Today's Weird Holidays!

Every Tuesday, we will be sharing what the day's weird holidays are!


National Brownie Day


National Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day

Throw Back Tuesday

Every week, the Sylvester Local has a section in their newspaper called "Looking back through the Years". This section showcases different events that happened on certain days many years ago. Every week, we will be showcasing parts of their section in our newsletter!

100 Years Ago - December 3, 1920

"Colonel Dan Morgan Smith, leader of the "Battalion of Death", 1st Battalion, 358 Infantry, 90 Division A.E.F., during the late world war will speak at the Methodist Church, Sunday, December 5th, at 3 p.m. He will tell of his experiences in the war. While in service over seas Colonel Smith took part in the St. Mihiel drive at Faye-en-Haye and his battalion was part of the American forces which advanced on Hill No. 350-4, Lea Quatre Chemins, where the battalion surrounded by three German Regiments, fought its way through and was given the name of the "Battalion of Death." The speaking tour of Colonel Smith is under the exclusive supervision of the Anti-Saloon League of America."
