* A new home for the Carroll County Historical Society's collection of records and memorabilia is nearing completion at 210 E. Main St., with the first activity planned for next week.

* A most impressive memorial service was conducted in the Armory by members of Carroll Post No. 31, American Legion, to our county War Dead on Armistice Day at 2 p.m. The closing of many of the stores and business places for several hours enabled many to join in paying honor to the glorious group of young men who have made the supreme sacrifice. A report places the number at 39 so far in World War No. 2. -- Democratic Advocate, Nov. 17, 1944.

* Judge Roberts gave an earnest charge to the grand jury, reminding them that it is their duty to inquire carefully into all alleged infractions of the criminal law and calling their special attention to a practice for some time prevalent in this county, which the court holds to be not only unlawful, but pernicious and evil in its influence upon young men, namely, the employment of slot machines of various devices, in playing for cigars and liquor, and the throwing of dice. -- American Sentinel, Nov. 17, 1894.
