NICE TODAY.....A LITTLE HUMID....84 THE HIGH.

THE ANDOVER BANK IN CLINTON COUNTY WAS ROBBED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT 3:30. HE WAS CAUGHT IN A CORN FIELD AROUND 9:30 LAST NIGHT AND IS IN JAIL.

THE CLINTON ENGINES MUSEUM CELEBRATES ITS FIRST ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW
(SATURDAY) MORNING WITH A WAFFLE BREAKFAST. FREE ADMISSION TO THE
MUSEUM AND $7 FOR THE BREAKFAST. EVERYONE IS INVITED.
IT'S A GREAT MUSEUM! EVEN IF YOU NEVER WORKED AT THE PLANT...OR NEVER HEARD OF THE ENGINES.....THE MUSEUM IS INTERESTING.

SCHOOL STARTS IN MAQUOKETA NEXT WEDNESDAY. I MAY HAVE MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IT STARTED THIS MONDAY.
