Birthday Visit From a General in Mount Vernon
A Washington newspaper recounts a birthday visit to General George Washington at Mount Vernon by a New York reporter. The scene features ornate 18th century attire, dialogue about newspapers, telegraph dispatches, and a chilly reception room, ending with a sharp exchange about a possible steam telegraph and the reporter leaving for the station.

Incubator and Brooder at Dr. We On Davide's Home
A local Edison style inventor in Thomasville operates a compact incubator and brooder system for eggs. The unit uses two glass covered enclosures warmed by kerosene lamps, maintaining 99 to 101 degrees, with automatic heat control and minimal maintenance. Chicks hatchlings, from 48 eggs tested to date, 45 successful, with several hundred more chicks emerging in a later batch. The doctor estimates feeding costs at about one cent per chick for four weeks and plans to scale to 25 cent per head for market sales. The article also references Robert G. Ingersoll's father as a former revivalist and a contemporaneous note on his religious work and public disputes.

Predatory fowls and a Montana minister cited
Flocks of wild geese devastate grain fields with Mr. N. W. Stevenson noting ruined wheat and vegetation wiped out by their touch. A Montana minister faces censure from his congregation for roller skating, seen as a breach of dignity. A country weekly quips about debt reduction in 1883, mocking the capital needed to run such a paper.
