Confederate Gift Letter and Women’s Dye Craft Noted
A Barnesville man recalls a letter from General Stonewall Jackson to Col. T. J. Simmons of the 45th Georgia Regiment concerning a suit of clothes made by Mrs. Murphey. The piece highlights Southern women who dyed, spun, and wove fabrics to imitate Confederate grey during camp life, and includes Jackson and Simmons correspondence plus a measure for the suit. Also mentions Jay Gould and stock losses, post office openings, and a broad history of Democratic and Republican party doctrine and elections through Reconstruction.

Reply of the Silver Men Pushes Open Reply to President Elect
A faction of House supporters of silver publish a paper signed by nearly one hundred members outlining why they oppose cashing in on gold and demanding silver be treated as full tender. They argue that silver coinage can coexist with gold and warn against rapid contraction of currency and falling prices.
