Each week, we look back at what was 鈥渋n the news鈥� the same week 100 years ago 鈥� as reported in the Cork Examiner in 1916.

Tuesday, October 10, 1916
- Nat Ross is too busy to write an advertisement this week.
It happens occasionally, even today. An advertiser will pay for a spot, and never supply an image or copy. Was this intentional? The blank advertisement added a comedic effect on the front page of the Cork Examiner on this day in 1916.
Nat Ross, as many will know, is still in operation today as one of the leading Removals companies in Ireland. 鈥淔or the best part of 200 years Nat Ross removals has been busy moving company and personal belongings,鈥� details the company history webpage. At the time of the Irish Rebellion, Nat Ross would have been known as 鈥渢he premier furniture remover in the South of Ireland.鈥�

- Body Washed Ashore at Dungarvan
The body of a man has been washed ashore at Ballincourty, inside Dungarvan harbour. He appeared to have been very respectable, the clothes being very fine, and a fur coat covered his vest. He wore a gold ring, and had a gold watch. The coastguards and police have taken charge and are making inquiries.
- East Cork Nationalists 鈥� Important Conference
The constituency of East Cork has a proud record of fidelity to the irish Leader and the National Party fighting Irish claims in the British House of Commons, and there also reserving Irish rights. In days of comparative calm and quiet this steadfast support of its people was encouraging; and in times of stress and distracting emergencies the rally of such old, saunch and trusty friends is very cheering and undoubtedly efficacious.
