Acton operates a general banking business transacting money loans on approved notes.
A landlord seats ten travelers in eight rooms by routing pairs into labeled rooms A to H and then reusing rooms to fit all. The host assigns two men to A, one to B, one to C, one to D, two in E and F, and the last two in G and H before looping back to A and L, creating a clever but puzzling arrangement that defies simple counting.
The Ross and Ross West India goods firm employs Abel Strothers and seven clerks in a private, male dominated office. Abel’s twin daughters Lily and Hoss are hidden from the firm until his death reveals their existence and upends a long kept taboo. The two founders John M and John C Ross share a lifelong friendship and a peculiar rivalry shaded by their ban on women.
A dying clerk wills his estate to Messrs. Ross as guardians of his twin daughters Lily and Rose. The brothers agree to honor the will and marry the sisters, ending in a spring double wedding and a reconciled view of women as a misogynist and misogamist reform.
A collection of short quips and anecdotes on choosing spouses by sense not sight. Observations about vanity, misjudging appearances, and everyday folly. A barber joke about impossible hair cuts rounds out the light, ironic musings.
A Kansas jury cleared a man of death by intoxication with a verdict joked as death by hanging round a ram shop. An Indians jury wrote blade to deceive the bidder bustin. A western judge urged jurors to find their own verdict or reuse the last one. A Pekin coroner’s jury oddly ruled a death by a blow on the head may have occurred before or after drowning.
Fragmentary remarks describe quirky phrases about occupation lone hats and weather, followed by a personal note: years of suffering from blaine and mobility issues with a failed relief claim. Names like Shannon Letakdale appear in a garbled reminiscence.
A fragmented advertorial verses the mule killing to blame liquor sales. The speaker admits guilt after confessing to deer and axe theft and links the saloon to crime. The piece promotes Pursam's Parwiss Cons Extracton as a cure and investment offering relief from drunken effects. It lists Polsons & Co Kingston as proprietors.
