The Hardin News Papers from Hardin, MO, from February 1906 to February 1907.

Carol Richards found a bound copy at a swap meet. They are in sad condition, very brown and crumbling. There are so many little paragraphs about who visited whom from where. And small things about people from the next county but well known there. This paper was printed only once a week but three of the four pages seem to be local news. The fourth is state and national. Quite a large article about Alice Roosevelt's whitehouse wedding. The local adds are neat too, who worked at the bank or store.

Carol has offered to transcribe the newspaper clippings for contribution to the Ray County Archives. Thank you!
