RANDOLPH - The local golf course is in the best shape that it has ever been according to some of the rabid fans who have visited the grounds every day this week. The greens have been rolled and mowed and consequently scores have been lowered, on the average from five to ten shots for the nine holes.
The fairways are in excellent condition and the rains of the past week have made the course green and soft. A number of visitors have played the Randolph course this week and pronounce it one of the best new courses they have ever seen.

RANDOLPH - The Havorka Baking Co. last week received their new $2,000 Violano Virtuoso and have installed it in their cafe. Of all the inventions to produce music mechanically, this is undoubtedly the most successful.
The instrument produces orchestra music, piano and violin. It has nothing of the tin-pan rattie variety generally found in instruments of this kind but is really something high class and beautiful.
The United States patent office has pronounced it one of the eight greatest inventions of the decade, and the government has installed two of the instruments, one in Harding Hall and the other in the department of printing in Washington.

RANDOLPH - New gutters and new cornice boards were put in at St. Frances school building this week, to replace those that had rusted and rotted to the point of being useless. The window jams are also being painted and the building put in first class repair for the coming school year.

RANDOLPH - Six was the total number of patients reporting to Randolph M. D.’s as the result of fireworks accidents.
Wendell Andrews, 10-year-old son of Rev. Joseph Andrews, sustained a burned eye when a “sizzler” which he was making went off near his head.
The burn is rather serious but fortunately his eyesight will probably not be impaired by the injury.
Mrs. Henry Rudebusch sitting on a bench in front of a Randolph business place was hit in the eye by a flying stone from a torpedo thrown under her feet by some youngsters. Her eye ball was slightly bruised and the under lid was severely bruised.
Elmer Rinehart, 13 year-old-son of Robt. Rinehart, sustained a painful burn when a firecracker which he was holding exploded in his hand.
The palm and fingers of his hand were slightly scorched by the explosion. A similar accident was reported to a young boy from Wausa whose name was not learned.
Donald DeLance received a slight burn on his neck Sunday afternoon when a boy companion threw a firecracker at him which exploded on his back. Rose Ronspies sustained a scorched arm earlier in the week as the result of a firecracker explosion.
