The Moran Herald, Morans official newspaper for the first half of the 20th century, was like most others of that era, filled with local items of varying levels of newsworthiness, club reports and other bits of gossip.
Occasionally, through the prism of history, some articles stand out more than others.
Mitch Bolling, owner of Moran Locker, unearthed one such Herald edition, dated March 19, 1925, while helping clean out a vacant house in downtown Moran recently.
Conspicuous on the front page is a report of a political rally of sorts from two days prior.
The rally came complete with a municipal band performance, young ladies dressed in their finest gowns serving as ushers and an address from the Rev. Carpenter (first name unavailable) of Ottawa. The Peoples Theatre was packed to hear what the good Reverend had to say.
