The south Main street railroad crossing near The Weatherhead Company* leaves a lot to be desired!

Long, full dresses, bonnets, hymnals from the 1800's and a spirit of fun added to the worship service the latter part of November at Saint Andrew's United Methodist Church in observance of it’s 100th year as a church.

Enjoy Pictures

Dear Editor: We Senior Citizens of the Syracuse area enjoy very much seeing the pictures (like the one in last week’s issue) of the paving of the street in Syracuse, which brings back memories of the improvements which were made in Syracuse back in the early days. When I came to Syracuse in 1914, Syracuse had no pavement except the cross walks. It was the “Horse and Buggy Days.” Through the business district of Main and Huntington streets were hitch-racks on both sides of the streets, to hitch the horses when people came to town.

Our high school stood where the city parking lot now is. It was a city school and called The Syracuse High School. When the building began to get too small (I being a member of the school board), we spent considerable time in discussing our problems as how to meet the situation. And I will say that what makes this interesting, is the progress which has been made in these years gone bv. A. A. Pfingst
