Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 21, 1907: “The first call for converts was made last night at the Biederwolf revival meeting and tonight is Farmer Night to highlight the contributions of our rural citizens. : The College of Emporia says it is going to quit playing football. Critics say it began to quit the game some time ago due to its poor teams. : The police department of Fort Scott has captured three young Indians who had escaped from Haskell College in Lawrence. They were found at the train station seeking a way to get back to their home territories.”
