The Democrat notes Count Von Moltke death while pressing local political debates. It argues about Lodge influence on voting, party platforms on fees and salaries, and the county race for superintendent with references to Republicans and Democrats and local editors.
In a bold defense the defendant Moss presents letters from Harvey M. LaFollette J N Kester and Jonathan S Lee all declaring Moss did not lobby against the fee and salary law. They recount Moss attendance and aid to school funding efforts and deny any improper motives or actions.
A local letter to the readers of the Democrat expresses support for Mr. Mose and notes opposition from Mr. West and F. M. B. A. allies. The author recalls personal doubt but credits Mose with beneficial work for Greene County teachers while critiquing others as behind him.
A Greene County teacher-defender lauds Mr Moss as a capable, principled leader who has advanced education, supported teachers, and served county interests. The letter compares him to historic figures to emphasize honesty, dedication, and broad support among educators.
The editorial endorses R. T. Burrell as best suited for county assessor citing his treasury and clerk office experience and accounting skill. It notes minor concern about real estate valuation but argues board of equalization sets values, not the assessor, and urges Democrats to back Burrell to avoid party reproach.
Examination questions set for Greene County teachers cover writing accuracy and penmanship grading with a 50 percent score for posture and manner, followed by 50 percent for desk position and pen holding, plus specific writing and orthography items. Science of education and physiology sections include memory rules, school punctuality, moral judgment, digestion, respiration, poisons, and biographical sketches of Daniel Webster and Stephen A. Douglas.
Readable sections urge essay writing on politics and slavery, arithmetic word problems, geography tasks, poetry, and insect control. The piece includes school assignments, a Shelly excerpt, and practical pest remedies for currants, fruit trees, and garden pests with methods like kerosene emulsion, white hellebore, buhach, Paris green, and spraying guidance.
