Random Inklings and Local Notes From The City
A column blends quips and curiosities about society, politics, commerce, and culture. It mentions Gen Grant rumors, two cent coins, Velocipedes for sale, and a mix of morals, wit, and generic observations on manners and public life. It also notes Forrest’s show, a train routine, and local election chatter between Spotts and Potts.
