Ring, ring goes the C.S. Bell Co. bell
Thursday, January 17, 2019 4:48 AM
Ladies and gentlemen, in our confabulations about the C.S. Bell Co. of Hillsboro, we’ve examined how the venerable bell merchant of yore maintained that churches and farms are incomplete without a bell, and you might surmise that old 1894 catalog we’ve referenced asserts the same thing about schools.

  • A farm is not a farm without a C.S. Bell Co. bell

    Since last week’s offering, I have become the proud owner of my very own C.S. Bell Co. farm bell. When we last spoke, our confabulation centered on how a church is incomplete without a bell – this according to a 125-year-old catalog distributed by the C.S. Bell Co. of Hillsboro in 1894.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve rung in another New Year, and on that note, let’s continue for a moment with our look back at the C.S. Bell Co., which was part of the Hillsboro landscape for multiple generations.

    Ladies and gentlemen, don’t look now, but another year is about to reach its ineluctable conclusion. Yes, as the clock moves toward the midnight hour on Dec. 31, the year of our Lord 2018 will take its final bow while folks near and far ring in another New Year.

    Ladies and gentlemen, when we last chatted about the life and times of McKinley Hobart “Mack” Sauer (1896-1960), we confabulated about the Highland County legend’s books, newspaper April Fool’s Day tomfoolery and how he was rated as one of America’s top speakers.

  • Two well-known Highland Countians pass away the very same day

    Ladies and gentlemen, after I penned an offering last week on how the local bar association unanimously recommended vacating and tearing down the venerable Highland County Courthouse in uptown Hillsboro back in 1960, I have been asked multiple times how I stumbled across such an article that was published decades ago. Well, to be totally honest with you, I simply stumbled across that story.

  • Bar association passes resolution to recommend new courthouse for Highland County

    The older generation might remember the old Hillsboro fire station that stood on the corner of West Walnut and South High streets that burned down a long, long time ago. My dad tells me he thinks it happened around 1948 and that Hillsboro made the news because the waterworks facility also burned down the same year.
