The Brunswick Times disputes the Tribune's claim that Rome is the state's sixth city by population and wealth. It notes Rome has 412 public school pupils, Brunswick 709, and reports Rome's enrollment rising toward 1,200 for the year. The Recouper backs Americas in the same sixth-city assertion and plans to support it.

Why is it that ex Confederates stay robust while ex Union soldiers fail
The Catlettsburg editor questions why former Confederates appear stout and long lived while many ex Union soldiers are pensioned or seeking it. He notes diet and exposure differed, yet claims many Union vets suffer injuries and disease from service, while Confederates seem healthier. The piece suggests pensions may affect vitality and calls for explanation amid Civil War loyalties.

It notes the trust’s expanded scope, larger membership, and profits as cotton exchanges falter on demanding shipping bagging terms.

Advertising value and mountain farming fortunes in the South
