A new Jail is a WIN for everyone in Edmund’s County After the closing of the Jail in Ipswich at the County building it has come to my attention that anyone that is detained by the Edmund’s County Sheriff has to be transported to the nearest jail that has room. This causes an issue for the safety of the residents of Edmund’s County. We currently have five law enforcement officers - a Sheriff and four deputies. With Edmunds County covering 1151 square miles, our safety is at risk if one of the deputies has to transport a prisoner out of the C...

From the Ipswich Tribune December 19, 1929 edition Early Substitutes for the Modern Toothbrush Toothbrushes are quite a modern invention.

Boites) to put them in.” There is another reference to these, in a later volume of the Mehoirs, as “teeth brushes.” “Turkish toothbrus...
