The piece catalogues a wide jumble of fabrics and textiles with prices and colors, followed by a long prose insert titled A ROMANCE OF THE OLDEN TIM describing love by the Pearl River and its tragic end, interwoven with reflective editorials and notices about local officials, building funds, and a political forecast.
