Bluff City News

Just when I thought I had gone through this winter without a cold, I

managed to come in contact with a bug, which caused me much misery this last week. From what I hear I was not the only one.

Funeral services for Mrs. Lottie Purifoy were held Sat., March 24, at Chidester. Some of you may remember when she and her husband, Lawrence, operated the dairy bar for a short time on the corner of Bluff and Main.

The county is making good progress with the trash clean-up of the county roads. We are wondering when the state highways will be cleaned up.

Occasionally I come across an item of interest about other places in

Nevada County. If any readers of this column are from Sutton, you might be interested in this. In 1913 Sutton had four large mercantile houses, 22 residences, one gin, a sawmill, a grist mill, a shingle mill, four churches, two doctors and a $1,400 school house operated by Professor Hirst.

For those of you who do not know where Sutton is, it is located about eight miles (as the crow flies)

northwest of Rosston.

I was just thinking. Is it a good idea to take deviled eggs or a devil's food cake to a church potluck? Think about it.

George Washington once said, "Do not think that fine clothes make fine men, anymore than fine feathers make fine birds."

Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend. You wouldn't want to be late for church.
