The former Ipswich Masonic Temple was added to the National Register of Historic Places in June this year. The building, built in 1922, has had several purposes, the last was as home to the Tiger Post after-school program. Todd Hettich acquired the former Tiger Post and has been remodelling the facility. The roof has been replaced and they have been busy inside also. "The lower level is almost complete," said Hettich. "We are planning to make that an arcade/game room to be called Tiger Zone,"...
Everything is so seasonally related, especially when we are transitioning to autumn leaves instead of cotton balls from that very same tree. But with climate change apparently in progress, it's beginning to seem like we haven't been experiencing those traditional lengthy spring and fall seasons that we used to enjoy. The weather certainly seems more unpredictable, though, so things could always change, especially on a short-term basis. So merchants are attempting to do their seasonal end of the summer sales campaigns as usual, especially with t...
Editor’s Note: This story appeared in the August 26, 1920 Edmunds County Democrat. The United States gets equal suffrage. Washington and Tennessee have ratified the constitutional amendment.

If you haven't had a chance to see a Aqua Addicts water ski show this summer you are running out of time. Their last show is Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. The show presented at Dahme Lake south of Aberdeen is about an hour in length. This year's theme is "Gettin' Hitched." It is a story about a country girls wedding and all the events that are involved. There is plenty of bleacher space. Coach Todd Thorson said the show features acting, dancing, good music and of course great water skiing. You...
Editor’s Note: From the Sept. 9, 1920 Edmunds County Democrat. The Tennessee House of Representatives, with a quorum present for the first time since August 20, expunged from its journal all record of ratification of the federal suffrage amendment and voting, to non-concur in the action of Senate in ratifying the amendment. Governor Roberts, on being notified of the House’s action, declined to make any statement other than to say that the situation could only be dealt with in a legal manner and was in the hands of Attorney General Tho...
Editor’s Note: From the Sept. 2, 1920 Edmunds County Democrat. Dodging the batteries of camera men as well as the various representatives of suffrage associations who might have claimed precedence in “sitting in” on the ceremonial of honor, Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state, signed the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving suffrage to women. In carefully dodging the moving picture cameras and rival claimants for honors among organizations which have aided in accomplishing suffrage, Mr. Colby likewise avoided the possible inter...
Ipswich/Edmunds Central outlasted Potter County 40-28 in a warm high school football opener for both schools last Friday in Ipswich. The two teams had traded blows for much of the game, but I-EC manufactured a disparately needed 80-yard insurance TD drive capped by Carson Gohl's seven-yard score after the Battlers had climbed to within a TD trailing 34-28 including a two-point conversion. And the hosts would end the visitors' hopes of a last minute miracle with an interception. Ipswich/EC had...
