Well, it was the "Night Mail" edition. You'd get it Saturday morning.
The local paper was a day behind on Daugherty, but only to the extent that you got this edition first thing in the morning, or in Saturday's morning mail.
Morning mail?
Yes, morning mail. Mail was delivered twice per day until 1950. It varied a bit by city, however, with some cities restricting that to businesses, and some covering everyone. Some cities had business delivery more than once per day, with some delivering to businesses up to seven times per day.
Twice per day home delivery ended on April 17, 1950. For businesses, that ended in 1969.
The same issue had a tragic story of a love gone lethally wrong, and a shooting at the Lavoye.
The final addition, from the next day, followed up on that last story.
