A rough, jittery column mixes decrees on temperance and education with odd anecdotes about Arlington bagging, Delmonico, and a New York candidate. It wanders from sermons on Sabbath rest to police misfortunes, and ends with transit budget jabs and a railroad office cutback.
In Bainbridge a man selling liquor from pocket was jailed for twelve months on the chain gang while Valdosta enforces fines. Judge Harrell follows Thomasville with a work sentence for each convict, no fines. The piece notes the contrast between the two dry counties and mocks the comparison as odorous.
The Terrell County Board of Education posts a NOTICE in every schoolroom warning pupils that vulgar language at school or on the way to school will lead to expulsion. It cites discipline by the school and notes harsh historical punishment with a hickory. The message ends with a note on orders from the board.
An advertised home remedy claims to relieve rheumatic and urinary ailments using a mix of extracts and syrups. It cites an eminent authority in a New York paper and notes a local druggist can supply ingredients or prepare the mixture. A circus sighting is appended before a Savannah Press note on Georgia counties embracing prohibition after January.
In Decatur County Georgia the sheriff announces sales at Bainbridge courthouse door on the first Tuesday in November. Properties include 370 acres across several lots in the Twentieth district, and other parcels totaling 83 acres, plus 24 shares of Decatur University Tobacco stock tied to an attachment.
The return of the appraisers setting apart twelve months support to the family of Thomas Haircloth, deceased, has been filed. All concerned are cited to show cause by the first Monday in November 1907 why the application should not be granted. This October 8, 1907. T. B. Maxwell, Ordinary.
Notice that D. A. Wy Lane administrator seeks leave to sell lands of Charles Lane for distribution. Lands lie in Miller and Decatur counties Georgia. Application to be heard at the Court of Ordinary on the first Monday in November 1997. October 7 1907.
A rough society column fragment lists names from biblical lineage Ada daughter of Elon the Hittite and Aholibamah daughter of Luah, plus Beshembath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth, with unclear context and no further details.
A stream of testimonials extols Peruna and Manalin for catarrh and rheumatism. Mrs. S A Rogers of LeMoore California reports a fifteen year catarrh battle ended after fifteen bottles of Peruna and five of Manalin. Mrs. Caroline Trunk of Peoria Illinois says Peruna relieved years of rheumatism and embraces both medicines. Other letters claim systemic catarrh cure and general health restoration, with aging readers praising the tonics as best medicines for catarrhal disease.
