A missionary tour of schools notes Miss Browne at Chenever and teachers at Bethany Mt. Bethel and Generoston, praising effort, urging year-round schools, and urging better teacher selection. A Georgia Civil War veteran reunion recalls age, pensions, and battles, with reflections on slavery, migration, and a Northern visitor’s memories.
A reporter visits the Capitol note room and spots Col. John Lawrence Manning Irby in lively talk at the round table. He jokes about regular government pay as he jokes over monthly checks, while the scene includes references to others and a string of unrelated patent remedy ads and a confession of three murders from a dying man.
A reflective piece recounts Cato the philosopher who died by his own hand in Utica, detailing his austere life, military service under Pompey, and final suicide with a digressive blend of moral commentary and assorted antiquarian anecdotes from late 19th century journalism.
An Indianapolis portrait artist recalls a wealthy client who doubted a full length portrait’s likeness. The painter pretended not to worry, later proving the work true when a poodle sniffed and licked the painting, aided by a sausage trick to pass for accuracy.
A party in Nashville watched a large turkey buzzard fly during a sunlit moment before a sudden lightning flash struck the bird. The buzzard fell, feathers scorched and scattered, witnesses recovered from the shock, and the story is reported with local color. An advertisement for Beal’s salve follows, promoting cures for skin conditions at Hill Bros.
