer on or within one block of the Square and that when present taverns either closed or were sold, their beer licenses would lapse. The Council repealed the old ordinance and passed a new one, which provides beer licenses, shall be issued for establishments on the Square or within one block of the Square.
