Once upon a time in Bluffton there was Crow's 5 and Dime. It was originally on South Main Street in what today is the lobby of Citizens National Bank. It later moved to what today is Grove's Bears store.
Here's an advertisement for Crow's from the 1970 Bluffton High School yearbook.

The Bluffton Icon has openings for Bluffton High School and Middle School interns this school year, according to Fred Steiner.
The Icon seeks students with a variety of interests for these non-paid positions that offer lots of experience. Students interested in writing, photography and who have knowledge of social media are encouraged to contact Steiner.
Several intern positions are available. For example, students with an interest in movies or music are invited to write movie and music reviews. These writing projects allow students to write opinions using pen names.
Rebekah Gambrell’s grandfather, Harley Steiner, gave Rebekah her first airplane ride when she was in grade school. The ride departed from and landed at the Bluffton Airport.
That ride helped Gambrell, 37, of Bluffton become interested in aviation. When she was in ninth grade she took a trip to Spain and she was hooked.

The first half of this month has provided both warmth and a touch of fall in the evening temps.
According to Pandora weather observer Guy Verhoff, in the days from August 1 through August 12 the highest temperature recorded was on August 7 at 84 degrees (F). The lowest was recorded as 55 degrees on the overnights of August 2, August 4 and August 5.
There has been little precipitation, save for the inch plus of rain recieved on August 2.
