Life in Viroqua from the Vernon County Censor:
SEPT. 1, 1926
Primary election falls on next Tuesday – and because this is the last issue before election, this week’s Censor is pretty well given over to the candidates... Regardless of whom you may vote for – no matter whether you agree with the editor or not – we urge all our readers to get out and vote.
The Dial intended to pay a little compliment last week to the Rusk Comedy Co., but unintentionally overlooked the matter. Mr. Rusk and his company played a week’s strand here previous to the fair, selling remedies and putting on a spicy vaudeville show at the same time. Their bi [sic] tent in North Side Park was filled every night. Everyone connected with the show has some place to fill and fills it well... Boscobel Dial.
Viola, August 25 – The rain of Friday caused such a surplus of water in the Kickapoo Valley that LaFarge dam went out, and we are now experiencing our annual flood. The roads leading to LaFarge, Manning and up Camp Creek are all under several feet of water and the usual inconveniences of high water are ours for the time being... So many large rattlesnakes have been killed in this vicinity this summer. In the hay fields, on roads, in wooded hills. They seem to be wandering about. But they are becoming less as many have been killed.
