The Bowen town financial note shows 1900 figures with 450.00 tax levy, 370.78 collected by the town and 756.00 in collector commissions. Debts due none, with a 2500.00 due to Farmers Bank and a March 28 1900 supervisor statement. The piece weaves a sermon-like moral poem about gatekeeping by St Peter and a donkey of verses on cucumber share. The text ends with promotion of Whites Cream Vermifoam for worms and a local druggist listing.
