Politeness and race in Bill Arp's political musings
Bill Arp argues politeness costs nothing and pays, sharing tales of two old-time African Americans, one a bent laborer and the other a hopeful lover. He laments racial tensions, white primaries, and segregation, then reflects on manners, education, and social behavior across eras and nations, ending with a product ad and stray observations.

Northfield Sketch and Moody Convention Notes
Northfield Massachusetts sits in the Connecticut Valley near Vermont and New Hampshire, famed for schools Clemson and Winthrop and Moody influence. The seminaries at East Northfield and Mount Hermon host visitors, with three daily meetings in a 3000-seat auditorium and an outdoor gathering at Round Top. Notable speakers include Meyer, Morgan, Sylwyn, Lorrey, and local pastor leaders. Ira D. Sankey leads music with a 200-voice choir. The piece reflects on the rugged valley, past cultivation sites, and the enduring New England character shaped by frugality and distant memories of a busier past.
