Timeline

• 1882 - May, The Congress Cornet Band came late Thursday evening by invitation, and gave our officials a general serenade. Super was served to them at Johnston's Commercial House, which was duly appreciated by the boys. Last, but not least, Dr. C. C. Stouffer made one of his old-time ringing speeches, which pleased everybody. Jonathan Holmes and "marching Through Georgia," and the band joined in the chorus. We heard it said by the band boys that great credit is due to Mayor Burns and the ladies of the Commercial House for hospitalities shown them while here.
• 1886 - April, Mr. Lehr, of Chester township has taken possession of the Commercial House. May success attend him in his new undertaking. He has remodeled the bar already, that is to say he has discontinued its use.
• 1886 - April, A short time ago a paragraph was going the rounds of the papers that West Salem had five saloons and four churches. There are still four churches but only three saloons. Hiram McVicker quit the business and has gone on the fencing gang on the railroad, and Mr. Lehr, of the Commercial House, is a strict temperance man has done away with that saloon.
