White Hosiery Again Becoming Fashionable
A shopper reports white stockings returning to favor after a long black-dominated era. London style leaders like the Princess of Wales influence fashion, with white silk balbriggan and lisle options praised for comfort and easy wear in warm weather. New designs include open work, dragon or snake motifs, and embroidered anklets with colored accents. Black stockings are said to stain skin and look smaller on the foot, hastening a shift to white.

Savannah News notes outsiders struggle to grasp Macon law and order actions after a mob lynched Moore, alleged only guilty of disorderly conduct, and attacked the carriage driver and the woman Little. The piece calls for Governor McDaniel to uphold the law, condemn mob violence, and dismiss officers who failed to protect the prisoner. It questions why militia was not called when the mob formed.

Cigars That Impress Countrymen From New York Story
A Detroit Free Press note describes a New York cigar seller using three for a quarter cigars wrapped in foil to imply value while paying accomplices to bring in customers. The piece then shifts to terse vignettes: a Terrell county lightning strike injuring Jerry Cutts, a Brockton shoemaker crafting shoes from 852 pieces of leather, and a Wisconsin farmer’s hay wagon spark causing a blaze requiring eleven firefighters.
