Perkins Led Iowa Journalism With Liberal Thought
George D. Perkins, editor of the Sioux City Journal since 1869, died in St. Joseph's hospital after an illness of four weeks. He would have been 74. The Courier lauds him as a broad, charitable, thoughtful leader respected for eloquence in writing and on the platform. A lengthy editorial reflects on naval policy, U S relations with Japan, and Mexican affairs alongside local government notes. The piece also mentions Navy economy measures under Secretary Daniels and a forthcoming Union Pacific display at the San Francisco Exposition.

Marriages and county tidings from the Courier Pek.
The 1889 Courier Pek notes the wedding of J. C. Beaver to Miss Bertha Hoxie at the bride’s home with Rev. W. F. Davidson officiating. It reports fox sightings, a wolf-hunting party with rabbits caught and dogs lost, a Gleat Lake bank in receivership, cholera reports in Laurens, and heavy livestock losses near Palo Alto. Local officials push assessments, medical visits, and plans for tenement housing as winter tightens.
