The Board of County Commissioners designate the Anniston Hot Blast and The Times as the advertising mediums for all county notices. Critics say the choice excludes other papers, was decided hastily, and may have been influenced by a 25 percent bid discount.
The piece warns against hasty generalizations about society from elites and asserts that Newport and Saratoga are not typical of America. It argues most people toil honestly while a few wealthy individuals may misbehave, urging memory of past hardships and restraint in judging national character. It recalls Philadelphia belles and Valley Forge hardships to counter decadence.
The old maids depicted in portraits by Nattier hang in the Versailles palace, showing five royal maids with names Loque Coche Graille and Chiffe. The article notes their lack of beauty and intellect, except the elder Adelaide, who caused misery at court.
The speaker argues prisons function as colleges of crime and praises large scale preventive education. Industrial education is valued as the strongest state tool against crime, countering the cycle of short jail terms that stigmatize first offenders and push them into a permanent criminal class.
Harry Duockwell aged 26 died early yesterday morning at his home after a prolonged coughing fit following a slight cold. His wife sent for a physician but he suffocated before aid arrived. This item from the St. Louis Globe Democrat Nec. 1, 1901 notes the cause as suffocation. An ad for Patferd's Torchoun Syrup claims it could have helped.
An ad claims deafness from inflamed Eustachian tube lining and asserts only constitutional remedies can restore hearing. It offers $100 for any deafness due to catarrh not cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure and promotes circulars from Sree F. J. Twenty & Co. Toledo, with Druggists selling Hall's Family Pills.
An ad denounces so called health foods and praises Clifton patent flour from Branaford Mills Owensboro Ky as the true health food. It urges readers to order Clifton flour to avoid chemically produced products.
An observer recalls a preacher in a remote region who begins by saying I could not refrain from laughing at the bad break of the fellow. The speaker’s solemn tone contrasts with a humorous start, showing how a small mistake can derail a talk and amuse listeners.
The banana, named musa after Antoninus Musa, a freedman and physician of Augustus, is praised as the wise man's food. It is described as extraordinarily productive, far surpassing wheat and potatoes, with claims that a given area could yield 4,000 pounds of bananas, earning it the title prince of the tropics.
An advertisement touts White Ribbon Remedy as a foolproof secret aid to cure or destroy the taste for alcoholic drinks. It claims success across social drinkers and alcoholics, with endorsements from WOTU members and Mrs. A. M. Townsend. Available by mail for $1, with free trial, and sold in Anniston by J. L. Wikle.
