The Glasgow Courier 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec 18, 2013 A new addition has been welcomed at the Valley County Sheriff's office in Glasgow. Deputy Christopher Richter began work for the county on Monday, Dec. 16. As Richter settles in, he said he's excited to work for this department and glad to be part of a smaller community.

A group of bibliophiles has decided to revive the Valley County Friends of the Library, which went dormant some years ago. Some of the goals of the...

It's not unusual to find people in Northeast Montana with lifelong careers. After all, we are a farming community.
