Should Atlantic buy the water works now or foreclose bonds
The Atlantic council weighs whether to foreclose the Water Co bonds or have the city own and operate its water plant. The piece recounts 1880 fire, the 1883 waterworks start, a 25 year franchise, and a 1990s lease with 6 percent interest. If foreclosed, stockholders lose. city ownership could save fire protection costs and keep water prices lower, but legal hurdles delay funding and a meeting is set for 7:30 PM at Firemen's Hall.

The Supreme Court affirmed Judge Macy’s eight year sentence for Frank Sherman for the crime of rape, a case from Anita that had been appealed from Cass County.

Grain-O: A Grain Based Breakfast Drink For Children
An advertisement touts Grain-O as a nourishing coffee substitute for kids. It claims Grain-O, made from pure grains, tastes like coffee when prepared and costs about the same. Available from all growers in 160 and 25 cents.
Bitter taste in baking powder and post office age claims
The piece cites Daniel Webster’s maxim that murder will out to critique alum in baking powder as harmful and bitter bread. It argues Dr Price’s tartar powder offers better economy. It then notes postmasters enforcing a sixteen year old rule for mail access, with Carroll Herald editor J B Hungerford insisting no law supports such age limits.
