A Georgia discussion by Jam M. McCaypurse explains cottonseed meal and hulls as cattle feed, noting potential profits from fattening calves on these byproducts. It cites T. B. Sawtell’s 13 month calf experiment, showing 800 to 1890 pounds in six months, selling at 0.634 dollars per pound, and urges farmers to raise their own stock on local forage like Bermuda grass and cow peas for lower costs and year-round pasture.

One piece recalls a gun discharge at Augusta festival causing a man to lose a finger. A second describes a humorous London cab scene and Hyde Park etiquette for visitors dressed to drive a carriage.
An Atlanta Constitution item discusses a lively church scene where a deacon ejects a disruptive brother during a trial of patience. It then shifts to a humorous note on ball reading claiming lines of birth and temperament, followed by a brief portrait of the Turkish autocrat’s daily routine and refined dress.
A humorous reminiscence recalls Lawyer Niles, a jovial Indiana figure who owed a drummer $1.90 for months, acted slyly when handed the dime, and later vanished into office as the cheerful scene of a small town conflict fades. The piece also cites a note on safe cracking and a tale of a restless hotel guest who misregistered his residence.
A vivid reminiscence of Lafcadio Hearn as a Cincinnati reporter who climbed a cathedral steeple on a dare, described with his own sensational prose.
