Editor’s note We’re continuing our tradition of taking a look back each Saturday at some of the important, interesting or even odd events as they were reported during the same week throughout the years, along with interesting advertising features from years gone by.
This week in 1883, the Hillsborough Gazette reported that railroad mail deliveries would arrive daily, except Sunday, at 5:45 a.m., 1:20 p.m. and 6:25 p.m., and that the post office would be open to transact business Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
