From the Lawrence Daily World for Feb. 17, 1911:

• “When court convened this morning, most of the sessions were occupied with the evidence in the partition suit entitled Helena Copp at al. vs. Mary M. Harris et al. It seems that half a dozen relatives have commenced litigation to secure a share in some Eudora property. It is a peculiarly worded codicil to a will which has caused all the trouble. The codicil says that the daughters of the affiant shall share the property in proportion to their service to the affiant during her past illness. Five lawyers and the court have now been asked to decide which of the daughters was really the most dutiful and hence entitled to the larger share of the estate.”
• “The city council of Larned voted to prohibit the playing of base ball on Sunday at City park. The vote was taken after a petition had been presented to the council, signed by 200 voters of the city.”
• “Few city people, except such as have previously lived in the country or have known something of the delights of ‘hogkilling time,’ know how to appreciate cracklin bread, but those few will never forget it, will ever cease to hold [it] in cherished memory. The average housewife, not raised in the South, knows little or nothing about it. Even in the South the art of making it is passing, and the present generation knows it not.”
