The social news or gossip columns in the old newspapers are always fascinating to read. A special section in the newspaper was devoted to the social media of the day. The whereabouts of local people and events were often featured in these columns. Here are a few from The News Messenger of Lyon County on January 3, 1908:
The graduates for the year 1905 of the Marshall High School held a class party in the Woodmen hall on Tuesday evening of this week. Of a class of 28 there were 20 who were able to be present. Music, games and light refreshments furnished entertainment for the evening.
