It notes Paris Antwerp cases and the Vaderland voyage, then shifts to catarrh treatment advocating Hall's Catarrh Cure and pills. A local note mentions the Athens and Jefferson railroad subscription list nearing completion with a final canvass upcoming.
A chocolate colored sea serpent was killed last evening near Marengo and Franklin streets in New Orleans by a brave man who attacked the creature without hesitation. The carcass lay on a flood soaked sidewalk as heavy rains swelled the area and impeded movement. The slain serpent, said to be from the Gulf, measured under 30 feet, and readers note the event as a wartime style local oddity with no photos taken.
A brief notice advertises Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets as a remedy for stomach troubles, bitiousness, and constipation with a price of 35 cents. The ad lists Palmar & Bone and W as distributors.
