LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

1903 June

County physician A.J. McClarney picked up Chas. Edwards, a Negro, at Crab Orchard. The man had smallpox and was placed in the pest house. He was thickly broken out but is doing well.

To Teachers – We have decided to hold our county institute for one week only this year in order, if possible, all the schools may be started before the first of August. At that time there will be a complete overhauling of the district and director under the new law.

When you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth go at once to W.S. DeGolia’s drug store and get a free sample of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver tablets. One or two doses will make you well. They also cure biliousness, sick headache and constipation.

1929 June

R.L. Hughes of Pomona found a half-dollar in some slag that had been hauled from South Pittsburgh. It bore the date 1845 and was very little worn. This 84 year-old coin as are American coins approximately 100 years old are rare.

When the gas tax goes into effect in Illinois August 1, every state and the District of Columbia will have a gas tax. The taxes produce vast sums which are most generously used in building and maintaining roads.

1993 June

Signed and numbered prints of the original Palace Theater painting by Bob Hoover went on sale. The proceeds go toward restoration of the Palace.

Congressman Jim Cooper appointed Benjamin J. Ford, son of Barry and Mary Ford, as a congressional page for the June 13 to July 10 session of the 1993 summer page term in Washington, D.C. Ben has completed his junior year at CCHS. Congressman Cooper said it is a high-honor to be chosen since there are only 66 pages chosen each term from all across the United States. Academic requirements are very strict. Ben plans to attend law school, practice law and become involved in politics.
