A Day With the Veterans at the Home of the Saviors
A visitor recounts a tour of a veterans' home, noting the four story building, chapel, dormitories, and the mix of quiet study and leisure in rooms set aside for amusements. Guards of cleanliness, coffee and bread rations, and mechanical laundry methods are described, along with scenes in the dining hall, workrooms, and a cemetery where 128 veterans rest. The piece reflects on sacrifice, discipline, and the fading generation of Civil War heroes.

Democrats In Convention Nearing a New Ticket
The Union county Democratic convention met at Eldora with W. Scheek elected chair and J. Sharp secretary. Committees formed on credentials resolutions and permanent organization. They endorsed a slate for county offices including W. Strother for sheriff and Thomas Helvern for supervisor, and nominated A. Rodgers for permanent chair and J. J. Sharp for secretary. Delegates to the state convention were chosen. A windfall of storm damage affected corn fields in central and southern areas, with many reports of severe loss and concern for recovery.
