On this day in Gainesville: November 12, 1892

We are reading the Gainesville Daily Hesperian from November 12, 1892. Here is some of what the paper printed that day, in its own words.

The top story

President Harrison plans to return to Indianapolis after leaving the executive mansion on March 4. The article describes where members of his family expect to live.

Around town

Bishop Galloway preached to a crowded First Baptist church, with some people unable to get in. He will preside over a mission conference at Ardmore on the 16th.

Things for sale

Heninger Brothers offers suits at $18, $15 and $12 to cash buyers. Single pants and overcoats receive the same reduction.

Gainesville Light and Fuel Co. advertises delivered McAlester coal at $6 per ton and Briar Creek coal at $5.50 per ton.

We will open another day's paper tomorrow.
