A fragmented 19th century-tinged column rails at primary finance publicity and party rivalries in Far din county. It notes Roosevelt rejection, Taft, and Republican-Democrat tensions, praising Lincoln and warning of a looming storm in Indiana politics. Reminds readers of socialist threats and hints at reform through education.
The piece argues Taft’s divorce claim mirrors a moral lesson from Gen. Grant’s youth when he battled drinking. It notes Lincoln investigated Grant’s temperance, finding him temperate and capable, and suggests critics will seize on Grant’s past despite the broader truth of his reform.
An echoed musing on the role of a wife's influence in genius. Elbert Hubbard is cited in a July Delmestor piece as saying a new idea needs both partners to become whole. The ad notes shoes by U.S. Diemus & Co and references reputable makers.
A fragmented editorial praising Iowa's prominent role in national affairs. It lauds Gov Ondhmios and Senator Dolliver, urges unity beyond factionalism, and argues Iowa should showcase capable leadership to advance the nation, noting the Republican convention and national responsibilities.
Community leaders urge testing cement paving on a Main Street strip as a practical, cost effective alternative to wooden walks. Observers note Le Mars success on one block with durable results after fifteen years and advocate moving forward locally.
The article recalls how in early New England neighbors delivered packages as a communal practice. It cites Joseph Hawley’s Northampton notebook listing items sent to Boston and anecdotes from Mrs. Lyman’s era of neighbors packing trunks for travels. Lyman’s family coordinated with a driver, awaiting a five minute hold up for a beloved family voyage.
Novelist Crockett recounts an amazing early writing tale from his St James Gazette days. He twice returned an unexpected payment after discovering an unpaid article, then learned the editor had copied his dream idea into print. He awoke one night and drafted it as he dreamed. The piece ends noting few writers earn checks while asleep.
A foreign journal recalls a boy who calls a guest a young man though he is nearly fifty. The father asks what a young man means, and the boy replies that a young man is one who has a good time. The exchange leads to a skeptical remark about a daughter’s suitor and the man’s confidence in his own observations.
A fragmented clipping shows stray phrases about a clash of words and a car ad. It mentions a Brooklyn life setting and a mock dialogue about shock absorbers, with scattered, incongruent lines. The source remains inconsistent and obscured.
A nostalgic reminiscence of a Waterloo oak that sheltered generations of children and families. The piece recalls boys carving initials on the Bommy Oak, German singing gatherings, and community life around the tree near Cobb’s pasture, with memories of local figures like Anarley Mallao and family ties spanning distant towns.
A fragment recalls Charley Pickett and a long list of Waterloo residents familiar to oldtimers. It mentions Homecoming days with glimpses of journalists, merchants, and workers linked to the community’s past, ending with a call for help selling print work and a promise of prompt delivery.
