Glenwood golf grounds are greatly improving

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, August 16, 1923.

The annual convention of the Rural Letter Carriers Association at Glenwood is now history and the delegation that came from all corners of the state have returned back to their respective homes. Glenwood is pleased to have welcomed such fine numbers of people as the mail carriers and their wives. With such an army of wide-awake, efficient men we need not wonder why there is so small complaint on the rural routes mail service.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, August 16, 1923. 

The Glenwood golf grounds are improving right along. Last spring considerable work was done on the grounds. New greens were laid out. They were leveled off and grass was sown, but the grass for some reason did not grow. The rest of the grounds are kept in good shape by Mr. Andert who, with his team, is keeping the grass down and otherwise improving the grounds. Mr. Meyers, an expert golfer, has laid out nine temporary holes. Only five holes had been in shape up to the present time. 

During the electric storm Monday morning, Col. Arthur Hutchins’ new barn was struck by lightning. It splintered the barn up some and started a fire in some hay. It was noticed at once and extinguished. The barn was entirely new, Mr. Hutchins’ barn burned down this spring and this was the barn that he had just erected to take the place of the one that burned.

Mr. Vollrath’s three bungalows which he has erected on Chestnut Street are now all ready and occupied. These residences are fine additions to the Glenwood residence district and when a little time is given so that the lawn can be gotten in shape and shrubbery set out and developed they will be very desirable as residences.

GH: Parents value their children’s photographs, and the older the pictures are the more valuable they become. But these same parents seem to forget that they themselves are changing and should have their portraits made. Are not the children entitled to good pictures of mother and father? Voss Studio.

Grover Krapes returned last Saturday evening from the school for the blind at Faribault which he has been attending this summer. While there he learned to make brooms, mats and pattern rugs and took typewriting. He has become quite proficient in this work and anyone who has any work of this kind to do can help themselves and Mr. Krapes in having him do work of this kind. He now has his shop in the basement of the Rogers Hotel, where he makes rugs, hammocks, baskets and doormats. Bring him rags from which to make rugs. He also has a fine line of household remedies and toilet articles.
