Letter From The Editor | Jan. 23, 2025

Hello, warmer weather! And that’s saying a lot considering it’s still in the 20s as I type this.

This week, we’re stepping back in time for our feature story, revisiting the monumental straightening of the Chariton River in 1904—a feat that truly reshaped the landscape of Chariton County.

Also inside: an update from the Chariton County Economic Development Board outlining their goals for 2025; a salute to Catholic Schools Week with a spotlight on St. Joseph School in Salisbury; the Keytesville Tournament brackets for next week; and a celebration of several basketball milestones achieved by players and coaches.
