The document lists strict advertising rates and policies for display ads and notices. It specifies column widths and durations with continuous rates, per line costs for various notice types, and discounts for longer contracts. Legal notices follow rates prescribed by law. Invariable rates apply with scheduled deductions for standing ads and contract length.
Five cents a line charges and policy details for obituaries and resolutions of respect. The notice emphasizes seven words per line and a requirement to provide old and new addresses for address changes. It invites local and personal news and letters from readers across the West and South, encouraging the Messenger and Herald as a medium for reconnecting old friends.
Advertisers must submit copy by Tuesday morning each week to allow proper ad disposition and Wednesday press runs. The Messenger and Herald notes satirical items on current politics and public figures, including references to Foraker, Talmage, and a critique of the Democratic party eclipse.
Speaker Sleeper urges Joseph B Foraker as the choice to succeed Calvin Brice as United States senator from Ohio. He extols Ohio as a gateway to the west, cites Sherman era rivals, and praises Foraker’s education, war service, governorship, and unanimous party nomination, ending with the formal nominating declaration.
A pithy quotation notes that while God provides for every creature, He does not place food directly in the nest. The line emphasizes self-reliance and divine provision guiding natural effort. It cites J. G. Holland as the author of the saying.
Senator Foraker in a joint assembly speech backed bimetallism stressing both gold and silver, not 16 to 1 free coinage. He argued parity cannot exist, urged a safe restoration of silver with equal bullion value to gold, and opposed free silver at 16 to 1, citing a need to keep both metals in use as money of final redemption. Also notes stockholders electing Pomeroy National Bank directors and assorted quotes from congressional remarks and poets.
A detailed craft item from Good Housekeeping describes making a violet necktie case using violet plush and cream satin. Materials include silk cord ribbon sachet powder and two-tone finishing bows. Instructions cover cutting edges sewing layers, turning revers, and decorating revers with a violet motif.
Instructions from the New York Tribune outline cake making best practices. Creaming butter and sugar thoroughly, adding well beaten yolks, gradually adding milk, folding in stiffly beaten whites, and avoiding over beating. Use an old fashioned wire whisk, moderate oven heat, and bake times for loaf and fruit cakes.
