HARTINGTON — Three Hartington firms and more than a dozen other proprietors over the county were on the line early today when the legal turning of keg faucets and jerking of bottle caps marked the opening of the era of legalized beer in Nebraska, beginning immediately after 12 o’clock last night.
The bill passed by the recent legislature making the sale of 3.2 beer legal in the state, failed to go through with the emergency clause, so that prospective purveyors have been jerking at the reins for the past three months.
Necessity of “shelling out” $90 in order to obtain a license to sell beer is believed to have deterred many Hartington soft drink parlors and cafes from seeking permission to sell the beverage. Meeting Tuesday night, the city council granted licenses to C.P. Garvey, Lloyd Lynde, and Magnus Jacobson, who took over the Jack Lammers parlor.
Aug 4, 1938 WYNOT — Credit is due the Wynot Volunteer Firemen for excellent appearance of the little park known as Tellesen Park. With the young trees growing rapidly and the grass being taken care of by the firemen, this little plot of ground makes a bright spot in the downtown district.
The public school campus under the care of Anton Demulling, merits much praise from early spring till late fall. The school grounds are beautiful and would do credit to a much larger town.
As usual the yard of Dr. G.H. Schulte is especially beautiful. With shrubs and flowers of such varieties that many kinds are in bloom each month of the summer, this yard is a pleasant site to see.

RANDOLPH — A new, neatly built schoolhouse has replaced the old Benson schoolhouse five miles north of Randolph on the church road. The schoolhouse is equipped with a furnace and outside chimney.
