Did our ancestors twitter?

Those community columns in the old newspapers that told of the day-to-day events in our ancestor's lives really weren't that much different from today's twitter and facebook pages. As I was researching some newspapers this morning, I came across several items that started to read like a twitter feed, so I thought I would share.
