Patronic Address Urges Revival of Dormant Granges and State Reform
A lengthy 1879 address to the Patrons of Husbandry argues the Order’s revival is essential for agricultural and civic welfare. It denounces political and economic pressures on farmers, calls for stronger organization, and endorses policy measures including making the U S Commissioner of Agriculture a Cabinet post, boosting farm credit, and uniting diverse classes to defend farmers’ interests. It also notes a steam wagon invention and a political letter from D. Wyatt Aiken addressing reform.

The Great Homet of 1843 Comet Tale in 1813 Sketch
An 1848 New England sighting recounts a brilliant sunward comet with a long tail, observed in Portland Maine and other towns. Observers including Captain Str. Olek used a sextant to measure the object near the sun, with later discussions by astronomer Sears O. Walker. The piece links the 1848 event to earlier comets of 1680 and 1813, debating origins and tail formation, and cites Buffon’s theory and rotating meteors as possible explanations. It notes the curious public reactions and includes miscellaneous local ads and dialogue.
