Wednesday, April 17, 1901: One hundred and twenty-five years ago today, The Weekly Sentinel reported news with a dateline from Johnson City, and a date from April 12. Some of the news stories have appeared in this column previously, but in a different form. The news was reported in a column entitled “Johnson City Social Notes”. Readers learned that “The ladies of the town gave a very excellent dinner at the opera house and cleared a neat sum for charitable purposes.”
