Transcriber's Note: I've refrained from copying articles that do not include
names of residents, some of the colloquial terms we'll have to guess at the
meaning of, present day capitals used on certain words were not used then.
Fraternity names and organizations I am not familiar with. Advertisements 
placed in the newspaper were coded for easy identification in later issues.
