Bank at Canton robbed of $700

(From the Jun 17, 1920, edition of the Grand Saline Sun).
The Texas State Bank of Canton was robbed of about $700, consisting of silver and pennies, some time during the night Monday night, according to reports from Canton received here Tuesday. The robbery was discovered when employees of the bank opened up the building Tuesday morning.
It is not known how the robbers gained entrance to the bank, but after first pulling down the window shades and turning on the lights, they cut a hole through the brick wall of the vault of sufficient size to permit a man to enter the vault.
No attempt was made to gain entrance to the safe on the inside of the vault which is provided with a time lock. The money secured had been left outside the safe. The robbers made their getaway without leaving any clue as to their identity, it is said.

1936 has unusual cold

(From the February 20, 1936 edition of The Grand Saline Sun.)
The recent unusual cold weather which we have been having brings to mind similar cold days of earlier years. One man recalled that February, 1889, was a humdinger and A. C. Cantrell states that in April, 1872, there was a heavy snow. Another man recalls on February 19, twenty-five years ago, the mud was axle deep between Grand Saline and Fruitvale. But he did not care, for he had a livery stable team and he was going after his bride-to-be.

Those of you who wish to tell your grandchildren about the winter of 1936 may reliably state that on Tuesday, February 18, the thermometer reached a low of seven degrees.

Pupils ride train to centennial

(From the October 8, 1936, edition of The Grand Saline Sun.)
All aboard for Dallas!
Following a conference of members of the school board Tuesday night, Wednesday of next week was declared a holiday in the Grand Saline school, in order that the pupils may visit the centennial in Dallas. A special train has been chartered to take care of the children who will go from Grand Saline and Van.
The decision to declare a holiday next Wednesday was in line with a like movement which is being fostered all over the state. The Grand Saline group will go on the same day the other pupils from Smith, Gregg, Harrison, Marion, Upshur, Wood and Van Zant county attend.
The railroad companies are cooperating with the Exposition's management to the end that the Centennial may be seen at a minimum cost. Railroad fares are only one-half cent per mile, allowing a passenger to Dallas to make the roundtrip for 70 cents. Admission to the grounds is only 25 cents on this day, and many of the shows and concessions are shown for half price.
Teachers in the school and parents of the children who will go will also be allowed the same low railroad fare and admission price as the children. All of the teachers plan to go, in order to help take care of the children, and superintendent Shivers urges that as many parents go as possibly can.
