From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 25, 1911:

• “Twenty-five dollars reward is offered by Irving Hill in the hopes of catching the men who are trying to help themselves to the cement that is stacked up for work at the new Bowersock Opera House building. Last night two men with a wagon drove up to the building and took away two sacks of cement. They were about to help themselves to more when the waterman took after them. Instead of dropping the sacks the men drove away. Two sacks of cement are not so costly, but it is necessary to put a stop to this sort of thievery. If this were kept up the final loss would be quite heavy.”
• “Charles Teter, one of the best known grocers in the city, is now in charge of the Stanley Grocery at 1033 Massachusetts, having closed the deal for the store yesterday afternoon. For many years, Mr. Teter ran the Star Grocery at 1337 Mass. street where he made a success. It is his intention to do a strictly cash business and to make the store one of the best known of the city.”
• “Many people about town are complaining of grippe. The doctors say that it is being passed around as usual for the grippe germ is very catching.”
