Gove County KansasNewspaper Items
|
Included are news items that pertained to Gove County with the primary area of interest being Jerome Township and the"Jerome Pickups" section of the newspaper.
I've been over the spelling, and I know there are typos, but that is how they were originally printed, so I kept to the original. If the news came from a certain section (like "Jerome Pickups"), I kept those together under the appropriate heading.
Graciously transcribed and contributed by Sheri Stittsworth Huerta in August 2004. THANK YOU Sheri for sharing and taking your time in transcribing so we all can enjoy and benefit from what you have.

Dr. McNAUGHTON removed a tick from the right ear of Leslie BROWN, Tuesday. He also removed one from Leon CRIPPEN’s ear, and a short time ago one was extracted from Bert BAKER’s little girl’s ear. Seems to be the style now a-days, but how to account for so many of them is a mystery.

"Jerome Pickups"
- A certain young gentleman of our vicinity, whose name I shall not mention for fear of molesting his health, thought to himself that he would go on a courting expedition but to his surprise the dog was told to meet him. He became so frightened that he took a lively pace for home and when he came to the river instead of turning a little to the right and crossing the bridge he dashed right through the river. Now you want to get on the good side of the old folks before making the attempt again. And we are satisfied your mother would rather SHE would have given you a mitten or a pair of them, if necessary, rather than to have the old folks resort to the faithful old dog.
