100 Years Ago: Spicy bits from the front page of the News By "Jim" The short entries on the front page of the July 20, 1910 News were considerably more interesting - "spicier," in the parlance of the day - than were the longer articles with their splashy headlines. (Among the latter: a suicide in the Fairplay community, a murder in Jamestown, the previously secret marriage of Leondis Braxton "Brack" Cain and Alice Murrell revealed, and a report of the statewide crop damage wrought by the heavy July rains.) Perhaps you, gentle CM reader, can forgive some of the headlines created for the following tidbits, as your humble contributor made them up well past supper and long before breakfast, in that murky mental twilight between one pill wearing off and another kicking in. They Went This-a-way and That-a-way(The Columbia Steam Laundry opened around the middle of 1905 and had "two beginnings and two endings before Mr. Rasner took charge" in 1907 and "one by one built a successful patronage." In early 1909, the Rasners moved the business from the Campbellsville Pike to Jamestown Hill. On Sunday night, December 11, 1910, the laundry burned, and the News stated that "four or five small boys were playing in the laundry [earlier that day], and it is thought perhaps they had a fire and did not extinguish it when they left.")
