Compiled by Kelli Wilkie The Record-Times 100 years ago Folks in Davenport will be able to get their mail in the evenings instead of the next day due to a change in the Westbound train on the Central Washington branch leaving Spokane at 2 p.m. instead of 4:10 p.m. A.

1 years ago At present it is almost impossible to get a home in Odessa. As of the start of the school year all available homes in Odessa are occupied, indicating an increase in population which is contrary to current thought that population was on the decline. A fourth incendiary fire happened in Edwall. The fire was discovered at the Nick Klein residence early in the morning of the 14th. It seems coincidental that all four fires have been late on the 13th or early on the 14th. The four previous fires destroyed two grain...

One of my favorite seasons is quickly approaching-- the fall season. Fall brings so many wonderful aromas and colorful tree leaves, fun events such as county and state fairs along with fair food, Deutschesfest, apple cider, homemade apple strudel, and sporting events like football and volleyball. This is also a time of season when things start to change. The weather gets cooler, tree leaves start to change in color and begin to fall from their branches. We put away the shorts and t-shirts and don our warmer outerwear. Typical...
