“Platter Bros. yesterday shipped another car load of horses and mules to the eastern market...

“The Wabash pay car made the employees here happy yesterday by a goodly distribution of cash...

“The water mains were tapped yesterday to supply the new building which will soon rise between the Browning House and the Corn Exchange.”

These are just a few items included in the “Little Cons” section of the Chillicothe Constitution from the 1800s and they are ones reprinted in a special section of today’s newspaper.

In observance of the newspaper’s sesquicentennial, a reflection of local history through the eyes of the newspaper will be published throughout June. The first 18-page section covering the 1800s is included in today’s newspaper and a decade will be featured each Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout June. The first section includes reproductions of newspapers from the 1800s and many historical photographs, published courtesy of Grand River Historical Society.
