100 Years Ago

Herald of Nov. 21, 1919

A Boys Judging Contest with corn will feature the large corn exhibit being held in Williamsburg on December 6. Exhibits of corn have been coming in and have been placed in the First National Bank of that place for more than a month. A great deal of interest has developed in the townships tributary to Williamsburg and the exhibit will probably be one of the largest of its kind ever held in the county. Directions for choosing the exhibit, as well as rules governing the awarding of prizes have been sent to several hundred farmers.

Automobile owners will have to get acquainted with their cars between now and January 1, 1920, when the new state license forms will become operative. Alderman and justices of the peace, as well as notary publics are receiving questionnaire giving the information that must be secured from every automobile owner filling out the 1920 information. One of the big features of the 1920 license blank is the question to whether any owner of the car was ever arrested by any officer of the law for a vehicle violation.
