Description

The Augusta Beacon was a small local newspaper in the village of Augusta, Michigan that was published between 1902 - 1952.  In the course of doing research for stories, I often read through many old newspapers.  I came across the Augusta Beacon, and in scanning through a few of their early editions I found several stories that were brief, but also quite unusual and even somewhat amusing.  So I decided to create a special episode in reading through a mix of random unusual stories from the fifty years that this paper was published, focusing mostly on the early years of its publication.
